Kurt Steele - The power of the word of God

Psalm 119 is a chapter in the Psalms that speaks if the preciousness and power of God's word. I love this subject and I have to say that a dear friend of mine, Chuck, has caused me to fall in love with the word of God all the more. He speaks of the word with such reverence and awe. He gets so excited about the dep truths in the Bible that he discovers. I am going through the bible now and reading every word and every day I ask God, "What do you have to speak to me from the wonderful words of life, the Holy Scripture?" I amazed how God meets me and speaks. I am using a four color pen and each color represents something in the margin of my bible. Red is for the words God speaks something directly to me. Blue are my prayers to Him. Green is life application for me to live. Black is som insight or cross reference. What an adventure...but now I am memorizing as much as I can. I am trying to occupy all of my spare time to attempt to master the Scriptures by memory. What an exciting adventure.

Psalm 119 tells us that the word of God:

Restores us
Revives us
Keeps us from sin
Guides us
Instructs us
Corrects us
Lights our way

We must master the Word of God. Thanks Chuck for pointing me back into God's holy word.
