I love the Bible. I love all of it. It’s old. It links me to different people at church, the young and the old. When I was in college I would walk down peaceful country roads and memorize the Sermon on the Mount. I love words in general and the words of the Bible are the most treasured. It Psalm 119 someone wrote of the goodness of the Bible. I read some of it this morning for a quiet time. Until I read it, I was feeling a little down and then I remember how fun it is too get excited about the Word of God. Here’s a good memory passage:
Psalm 119:129-136 (King James Version)
129Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them.
130The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.
131I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments.
132Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name.
133Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.
134Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy precepts.
135Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me thy statutes.
136Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy law.
