How crucial to life is the Word of God?

Read Psalm 119:169-176.

Taw

In many ways this twenty-second and final stanza of this longest chapter in the Bible summarizes all the psalmist's previous concerns.  Spurgeon commented that in this last section the prayer contains increased "force and fervency."

In every single verse there is a reference to the Word of God.  Do not miss how pervasive the Scriptures are for living!

1. It is the source of our understanding. (v.169)
2. It is the key of our deliverance. (v.170)
3. It is the joy of our learning. (v.171)
4. It is the truth of our song. (v.172)
5. It is the our choice of our commitment. (v.173)
6. It is the delight of our heart.  (v.174)
7. It is the basis of our help. (v.175)
8. It is the hope of our rescue. (v.176)

"For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart."
(Hebrews 4:12)
