Dearly beloved in Christ, I greet and bless you in the Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The auspicious life giving word of the Lord, for today is from the book of Psalm 119:72, “The Law from Your mouth is more precious to me. Than thousands of coins of gold and silver”.
As a King, David saw thousands of gold and silver coins, and he saw the word of God as well. He compared both and said, that the word of God is better to him than a thousand pieces of gold and silver. What an amazing verse this is. Children of God who desire silver and gold, I am not telling you not to work for it, we need money, but at the same time, that money will not lead you to heaven. The life-giving words of the Lord will give you life on this earth and in heaven. You must eagerly listen, read and obey the word of God. You must sit in the Lord’s presence. The Psalmist says that he has seen both money and God’s word and has made a final decision that it is the Lord’s word which is more precious to him. Every word in the Bible proceeds from the mouth of God. These words will give you life, open the way to heaven and grant you, blessings here on earth.
Silver and gold will be useful to you for food and to build a house, there is no doubt about that. However, it will not save your life. During the Covid pandemic period, many could not save their lives though they had much wealth. We must understand one thing from this. The Lord’s word surpasses all these. When Lord Jesus spoke to Lazarus in the tomb and said, ‘Lazarus, come out’, those words brought life to him once again. Bible brings life. Seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness first, then all that you need will be added unto you. Those who meditate on the word day and night will be blessed. That person will be like a tree planted by the rivers of water and will bring forth fruit at the right time and whatever they do shall prosper. The one who loves the Bible, reads it and obeys will prosper.
PRAYER: Loving Lord, we thank you! The law from Your mouth is better to us than thousands of gold and silver coins. Let Your children also say that Your law gives them life. That the word of Your mouth keeps them alive. Let them testify that it was your word that made them get out of sickness and deathbed. That Your word is a source of comfort. Let them give importance to the Lord’s word and through that let them be established here on earth with blessings. You have said, “Know the Truth and the Truth shall set you free”. As Your children read and obey Your true word, deliver them from their bondage. Deliver them from sickness and debts. Bless Your children to do well in life.
In Jesus Name we pray,
Amen!
