If you’ve never read Psalm 1, Psalm 19, and Psalm 119 (in order) you will notice something: God’s Word is powerful and it accomplishes a lot. Here is a little taste from Psalm 119 of what God’s Word does:
- God’s Word guides my way, v.5
- purifies my life, v.6-7
- removes anything false in me, v.9
- produces reverence for God, v.12-16
- increases my courage, v.46
- comforts me in afflictions, v.50
- guards me from panic, v.61
- teaches me discernment, v.66
- cultivates patience, v.87
- revives me spiritually, v.93
- increases my understanding, v.98-99
- creates a joyful heart, v.111
- sustains me when I feel helpless, v.116
- enables me to love what’s right and hate what’s wrong, v.128
- causes me to walk in the truth, v.129-130
- fills me with delight even in the midst of difficulty, v.143
- teaches me to pray, v.149
- rescues me when I’m defenseless, v.153-154
- fills me with praise and with peace, v.164-165
