One of my very favorite Psalms is the 119th. The psalmist spends 176 verses, in 22 stanzas, praising, pondering, and seeking the Word of God. In fact, in only a very small handful of verses is a term for God's Word NOT mentioned.
If any one thing comes across in this beautiful piece, it is that the writer of this masterful piece of poetry loved God's Word. Perhaps that is why I love the psalm so much. For I feel the very same way. As much as I see the world ignoring--or worse, cursing--it, God's Word is so precious.
It is time for you to act, O Lord; your law is being broken. because I love your commands more than gold, more than pure gold,...I hate every wrong path. Psalm 119:126-7, NIV
