God’s Word is God breathed. It breathes life, power, strength, wisdom/knowledge, salvation into our life’s. Just like your prayer, “breathe life into us in our wariness, worry, and everything else that might come upon us.” God’s Word provides us so much, including being a balm for our souls. It teaches us, encourages us, and empowers us to be God’s ambassadors. David’s detailed description of God’s statues, decrees, promises in this Psalm, encourages me to get deeper and deeper into God’s Word. I can relate more and more to the proclamation of gratitude of God’s Word, as well as David’s when he says, “I will praise you seven times a day because all your regulations are just.” Psalms‬ ‭119‬:‭164‬ “Abba God! Thank You for leaving the legacy of Your Word for us to learn more about You and Your ways in which we can emulate. I, like David, want to praise You seven times a day for Your provision of Your Word! Your words of instruction are precious to us. We hunger and thirst for them daily. Plant them permanently on our hearts and tongues so we can be ambassadors for You and proclaim Your glory! In Jesus’ name.”

A number of  years ago, I had a missionary mom who was serving with her husband in Nairobi, Kenya. She was talking to a group of young children about Revelation 21. In our country we can relate to the description of streets of pure gold. But how do you describe gold as valuable to someone who has never seen it? She took off her necklace and tried to explain the best way she could. Then one of the children asked, “What is a street?” This made the missionary cry when she realized how much she had and that all the children wanted to know was what a street is. Today I am again reminded that the Lord has put me here for a purpose and that is to share the Good News of who Jesus is and what He has done for me. I sit in a office that would be considered heaven to 3/4 of the world. It’s time for me to not look at what I don’t have and to thank the Lord for the opportunity to share what I do have. Hebrews 6:10 “For God is not unjust. He will not forget how hard you have worked
