Convictions and Practice (Psalm 119:128)

Therefore I esteem right all Your precepts concerning everything, I hate every false way. Psalm 119:128
In verse 127, the psalmist declared that his love for God’s word far exceeded his love for an abundance of riches. This verse describes the confidence the psalmist has in the word. God’s word is always right about everything. How liberating it is to be able to go to one source and have confidence that all the information it provides is trustworthy? There is not another book in the entire world that presents truth as God has revealed in the Bible. With such a resource at hand, dear believer, we must not treat it with complacency. We have received this revelation at a great cost. Our ability to be able to understand it was made possible through the redemption that is found in Christ Jesus and the provision of the Holy Spirit. The Bible is our source of divine revelation, and it instructs us concerning that which is right and that which is evil. The Bible makes it possible for us to love what God loves and to hate what God hates. When we distance ourselves from God’s word, we may find that we begin loving the things that God hates and hating the things that God loves. Value the treasure that God has given to us in His word and enjoy the amazing blessing of growing in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
