Teth – The Ninth Letter in the Hebrew Alphabet
Your instructions are more valuable to me than millions in gold and silver.
(Psalms 119:72)
In this section of our Psalm, the writer begins to talk about how valuable the Word of the Lord has been to him. As I began thinking about this section, specifically about Verse 72, I caused this question to rise in my mind: “How valuable is the Word of God to you?” Another way to put it would be to ask, “How much is your Bible worth?”
Now, I want you to think about this, because how YOU might answer that question initially may be quite different from the truth. So, let me ask you a couple of other questions to help you out…
1. What is the most valuable thing you own?
2. If time and attention were the “tell tale signs”, what would they indicate is thepossession that is most important to you?
3. If we asked your family, how valuable would they say your Bible is to you?
4. If we asked your family, what things would they say are worth more to you than your Bible?
Think about these questions for a little while, and then look at the Psalmist. He says the Word of God was worth more than MILLIONS in GOLD and SILVER. That is pretty intense. There is a lot you can do with millions. Can you honestly repeat the sentiment of the psalmist? Does it show?
