The Importance Of God's Word

I was reading in my Bible not too long ago, and I noticed that Psalm 119 is completely saturated with the different forms of God's word.

There are 176 verses in Psalm 119 and 176 times, the writer mentions the Word of God.

I thought to myself,

" This is the largest chapter in the entire Bible. If God chose to use the largest chapter in the Bible to tell us about His word, it must be pretty important."

This chapter tells us, in so many ways, to trust in God's word. 

THAT SHOULDN'T BE IGNORED!!!

Why wouldn't we want to trust in something that is;

Good vs 39

Righteous vs 62

Better than Gold or Silver vs 72

Sweeter than honey vs 103

A lamp and a light vs 105

Wonderful vs 129

Pure vs 140

Truthful vs 151

And Endures Forever vs 160

Why wouldn't we want those things in our lives? 

God wants those things for us and tells us what will happen if we apply His words to our lives.

We will be Blessed vs' 1, 2, 12

We will walk in Liberty vs 45

We will be Comforted vs 52

We will be Glad vs 74

We will be Wiser vs 98

We will have more Understanding vs 99

We will have Great Peace vs 165

(notice it is GREAT peace)

Our lips will utter praise vs 171

.....................So, what I gather from this is that we should take God's word very seriously.

It has all the answers we need. Just think of all the heartache we could skip, just by listening and following the Holy, Righteous, Living Word of God.
