Joy in the Word
I rejoice at Your word as one who finds great treasure.
Psalm 119:162
El Dorado was the name given by Spaniards in the sixteenth century to describe a mythical king of native people in Colombia, South America. The myth grew from referring to a man, to a city, to a kingdom, and finally to an empire of gold. Treasure hunters from England and Spain searched all over Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, and northern Brazil—and all came up sad and disappointed. There was no city or kingdom of golden treasures to be found.

Psalm 119:127
But there is a treasure of joy waiting to be discovered between the pages of Scripture—the treasure of God’s Word. Could anything be more valuable than a Book that answers mankind’s most important questions: Where did I come from? What is my purpose? What is right and wrong? What is my destiny? These questions, and more, have been the most important ever asked. In good times and bad, we can rejoice in knowing the answers to all of life’s biggest questions are ours for the reading.
The more we read and study God’s Word, the more we can rejoice and give thanks in all things (1 Thessalonians 5:18).
The more reverence we have for the word of God, the more joy we shall find in it. Matthew Henry
