"The law of the Lord is perfect,
restoring the soul."
Psalm 19: 7
After an extended workout at the gym, or a long bike ride
on a scorching day, a refreshing sports drink can restore
a body’s electrolytes. After a grueling week to hit a project
work deadline, a long weekend can restore one’s strength.
And after a prolonged time of trouble leading to a
diminished faith, the Word of God can restore a soul.
Or so says psalmist David, who, given his life’s up-and-down
path, should know. But restoring the soul is not all the Word of
God can do. It can make the simple wise, it can bring joy
to the
heart, and it can enlighten the eyes (Psalm 19:7-8). And who
wouldn’t want more of those benefits?
It's more valuable than gold and sweeter than honey (verse 10).
Who would turn that down? To get all those benefits, we must
embrace the Word. The more we do, the more of those benefits
we will desire, and we will dig deeper and deeper.
If those benefits appeal to you, don’t miss a day
reading and studying God’s Word. The more you
do, the more you will be blessed!
"The Bible is the book of my life.
It’s the book I live with, the book
I live by, the book I want to die by."
