Your testimonies are wonderful; therefore my soul keeps them. The unfolding of your words gives light; it imparts understanding to the simple. I open my mouth and pant, because I long for your commandments. Turn to me and be gracious to me, as is your way with those who love your name. Keep steady my steps according to your promise, and let no iniquity get dominion over me. Redeem me from man's oppression, that I may keep your precepts. Make your face shine upon your servant, and teach me your statutes. My eyes shed streams of tears, because people do not keep your law.

Lord, You have infused me with a love and passion for Your Word. You have filled me with an indescribable joy when I come to the time allocated to the reading of Your Word each morning. You make my heart skip with anticipation whenever that opportunity arises to share Your Word with someone else. Praise You, my Lord and Master. Continue to reveal Yourself through the reading and study of Your Word.
