Loving God's Word 2

Lesson 1 of 8 January 29, 2018

The class opened with a personal story about a brother’s mission trip to Cameroon and an encouraging exchange with a fellow minister, emphasizing that God places each person exactly where He wants them to be. The teacher used this illustration to segue into a study of Jabez’s prayer (1 Chronicles 4:10) as a model of seeking God’s blessing and expanded territory. Turning to Psalm 119, the teacher guided the group through verses 97, 103, 105, and 127, explaining how David’s love for the law reflects a deep, lifelong meditation on God’s Word. By describing Scripture as sweeter than honey, a lamp for our feet, and more precious than gold, the teacher highlighted the practical benefits—wisdom, protection from evil, and spiritual insight—that come from cherishing God’s commandments. The class concluded that loving God’s Word, like David, leads to a heart that stores divine truths and experiences the blessings of God’s guidance daily.

Psalm 119:103

how sweet are your words to my taste. Yes, sweeter than honey to my mouth

Psalm 119:105

Thy word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path

Psalm 119:127

Therefore, I love thy commandments above gold. Yes, above fine gold
