The Beauty of Psalm 119.

As a child, I was enamored with Michael Jackson from the first day I watched the Billie Jean video. Till today, people never knew why. My mother taught me to love The Bible and I read and fell in love with Psalm 119:105 “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path”. Watching Michael Jackson step on the floor and seeing it light up as it did in the Billie Jean video evoked that psalm in my mind. It was a strong visual reminder for me of the power of God’s Word. Psalm 119 is such a powerful psalm. It is my favorite Psalm. For instance, verse 130 of Psalm 119 says “The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple”. In the darkest moments of my life, The Word of God has helped me to overcome just like a lighthouse guides a ship to land on a very dark and turbulent night at sea.
