As followers of Jesus Christ, we should honor and respect God’s Word. The Bible gives us guidance on this topic.
Your words were found, and I ate them, and Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart; for I am called by Your name, O Lord God of hosts. (Jer 15:16)
God’s Word should give us joy and cause us to rejoice in His goodness, His nature, and His salvation.
I have restrained my feet from every evil way, that I may keep Your word. I have not departed from Your judgments, for You Yourself have taught me. How sweet are Your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth! (Ps 119:101-103)
In order to observe [obey] God’s Word, we endeavor to live holy, upright lives. This is because we consider the Word of God to be sweeter and more satisfying to us than anything else in our lives.
The law of Your mouth is better to me than thousands of coins of gold and silver. (Ps 119:72)
The Word displays to us a right attitude through the above passage in Psalms. The psalmist said that God’s Word was more precious to him than thousands of gold and silver coins! He was saying that money paled in comparison to the value of God’s precious Word to him.
May each and every one of us agree with the psalmist in this matter. Praise the Lord!
