A Heart at Rest

Listen from:
One boy we know goes to sleep at night with his New Testament under his pillow. When he wakes in the morning his first act is to read a portion from the Word. Surely such time is well spent. The Word of God is unlike any other book, it is the living Word. The more we read it the dearer it becomes, if we seek to walk in the light it sheds along our pathway. King David of old wrote: “The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes... More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward” (Psa. 19:8-118The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. 9The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. 10More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. 11Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward. (Psalm 19:8‑11)).
