If you put the Word of God first in your life, you will have something to sing about (vv. 171, 172, 175). Spontaneously, you will find yourself singing God’s Word and turning statutes into songs (v. 54)! When your heart delights in God’s law (v. 174), your lips must declare God’s praise (Matt. 12:34). After all, you talk about the things that you love. When God’s Word fills your heart, the right words will come out of your mouth (Col. 3:16; 4:6).
Honor His Word
You have been thinking about what the Word of God will do for you if you allow it to work in your life. Now it is time to discover what you must do with God’s Word. You must do more than simply read it, although that is necessary. You should also love it (v. 97), treasure it (v. 72), learn it (vv. 26–27), memorize it (v. 11), meditate on it (v. 15), believe it (v. 42), and practice it (vv. 1–4). The way you treat your Bible is the way you treat your Lord, for it is His Word to your heart.
