Psalm 19:10 - Additional Comments

The words are God are to be desired more than anything of wealth, and more than any desirable food. Really, of anything that is desirable, the word of God is to be desired more than those things. It does allow for us to have some desire for those things, but it must be balanced with the desire for His word.
Tell me about your favorites foods, and what it's like to be in the same room with them. Tell me about your favorite hobby, and what it's like to have the opportunity to be there. Tell me about what it's like each day when you take God's word in your hands. Alas, sadly, for most of us, the desire does not compare. May God build in us this desire for His word, as we realize the true value of it. We are warned of trouble (vs 11) - how we should appreciate that. And, when we follow it (after study of it), we have great reward (vs 11) - if only we would really grasp this. It is so elusive. Yet, study and obedience of His word truly makes life great. If only we would really grasp this!!
