GRACE, Exploring Its Riches



                                     uprightness of heart, When I learn Your righteous
                                     judgments. I will keep Your statutes; Oh, do not
                                     forsake me utterly! How can a young man cleanse
                                     his way? By taking heed according to Your word.
                                     With my whole heart I have sought You; Oh, let
                                     me not wander from Your commandments! Your
                                     word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not
                                     sin against You.”


                               Actually, all of Psalm 119 points at how the word of God has
                               the  grace  within  it  to  produce  instruction,  cleansing,
                               direction, revival, illumination, and several other profitable
                               virtues that can be desired for living a godly life.


                               e.     A Recipe for Good Success
                               After the death of Moses, the servant of God, God started to
                               speak to his associate, Joshua the son of Nun, about the
                               importance of God’s word as a recipe for good success.
                               “Only be strong and very courageous,” He said in Joshua
                               1:7-8, “that you may observe to do according to all the law
                               which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it
                               to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever
                               you go. This Book of the Law shall not depart from your
                               mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you
                               may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For
                               then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will
                               have good success.”
