Therefore" in the Book of Psalms: Therefore I Keep Your Word

 

"Your testimonies are wonderful; therefore my soul keeps them." - Psalm 119:129

Admiration of God's Word naturally leads to obedience. A person who has experienced the wonder of God's Word cannot help but keep it; the one who recognizes this treasure desires to keep it. God's Word is wonderful with all its commandments, promises, and revelations. It is wonderful in its holiness, simplicity, depth, wisdom, and power. It renews the soul, sanctifies, comforts, strengthens, instructs, and teaches us.

The psalmist saw that God's Word is wonderful, therefore he keeps it. It is impossible to admire God's Word and not obey it.

Lord, open my eyes to see the hidden treasures in Your Word, to admire them, and to obey Your Word.
