God's Word


In Psalm 19:7-11 it says what Gods Word is, and what the effects that it has upon those who mine it's wisdom "as for hidden treasure."
God's Word is:
Verse.7 "perfect, converting the soul" (1 Peter 1:23 says that men are saved by "the Word of God".)

Verse.8 "right, rejoicing the heart" (Jeremiah 15:16 calls it "the joy and rejoicing of my heart")

Verse.9 "pure and enlightening" (proverbs 30:5 says "every word of God is true" and psalm 119:130 says that His word "gives understanding")

Verse.10 "clean and eternal" (In Matthew 24:35 Jesus says "my Word will never pass away.")
(Psalm 119:142,151,160 also speak of the eternal truth of Gods Word)
V.11 his word "warns" us of sin. Psalm 119:9 says that Gods Word can "cleanse our way".

Lord, thank You for Your Word which saves and sanctifies. (Ephesians 1:13)

On Wisdom


 2 Great examples of how to answer a question wisely on any subject.

the apostle Paul: "what saith the scripture?" (Romans 4:3)

the Lord Jesus: "what is written in the Law?" (Luke 10:26)

as we might say today when faced with a question: "What does God's Word say about it?"

Gods Word truly holds the answer to all things that "pertain to life and Godliness." (2peter1:3)

Thank you Lord for Your Words which give "wisdom", and for the "knowledge and understanding" that "go out of Your mouth."
