“…Do not my words do good to him who walks uprightly?” Micah 2:7
          In a recent Victory Call I shared the comfort from knowing God’s word is fixed, unchanging and sure. It doesn’t change with the season or with cultures or generations.  Psalm 119 is a wonderful psalm focused on God’s Word.
          Psalm 119: 89 Forever, O Lord, your word is firmly fixed in the heavens. 
          In the next 20 verses, the psalmist speaks often of the word.
Verse 92-93: If your law had not been my delight, I would have perished in my own affliction.  I will never forget your precepts, for by them you have given me life.

Verse: 98, Your commandment makes me wiser than my enemies, for it is ever with me.
Verse 100: I understand more than the aged, for I keep your precepts.
Verse 101: I hold back my feet from every evil way, in order to keep your word.
Verse 105: Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.
Verse 107: I am severely afflicted; give me life according to your word!
          I hope you did not skim or skip over these verses as I myself am often tempted to do – for these verses are the meat of this Victory Call. I have only selected a smattering of the 176 verses in Psalm 119 man of which speak of the value of God’s Word.  God’s Word does do good to him who walks uprightly.  Don’t slouch when it comes to God’s word.
          Blessings, Diane
