I LOVE THE OLD BIBLE

Scripture: Psalm 119:97 “O how love I thy law! It is my meditation all the day.”
 
     “I love the old Bible it is the Book for me.  I read it every morning.  It’s the first words that I see.   In the precious old Bible the answer can be found.   I love the old Bible see the glory coming down.”   
     This precious Book was written by about 40 men over a period of about 1600 years dating from 1500 BC to about 100 years after Christ.  These men wrote this Scripture as they were given inspiration by God (2 Timothy 3:16). It contains 66 books and 1189 chapters. It reveals to us the plan of God for fallen man.  It tells of man’s fall and then of his fallen nature that needed redemption.  It tells of how God sent His only begotten Son, Jesus to be the Savior of the world.  It tells of the peace that comes from accepting His free gift of grace and the joy that is available through forgiveness.  This precious Book tells us not only how to get saved, but also how to live for God and please Him all of our days!
     The Preacher’s Outline and Sermon Bible Commentary says concerning our text verse, “In this section, the psalmist emphasizes that God’s Word produces holiness in our lives. The cleansing power of God’s Word had transformed him completely, changing both his behavior and his desires.
     The psalmist proclaims his love and meditate on God’s Word through the day.  We should obey it and make it our guide.  He is overflowing with appreciation for what God’s holy Word had done in his life, the psalmist proclaimed his love for the Scripture. His affection for God’s law was not an empty or fleeting emotion. He was wholly devoted to God’s Word and meditated on it all through the day.  How much do you love the precious Old Bible?  How much time do you spend meditating upon its precious Words?
