Psalm 119:153ff – God’s Word, Part 4

 

1.    One of the most difficult things in the life of faith is to be accused by Satan and ungodly people. “Plead my cause.” Prayed the Psalmist and God defended him. When the enemy accuses you, let the Word of God assure you (Zech. 3), for the Word is truth. If Satan tries to drag you into His court, read Romans 8:31-39.

 

2.     Knowing the Word of God and obeying it will bring joy to your heart, the kind of joy you would have if you found a buried treasure or inherited a fortune. If material wealth is your goal, God’s Word will not be a joy to you; but if you love the Word more than money, you will have eternal spiritual treasures. Along with joy you will experience love, peace, and hope – treasure money cannot buy.

 

3.    If you put the Word of God first in your life, you will have something to sing about. Spontaneously, you will find yourself singing God’s Word and turning statutes into songs. When your heart delights in God’s law, your lips must declare God’s praise (matt.12:34). After all, you talk about the things you love. When God’s Word fills your heart, the right words will come out of your mouth. (Col.3:16; 4:6).
