       So, then, really it all comes down to the fact that, “the rules of the Lord are true, and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb,” as David said. Indeed, there is nothing in this world, no other book or even religion, which can bring us true life. The Bible is not just one of many books that is completely true. The Bible is the only book in the world which is completely true. God’s Word is the greatest word to be desired because of its complete truthfulness and refreshment of our souls. David would say elsewhere, in the most famous Psalm, that God restores our souls, and leads us in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake (see Psalm 23:3-4). How does God do this? How does he lead us? Well, he accomplishes his leading of us through his Word. When we read his Word, it refreshes and restores our souls. It shows, gives, and enables us, by the power of the Spirit of God, to follow his righteousness.
