Psalm 116

Psalm 116

(Read Psalm 116)

Precious things are important to us jewels, gold and silver, for some their car for others their football team, to others it may be their hobbies and to some it will be their families. To some the precious things may not be valuable in a monetary sense but great emphasis is placed on sentimental items.

It may be a surprise to some but God too has something he considers precious. Lamentations 4:2 and Isaiah 43:4 It is quite clear that God regards those that are in a relationship with him. He considers them as precious, so much so that Jesus indicates that something done to one who is His, is as if he does that to Him.

God is touched also by our infirmity and finds, even in death, something precious as this Psalm reminds us. Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his Godly ones.
