I wonder if the Old Testament people of Israel realized how privileged they were. This is what the Psalmist addresses in today’s passage. He’s telling the Jewish people (verse 13) to praise the Lord because of all He has done for them. He gave peace in their borders. He fed them. He gave them His Word and His Law. He gave them land. God deposited with Israel the precious treasure of His Word.

Notice what the psalmist says about the Word of God.

Verse 15 tells that God’s Word runs. When God speaks, the Word goes out like a rapidly running messenger and accomplishes His purposes. God runs the universe by His Word. He decrease things, and they happen.

God‘s Word also melts obstacles (v.18). God’s Word can melt the cold, hard heart. Are you facing an impossible situation? The Word of God can melt any bars or walls and opens to way for you.

Finally, God‘s Word blesses (vv.19,20). Read the Word of God. It’s a great treasure that, when invested in your life, bears fruit.

God‘s Word runs and accomplishes His will. It melts and opens the way. And it blesses all who will receive it, obey it and trust it. God desires that you spend time daily appropriating the riches of His Word. Do you invest God’s Word in your life?
