Psalms 119:129. Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them.
Every true believer admires God’s Word; and, more than that, it amazes him: "Thy testimonies are wonderful." View them from any point you may select, they are wonderful, wonderful in themselves, wonderful in their operation, wonderful in the way in which they endure all kinds of testing, and yet remain the same: "Thy testimonies are wonderful." This wonder, however, in the true believer leads to godly practice, to holy living: "Therefore doth my soul keep them." Our soul must be like a golden gasket in which we store the priceless jewels of the Word of the Lord. You cannot rightly keep God’s Word anywhere but in your soul; to keep it merely in the memory, or in the intellect, is of no avail.
