The psalmist provides an outline for how the Bible can work in your life. The Bible will restore your soul. The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul. The Bible will renew your mind. The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. The Bible will rejoice your heart. The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart. The Bible will refocus your vision. The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. The Bible will reinforce your life. The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever. The Bible will replace your doubts. The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. The Bible will reorder your values. More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. The Bible will redirect your path. Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward. Don’t just read this book as a textbook or put it on your shelf. Make it part of your life. David Jeremiah ’63 is Senior Pastor of Shadow Mountain Community Church, an evangelical megachurch in El Cajon, California, and host of the popular Turning Point radio program. He has authored numerous books and devotionals. Jeremiah’s chapel message mirrored comments he made when the Jeremiah Study Bible was unveiled at a worship celebration in New York City in December.
