Psalm 119:72 The Law of Thy Mouth

Psalm 119:72 (KJV) The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver.

The wisdom of God is superior to thousands of gold and silver. Gold and silver is the man of this world’s valuation of the material universe, the depraved human trait of covetousness which is idolatry. Let the man of God choose God and His eternal ways rather that gold, the temporal god of this world.

What everything fails, the LORD does not fail. Human systems will fail and can fail because they are depraved and corrupt. God did not leave men without help out of His depravity. Our Lord Jesus came upon earth, entered human history, to reverse the curse (the last word of the Old Testament), when He opened His mouth to give the way of eternal blessing, taught men the way out of his base wisdom that damns him, spoke authoritatively, “Blessed are the poor in spirit, theirs is the kingdom of heaven”.

May the law of His mouth, the Bible, be the meditation of our hearts and the undergirding strength of our hands and feet. Amen.
