Psa 119:111 | MHM | STEP | Delighting in God’s Word as an Eternal Heritage This section shows how the psalmist, with deep love, chooses to hold on to God’s word for his whole life. He finds true happiness and purpose in God’s promises, not in the things of this world. The psalmist is determined to let God’s word guide his actions and decisions, and he wants to obey God always, with a willing heart. v. 111 : The psalmist says, Thy testimonies have I taken as a heritage for ever, for they are the rejoicing of my heart (Psalm 119:111). He chooses God’s promises as his greatest treasure, more valuable than anything on earth. He looks for lasting happiness in God’s word, not in the things of this life (Psalm 17:14-15 ). God’s word is an eternal inheritance for all who belong to Him, as it is written, if children, then heirs (1 Peter 1:4 ). The psalmist finds joy in God’s promises now, because he knows they will be his forever. He is content with little from this world because he has chosen God’s word as his true portion.
