O How I Love Thy Law
Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Psalm 119:97-104. This portion of Scripture from Psalm 119 starts with MEM, the thirteenth letter of the Hebrew alphabet. MEM represents the letter M, but looks similar to the English letter N. MEM’s numerical value is 40, and is said to represent water.
The Psalmist declares his love for the law of God and says he meditates on it all day. Because of his love and study of the commandments of the LORD, he has become wiser than his enemies. He has obtained more wisdom and knowledge than all of his teachers, because his meditation is on the testimonies of the LORD.
He has more understanding than the ancient men of old, because he not only studies the precepts of God, but obeys them as well. He has kept away from every evil way and hasn’t departed from the judgments God has taught him. Through studying and meditating on the precepts of the LORD he has gained understanding, so he hates every false teaching. He knows the truth and it has set him free from evil.

100 I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.
101 I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word.
102 I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me.
103 How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!

Psalm 119: Thy Word is a Lamp unto My Feet is a Daily Bible Reading Study by Deborah H. Bateman. Psalm 119 is in the center of the Bible and is the longest chapter in the Bible. Psalm 119 is about the importance of God’s Word in the life of the Psalmist and in your life as well.
Psalm 119 is broken up into twenty-two stanzas of eight verses each so Deborah crated twenty-two short daily devotional lessons which can be used for personal daily devotions or group Bible studies.
