1 | What is the "word?" | Ps 119:16 | BradK | 163242 | ||
Hello mommapbs, The verse almost appears to re-phrase Ps. 1:2. Here is what C.H. Spurgeon says about this verse in his work, "The Treasury of David": Verse 2.- And now mark his positive character. "His delight is in the law of the Lord." He is not under the law as a curse and condemnation, but he is in it, and he delights to be in it as his rule of life; he delights, moreover, to meditate in it, to read it by day, and think upon it by night. He takes a text and carries it with him all day long; and in the night-watches, when sleep forsakes his eyelids, he museth upon the Word of God. In the day of his prosperity he sings psalms out of the Word of God, and in the night of his affliction he comforts himself with promises out of the same book. "The law of the Lord" is the daily bread of the true believer. And yet, in David's day, how small was the volume of inspiration, for they had scarcely anything save the first five books of Moses!" I hope this will help answer your question. BradK |

Thanks BradK - imagine only 5 books to treasure . . . and what do we do with 66? I suspect that for many, they sit on a shelf gathering dust while we fill our minds with authors of a lesser god. Blessings to you, mommapbs |

3 | What is the "word?" | Ps 119:16 | BradK | 163275 | ||
mommapbs, Interestingly, the last half of Spurgeons' commentary on Ps. 1:2 spoke to your exact point: "How much more, then, should we prize the whole written Word which it is our privilege to have in all our houses! But, alas, what ill-treatment is given to this angel from heaven! We are not all Berean searchers of the Scriptures. How few among us can lay claim to the benediction of the text! Perhaps some of you can claim a sort of negative purity, because you do not walk in the way of the ungodly; but let me ask you — Is your delight in the law of God? Do you study God's Word? Do you make it the man of your right hand — your best companion and hourly guide? If not, this blessing belongeth not to you." BradK |
