Scripture to Meditate On

In the way of your testimonies I delight as much as in all riches. 

Psalms 119:14

Now this is one very striking statement. Do you think that the psalmist meant it? I think that we have to say that he did. Imagine that: to delight in, to revel in, to be enthralled by what the Scriptures have to say more than a very large bank account.
