Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. (Psalm 119:105 NKJV)
We may know
God, says the Psalmist, through a threefold revelation. Though they have no
audible voice or language, the heavens declare the glory of God, and the
firmament of space, studded with myriads of stars, shows His handiwork. Though
speechless, their words witness for Him to the uttermost parts of the earth.
The closing
stanza of this great Psalm unfolds God's handiwork in the construction and
direction of our moral nature. Between these golden clasps the Psalmist extols
the Scriptures under ten striking similitude’s, and that disposition must be
indeed extraordinary that does not come within the scope of one of them. The
soul that needs restoring; the simple who would become wise; the sad heart who
would rejoice; the eyes that would be enlightened; the soul that longs for the
gold of truth; the desire for sincerity and reality; the search for understanding
and righteousness, all such needs and many more are met from a devout reading
of Holy Scripture.
All great
ministries which have remained fresh and fragrant through long courses of years
have proved the wealth of inexhaustible teaching and inspiration which lies
hidden in the Bible. Let's each one resolve to soak ourselves in the Scripture
before turning to prayer, as water poured in to moisten the sponge, it will
help to draw up the living water of truth.
PRAYER
Teach us, Heavenly
Father, to read, mark, learn and inwardly digest Your words, that we may be
thoroughly furnished unto all good works, and be enabled to lead others into a
true understanding of and love for its hidden treasures. I pray you in Jesus'
name, Amen.
