I recently read a book written by Joyce Meyer titled "How to Age Without Getting Old". She is now 78 years old with no plans to retire from her worldwide ministry. She does tell in the book about readjusting some things:  do less of some things and enjoy the sights and sounds around us. Do we complain about the three things which don't work like they used to? Or do we celebrate the hundreds of things which still do?

In one chapter, she tells about the 'forty benefits that the Word of God provides us'. Nearly half come from Psalm 119:


* Those who order their conduct and conversation according to the Word are blessed (vs. 2)

* The Word cleanses and purifies us (vs. 9).

* The Word reduces the capacity to sin. It strengthens us against temptation (vs. 11).

* The Word revives and stimulates us (vs. 25).

* God's Word strengthens us (28).

* God's Word enables us to walk at liberty and at ease (vs. 45).

* God's Word comforts and consoles us.(vs. 50).

* God's Word is filled with promises to give us mercy and grace. (vs. 58).

* God's Word helps us see the error of our ways and turn in God's direction. (vs. 59).

* God's Word gives us good judgment, wise and right discernment, and knowledge (vs. 66).

* God's Word is better than thousands of gold and silver pieces (vs. 72).

* God's Word make me wiser than my enemies (vs.98).

* The Word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path (vs. 105).

* When we are afflicted, God's Word quickens us and gives us life (vs. 107).

* The entrance of God's Word brings light and dispels darkness (vs. 130).

* God's Word brings direction and shows us what to do (vs. 133).

* God's Word gives us great peace (vs. 165).
