Daily Bible Nugget #178, Psalm 119:93

The Nugget:

Psalm 119:93 I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me.

My Comment:

The Scriptures declare they are designed for quickening. In Psalm 119 there are about ten different titles given to God’s written Word, the Bible. In Psalm 119:93 the Psalmist uses the title “thy precepts.” He says he will never forget God’s precepts. What God has placed in His written Word has been the instrument God used to bring spiritual life to the Psalmist. Therefore, the Bible declares that it is the means God uses to bring about spiritual life to the reader. But for this to take place, the Bible must be understandable. The Bible surely is understandable enough, or clear enough, for its readers to grasp the truths necessary to be believed to receive eternal life. God works through the message of His written Word, whether we read it for ourselves, or whether we hear it taught or preached vocally. The Psalmist is delighted with God’s Word and thankful for what it has meant in his life. We should be too.
