God's Guidance

“Your testimonies also are my delight; they are my counselors” (Psalm 119:24).  This verse gives us one important reason we should love God’s word.  The guidance and counsel found in God’s word is sufficient to meet every need and condition the Christian will ever experience in this life.  Our great ambition should be to please the Lord in all that we do, whether by life of by death.  We should make it our business to have God’s approval in our every action, because the fruitfulness and success of our actions depend on His blessing.  Because of the fallen sinful nature, people cannot govern themselves rightly.  Selfish desires dominate all the actions of those who live without reference to God.  His counsel and direction are indispensable.  The Scriptures are the counsel of God, sent to remedy the miseries of the fall.  We need as much motivation to read the Bible as we can get!  We need to multiply reasons to read it, and this is one of them.  We must delight in it and seek its counsel daily.
