Promises

We’re doing a ladies’ Bible study called, “Sweeter than Chocolate, an inductive study of Psalm 119.” Verse 103 says, “How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!” In the 21st century, we can say that God’s word is sweeter than chocolate.

"All of your promises won’t let go of me" – from a great song by Desperation Band



So far, in the first 40 verses of Psalm 119, here are some of the benefits of God’s Word:

blessing

no wrong-doing

no shame

purity

rejoicing

treasure

great riches

delight

God’s goodness

open eyes

seeing wonders

no scorn or contempt

wise counsel

my life preserved

God hears me

God teaches me

conversation with God

strength

grace

freedom

steadfastness/endurance

understanding

right living

relationship with God

revival / vigorous life / health

walking in God’s ways

God’s word established in me

His promises fulfilled

reverence / worship of God

no reproach

good judgments from God

renewed life / revival

To what extent am I experiencing these things? It’s about God’s word. To the extent that I immerse myself in His word, to the extent that I hear the word, see the word, dream the word, think the word, believe it, pray it, speak it, follow it, cling to it, study it, meditate on it, walk in it, do it, and live it! This is how all these promises won’t let go of me. Let’s find more – Psalm 119 verse 41 . . .
