This morning I was reading through Psalm 119 and came across verses 161 and 162. They read, "...but my heart trembles at Your word. I rejoice in your promise like one who finds great spoil (treasure)." As I read that verse, I was reminded of all the promises associated with righteousness I had recently been studying (see my earlier post). Although interested in the promises, I didn't exactly feel like I had found treasure.
Clearly there is a gap between my experience and God's purpose for His Word and promises. I am encouraged when I read His promise - but not to the level I would if they were treasure. How great it would be if we fully comprehended God's word, His promises to us and His plan to fulfill those promises. I think our lives would be lived out significantly different.
Lord, help me to rightly discern Your word and promise to me, that I might treasure Your word and respond to You accordingly. That I might tremble at Your word - in anticipation of Your fulfillment.
