We have, in our hands, what everyone is searching for:

The law of the Lord is perfect, restoring the soul;

The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.

The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart;

The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.

The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever;

The judgments of the Lord are true; they are righteous altogether.

Perfect, sure, right, pure, clean, true--restoring, making wise, rejoicing, enlightening, enduring, righteous.

Can anyone read these words without a thrill of longing?  All of humanity is searching for these things as they wander--unsettled, anxious, confused, empty, lonely.  Some would give anything to know where to find the solid, true, wise words that could bring them peace.

We have them.  God's words.  And through them He pours out life and draws us close.  Remember your first taste, eagerly taken as you stepped out of a starved life, and then seek them with as much hunger as you did then. 

They are more desirable than gold, yes, than much fine gold;

Sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb.

Moreover, by them Your servant is warned;

In keeping them there is great reward.
