Psalms 19:10. More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold:
Or, the very best gold. No riches can so enrich the mind and heart as the Word of God does. A man may have tons of gold, and yet be utterly miserable; but he who is pure in heart, he who hath God’s Word and the love of it in his heart, is truly rich, however poor he may be in temporal things.
Psalms 19:10. Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
As I read those six poetic lines in praise of the Word of God, I could not help thinking how the bees build their honeycombs in hexagons of six-sided combs, all full of honey. Such is this portion of the Word of God with its hexagons of commendation, every part of which is fall of sweetness to the true believer.
