The Perahu Pustaka, or Book Boat, is a unique mobile library in Indonesia. A journalist decided to combine his love of boats and books by building a baqgo, a small sailboat, that takes 4,000 children’s books per trip to villages where literacy is low and pleasure of reading is unknown. When the boat arrives, kids swarm to see what books he’s brought this time! The most valuable book in the world is God’s Word. While the word “treasure” doesn’t appear in today’s reading, it does say that the “decrees of the Lord . . . are more precious than gold, than much pure gold” (vv. 9–10). Other verses in the Psalms echo this refrain: “The law from your mouth is more precious to me than thousands of pieces of silver and gold” (119:72). Since wisdom is a treasure, and since it begins with the fear of the Lord, and God’s Word teaches us wisdom, it’s no surprise to find that Scripture and treasure are described in similar terms. What qualities or characteristics of God’s Word make it so valuable? It refreshes and reinvigorates us with new life and strength (19:7). It’s absolutely trustworthy and reliable. It gives wisdom, helping us grow to maturity. It’s right, just, and fair, a fact which brings joyful satisfaction (v. 8). It’s radiant, that is, it illuminates or gives insight. It’s pure (v. 9). It’s eternal, enduring forever (Isa. 40:8). It’s always true. It’s “sweeter than honey,” meaning delightful and desirable (Ps. 19:10; cf. Prov. 2:10; 24:14). It warns us against sin and keeps us on the right path (Ps. 19:11). By obeying it we can gain “great reward.” In short, God’s Word is “perfect” (v. 7). It reflects God’s character and reveals His will. It speaks to our mind about truth, beauty, and obedience. What a treasure!
