“I will delight myself in Your statues; I will not forget Your word.” Modern evangelicals have had more full unhindered access to the word of God then any other generation in church history. We have thousands of new Bible translations, study Bibles and commentaries. Yet there has never been a lower reverence for the Scriptures. Men consider it nothing to buy a new Bible and throw away the old one. We have lost sight of what it means to have the Holy Scriptures in our possession.
Psalm 119:16
I delight in your decrees; I will not neglect your word.
Acts 13:44
On the next Sabbath almost the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord.
Nehemiah 8:9
Then Nehemiah the governor, Ezra the priest and teacher of the Law, and the Levites who were instructing the people said to them all, “This day is holy to the LORD your God. Do not mourn or weep.” For all the people had been weeping as they listened to the words of the Law.
