I Rejoice at Thy Word

"I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil.” (Psa 119:162).

It is impossible to overestimate the preciousness and value of the word of God. Without the blessed word we would not know where we had come from nor where we were going. We would not know how to live, and would not have anything like an adequate knowledge of the Savior. But words fail to express the value of the Holy scriptures.

As we pore over its pages in an attitude of prayer God will open to us His storehouse of great treasures. These treasures are to be esteemed far above silver and gold. A man may have much silver and gold and still be miserable, but the man who rejoices at the word of God has true contentment. He alone has a right sense of values.
