Psalm 119: Love Letters

Would you be able to write 176 statements about your love of God’s Word and your dedication to it?

The Bible has been out of style lately.

There was a time not too many decades ago when most people, even those who weren't really "religious", treated the Bible with respect. They knew a few popular verses and held it in high regard.

Now it seems more in vogue to treat the Bible like a waste of ink and paper.

The really sad thing, though, is that a lot of believers have gotten into the habit of disrespecting the scriptures. Obeying laws is something churches emphasized back in the day, back when theology was king and rules were made to be idolized.

It would do us all good to spend time inhaling the perfumed fragrance of David's love letter. Or should I say letters?

David alphabetized this Psalm. It's as though he was saying, 'How do I love the Word? Let me spell out the ways . . .'
Great peace have those who love your law,
and nothing can make them stumble.
Psalm 119:165
