Precious than gold: The Word of God is more precious than gold according to King David. (Psalms 19:10) Those who search the Scripture will find the Messiah, Son of God. (John 5:39) A Blessed, prosperous and fruitful person is one who meditates the Bible Day and night. (Psalms 1:1-3) The Bible is WWW. It provides God’s written Word (God wrote the Ten Commandments), the Work & Worth of God (to know Him and Worship Him), and the Will of God (knowing life’s purpose and God’s requirements).
