Psalm 119:93 says, “I will never forget your precepts, For by them you have restored my life.” This psalm uses a variety of words for the Word of God. In this verse the word is “precepts”.

Are you ever in need of comfort and hope at times of troubles and afflictions? Then look to the Bible.

The world is filled with every kind of sinful pleasure and temptation and lifestyle. How can you keep from being misled into those sinful ways yourself?

By living according to God’s Word. It serves as a guide on how to live a pure, holy, God-pleasing life.
