BENEFITS FROM READING SCRIPTURE

There are many benefits from reading the Scriptures diligently. The psalmist bears testimony of how he was blessed as he read the Scriptures.

49 Remember the word to Your servant,
Upon which You have caused me to hope.

50 This is my comfort in my affliction,
For Your word has given me life.

54 Your statutes have been my songs
In the house of my pilgrimage.

55 I remember Your name in the night, O Lord,
And I keep Your law.

56 This has become mine,
Because I kept Your precepts.     Psalm 119:49-50, 54-56
