What would your Christian life be like if you had no Bible? Would that make any difference? After all, what is the Bible supposed to do for our lives?
God gives us some answers to those questions in this Psalm. Every verses in this long psalm (except verse 4) in someway refers to the Word of God. The psalm is arranged according to the Hebrew alphabet. It’s as though God were saying, here are the ABCs of how to use the Word of God in your life.
“Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord!” (v.1). “Undefiled” means “people who are blameless, those who have integrity.” If we have integrity, our whole lives are built around the Word of God. The psalmist says, “Blessed are those who keep His testimonies, who seek Him with the whole heart!” (v.2). Are you wholeheartedly into the Word of God? In the Bible, heart refers to the inner person, and that includes the mind (v.7). It also includes the will (v.8). In other words, when you give your whole heart, mind and will to the Word of God, it starts to put your life together. Is your life or your home “falling apart” today? Turn to the Word of God.
The Bible has one author—God. It has one theme—Jesus Christ. It has one message—the salvation of your soul. It has one blessing to bring—a life of integrity.
