THE MESSAGE:

In our text, the Psalmist expresses the place of the word of God in his life and leaves no one in doubt that it has been his mainstay. The Almighty God has left us with His word to guide and direct us (verse 105).Its counsels keep us away from sin (verse 101) and they take us into deeper understanding and wisdom (verses 99-100). The word of God is infallible and inerrant. For thousands of years, its content has never been changed or amended and has remained valid today.

The Word of God is God living with us (John 1: 1). As we daily engage the word, we see His Spirit transform and empower us to face life’s challenges. The enemy will not want us to know this truth and so does everything to keep us from engaging God at His Words. But our growth and sustenance come there from (1 Peter 2: 2). And we must not come to a point of satisfaction with it, otherwise we will begin to loathe its counsels (Proverbs 27: 7). Are the words of God sweet to you? How often do you spend time with the word of God? Read the word every day!

PRAYER: Help me Father to hear, read, study, meditate, obey and live by Your word every day
