The Gift of God's Word

You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.—John 8:32

The longest chapter in the Bible is Psalm 119. I used to wonder why it was so long! Isn’t it just saying the same thing over and over again? Now I realize that 176 verses hardly seem long enough! I want to love the Word of God with the kind of passion and devotion of the psalmist. This month we will learn about the precious gift of God’s Word. I pray that through this study you will:

• Understand why God’s Word is inspired, infallible, and perfect
• Submit more wisely and joyfully to its authority
• Delight in how the Bible blesses and transforms us

Your devotional author,
