10/11/2020 - Thy Word - Psalm 119

Throughout history philosophers have asked many questions. You've asked them too. What is the meaning of life? Where did I come from? What happens when I die? Is there life after death? How do I get to heaven? Why does evil exist? Why do I struggle to do good? In addition to these "big" questions, the Bible gives much practical advice in areas such as: What do I look for in a mate? How can I have a healthy marriage? How can I be a good friend? How can I be a good parent? What is success and how do I achieve it? How can I change? What really matters in life? How can I live so that I do not look back with regret? What do I do with my guilt? How can I overcome the unfair circumstances and bad events of life? To each of these questions there is in answer found in the Bible. Why? Because it is God's word to mankind; helping us know how to live life. However, it's not just understanding that God's word brings. Consider this...

Blessed are those whose way is blameless, who walk in the law of the Lord! 
Psalm 119:1

There it is again...that word blessed. Literally, it means, happy. The Word of God brings happiness into your life because it brings freedom. You can be free from the culture as it pressures you into its shape like plastic molding. How about spending at least 15 minutes a day in the Word? You can do it. It's a matter of priority really. Spend the time in God's book and experience understanding, happiness, and freedom. You will not be disappointed!
