More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb.
Psalm 19:10
Jackie Gleason, the departed great comedian and TV star, used to say this expression which he became famous for: How sweet it is! How truly sweet God's Word is! That is what this verse is referring to when its says: "more to be desired are they." The teaching, the testimony, the precepts of the Lord, they are clean, endure forever, they are altogether true, this Psalm 19 proclaims!
They are a far better investment than even pure gold. We are bombarded these days with TV commercials encouraging us to put some of our investments in gold since it is attributed to have one of the best returns over the long haul. Then how much more return for eternity is there for us who invest in God's Word, in His precious Law and Gospel which tells us of our sin problem and our Salvation in believing Christ's pure and perfect sacrificial death and resurrection solves this problem?
It is the most valuable investment and possession we have or could have! It is truth! It is life! It is eternal truth and life!
Grow in this God-given investment by getting into His Word today at a church that teaches it rightly and purely. It is sweeter to your soul than even the drippings of the honeycomb.
Pastor Zwonitzer!
