I have rejoiced in the way of Your testimonies,
As much as in all riches.— Psalm 119:14
Father...I am so thankful for your testimonies! Truly my heart fills with joy when I pick up your word each morning and read...I have You...the all sufficient Becoming One who never leaves me and never forsakes me. The One who directs my path, perfects that which concerns me, performs all things for me and to whom I come to find rest, is MINE! Truly, I rejoice at Your word, as one that finds great spoil. I feel like Jeremiah when he says this in chapter 15:
Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.
Your way also is in Your word and my delight is in both! There are many things that I could live without in this life, but Your word, Father, is not one of them. Too many go through this life without ever reading Your word or read it sporadically without understanding. Use my love of the gift of Your word to change that. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by Your word. Speak Your word through me to others during the course of each of my days. May they know its praise and its power by coming to know its Author.
The fear of the LORD [is] clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD [are] true [and] righteous altogether. More to be desired [are they] than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.—Psalm 19:9-10
47 And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved. 72 The law of thy mouth [is] better unto me than thousands of gold and silver. 77 Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for thy law [is] my delight. 111 Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they [are] the rejoicing of my heart. 127 Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold. 162 I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil.—Psalm 119: 47,72,77,111,127,162
