Read Psalm 119:161-168

My heart stands in aweof Your words. I rejoice at Your word as one who finds great spoil. I hate anddespise falsehood, but I love your law. (vv. 161-163)

Make sure that your heart gets involved in the word of God!

It can be very easy for our heart to be left out when itcomes to God’s word. We get our minds involved—we try to understand the Bible.We get our will involved too—we try to obey the Scriptures; we try to build ourlives around God’s way of life. But if we fail to involve the heart, we willalso fail at the level of both our intellect and our will.

So, why should our hearts stand in awe of God’s word?

1. Because God’s wordushers us into the presence of God. Remember, this is God’s word; it is Hisrevelation of Himself to us! Do you want to walk through life with a sense ofGod’s presence? Then spend time with Him in His word!

2. Because His word describes the acts of Godon the behalf of men and women. From the Bible, you can learn how God relatesto you.

3. Because God’s wordis put together like a treasure map of great skill and intrigue. When weapply our minds and hearts to it, we find the most beautiful treasures. Whatwill you discover today?
