XMAS: Removing the Reason for the Season
The difference between the almost right word and the right word is really a large matter—’tis the difference between the lightning-bug and the lightning. — Mark Twain1
Longing for the Word
"My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I hope in thy word. Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?" (Psalm 119:81-82)
Understanding through the Word
"Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments." (Psalm 119:73)
Receiving from the Word
"Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according unto thy word." (Psalm 119:65)
The good that comes from the hand of the Lord is "according unto thy word," a common phrase in Psalm 119 that occurs in 11 of the 22 stanzas.
