Psalm 119:18 Behold the Worders of thy Law

Psalm 119:18 (KJV)  Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law. 

The counselling power of God’s Word in the believer’s life comes when God opens our spiritual eyes to behold the wonders of His truths. It comes from the illumination of the Holy Spirit, supernaturally given through prayer as he ponders and prays over God’s counsel.   

Let every sincere Christian, therefore, resolve in his or her heart that if God’s word is of the highest authority, then we must give it the highest place in our hearts; we must live by the word, and act by the word, and die by the word. 

Scripture gave to us in the book of Job, the earliest recorded writing of Scripture such a man of God – Job 1:1 “There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed (hate) evil.” The word “perfect” does not mean sinless perfection but holiness. He was a man who walked with God, who made right with God by that close communion with God. He made right with God and he interceded for his children daily. God Himself pronounced him “perfect.”

May the Lord bless His Word to our hearts on this new day. Amen.
