"Thy Word is very pure, therefore Thy servant loves it."

- Psalm 119:140

As believers, we should long for and love the word of God because in the Scriptures, we find infinite treasures. Moody writes,

“In joy and sorrow, in health and in sickness, in poverty and in riches, in every condition of life, God has a promise stored up in His Word for you. If you are impatient, sit down quietly and commune with Job. If you are strong-headed, read of Moses and Peter. If you are weak-kneed, look at Elijah. If there is no song in your heart, listen to David. If you are a politician, read Daniel. If you are getting sordid, read Isaiah. If you are chilly, read of the beloved disciple. If your faith is low, read Paul. If you are getting lazy, read James. If you are losing sight of the future, read in Revelation of the promised land.”

May we say with the Psalmist, “I rise before dawn and cry for help; I wait for Thy words. My eyes anticipate the night watches, that I may meditate on Thy word.” Be encouraged!
