October 7, 2022 -- Psalm 119:72 -- What is worth more than gold and silver? Find out!

People loved by the Father, in the Spirit's power: Sh'ma ~ hear and obey Jesus!

The Law of Your mouth is better to me,
   than thousands of gold and silver pieces.
Psalm 119:72 ESV

The Law of God teaches me I am a sinner. The Law of God shows me Jesus Christ is my Savior and Captain of Salvation. The Law of God guides me in thankful living. When I wonder, how can I thank Him for all His blessings to me? It is the Law of God that is right there, like lights illuminating the pathway of life in the darkness of this world’s wickedness. Exodus 20:1-17 the 10 Commandments and Jesus’ summary: Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength and love your neighbour as yourself. These are the vital truths which direct our feet in riches that are better than gold

The Law of God is better than gold and silver because thieves can steal money. The stock market can crash. Money is deceptive and the love of money is a root of evil. Gold and silver pieces cannot help me in the grave. Only the Law of the LORD’s mouth, the Law which points out sin, directs the believer to the Savior and guides one in thankful living—that Law is the precious gift which carries us through all of life and which is our joy and song in eternity. God is better. God is all my Hope and all my Joy!

O LORD,
No day of my life has passed that has not
   proved guilty in thy sight.
   Prayers have been uttered from a prayerless heart.
   Praise has been often praiseless sound;
   My best services are filthy rags.
Blessed Jesus, let me find a cover in thy appeasing wounds.
Though my sins rise to heaven,
   thy merits soar above them;
Though unrighteousness weighs me down to hell,
   thy righteousness exalts me to the throne.
All things in me call for my rejection,
All things in thee plead for my acceptance.
I appeal from the throne of perfect justice
   to thy throne of boundless grace.
Grant me to hear thy voice assuring me:
   that by thy stripes I am healed,
   that thou wast bruised for my iniquities,
   that thou hast been made sin for me,
   that I might be righteous in thee,
    that my grievous sins, my manifold sins,
       are all forgiven,
       buried in the ocean of thy concealing blood.
I am guilty, but pardoned,
lost, but saved,
wandering, but found,
sinning, but cleansed.
Give me perpetual broken-heartedness,
Keep me always clinging to thy cross,
Flood me every moment with descending grace,
Open to me the springs of divine knowledge,
   sparkling like crystal,
   flowing clear and unsullied
   through my wilderness of life.
