GOD’S WONDROUS WORD

“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”
—Psalm 119:105

St. Augustine once wrote, “Our hearts are restless, until they can find rest in you.” The only thing that can satisfy the longing in our soul is the Word of God. So often we are discontented with our possessions and when we obtain more to satisfy the longing in our soul we quickly learn that the hunger continues. Why? Because the longing of man’s soul can only be satisfied by the Word of God. Scripture alone is the food for our soul. The Apostle Paul told the elders at Ephesus in Acts 20:32, “So now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.” The Word of God is what the believer lives by. Scripture alone brings joy, comfort, peace, and satisfaction to our soul.

The Word of God brings light to our pathway and illuminates the way before our feet in this dark world (Psalm 119:105). This sinful world is a stumbling block of darkness. We cannot look to the wisdom of this world to give us guidance because the wisdom of this world is “foolishness, earthly, sensual, and demonic” (1 Cor. 3:19; James 3:15). Only God’s Word is sufficient and dependable to guide us in this world. This doesn’t mean that we can’t turn to others for advice. The psalmist turned to his father, mother, and friends many times for counsel. But only when others give us counsel in accordance with the Word of God will their counsel be reliable, true, and worthy to be followed (Psalm 1).

Is your soul discontent? Do you have a longing that is never satisfied by the things of this world? Do you have troubles in your marriage or with your family? Do you struggle with certain sins in your life? The only solution is to feed on the Word of God. The Word of God is the only reliable and trustworthy guide that can give us the wisdom, strength, comfort, and hope we need to withstand the temptations we face in this life (Romans 15:4). That’s why the Psalmist wrote, “Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You” (Psalm 119:11). And again, “I have more understanding than all my teachers, for Your testimonies are my meditation” (Psalm 119:99). And once again, “and that from childhood you have known the Scriptures which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus” (2 Tim. 3:15). So, the question is, have you had your spiritual food today? Have you partaken of God’s spiritual bread of life? “This is my comfort in my affliction, for Your Word has given me life” (Psalm 119:50).
