Psalms 119:167
“My soul has observed your testimonies. I love them exceedingly.”
What does Psalms 119:167 mean?
The psalmist here is describing what happens when you really pay attention to God's word, not just read it in passing. When someone genuinely observes, studies, and reflects on Scripture, something shifts inside, and love for it naturally grows. That exceedingly strong affection isn't forced or commanded, it becomes real through engagement. It's like the difference between knowing about someone and actually getting to know them, the heart follows where attention goes. If you're in a season where faith feels dry, this verse gently suggests that leaning in closer to Scripture, taking time to truly notice it, often reignites that spark.
