Psalm 119:9-11<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/em>How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word. With my whole heart I have sought You; Oh, let me not wander from Your commandments! Your word I have hidden in my heart,<\/em> that I might not sin against You.\u201d <\/em><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As I was praying about the subject for this issue of BLESSINGS FROM THE HEART<\/em>, my thoughts were drawn to \u201cYour Word.\u201d When I checked a concordance I discovered that Psalm 119 has so many references to these two words that it was difficult to count them. Not only that, but there were a vast number of synonyms for God\u2019s Word.<\/p>\n

I have heard that Jewish boys were required to memorize all of Psalm 119. That may not sound like much until you check and discover that there are a total of 176 verses in this chapter. (When was the last time you memorized one or two verses?)<\/p>\n

Most of us have several Bibles in our possession. In many cases they look like they have never been opened. I always try to be careful when I purchase a new Bible, but it seems like before long it becomes so worn and marked up that I need to go shopping for a new one. It is sheer bliss to pick one of my old Bibles and thumb through it and read a few of the notes I had made.<\/p>\n

The important thing is that our Bibles are God breathed. The words are His words! I want those words to burn deep into my heart and keep me focused on Him at all times.<\/p>\n

“A Bible that\u2019s falling apart usually belongs to someone who isn\u2019t.”<\/em> –<\/strong>\u00a0Charles H. Spurgeon<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!<\/p>\n
