"The precepts of the Lord are right, bringing joy to the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes." Psalm 19:8
Human laws are flawed and are still subject to change and reform. However, the Law of my Lord remains forever, irrelevant of the times, fitting perfectly into any era. It was published so that life would be happy and joyful. It is pure and Holy and opens our eyes to see the greatness of God.

Meditation
Many of the followers of this page are curious to know the correct way to read the Bible.
When I experienced the New Birth, a hunger and a thirst to know His thoughts and His will was also born in me. I was determined to read His Word from cover to cover. Everyday I read two chapters from the Old Testament and one from the New Testament; I always started on the first day of the year and I repeated this for several years - and I still do. I like reading Psalms and Proverbs also because they helped me to build my character and to understand others.
However, the reading itself is not the most important thing but rather the MEDITATION of the Word. It was only by meditating on the Word of God that I was able to live my life according to His voice.
"The Law of the Lord is perfect, restoring the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple." Psalm 19: 7
I learnt to love Him, in the knowledge that He loved me first - although I didn't deserve it. No one understands me like He does; He knows me so well. He knows my thoughts; He never fails; He fills my whole being with His presence; He gave me the assurance of my salvation; He sacrificed His Son for me. It's a Love that is second to none!
