Psalms 119

I was amazed when I found an article about Studying the Scriptures which says:
"All but three verses in Psalm 119 contain a reference to the Word of God (variously referred to as God's laws, decrees, precepts, promises, testimonies, statutes, judgments, ordinances, commands, and words). Read this psalm and record your observations of the beneficial effects of the Scriptures in cultivating a relationship with God."

I tried reading it again and it is true that the whole Psalm 119 mentions alot on the beneficial effects of the scriptures, some direct and some inferred. It was a refreshing and fun time reading it. Previously I would get bored reading it because it is the longest chapter in the bible with 176 verses. I read it a few times but it never occur to me that all the verses are talking about the benefits of the scriptures.

You can try reading on your own and challenge each other to see who can find the most no. of different beneficial effects of the scriptures. I remembered what Pastor Jeff said on sunday that you need to research on the scripture, review it and remember it to get the most out of it but most importantly, we should be doer of the Word. So after knowing the benefits of reading and meditating on the scripture, we got to ACT upon what was learnt.
