More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb.

(Psalm 19:10 – ESV)
Scripture contains everything necessary for our spiritual life. It is surer than any experience. It contains divine principles that are the best guide for us. It makes the thoughts of God clear not cloudy. It is perfect and therefore lasts forever. It is true and capable of producing righteousness. Scripture is infinitely more precious than anything this world has to offer. Psalm 19 is a clear testimony to the power of God’s Word.
