Ps. 119:87 [The Message]

Eugene Petersen givers the expression, “I haven’t relaxed my grip on your counsel.”

When I entered Basic Training in the army, I was given a pocket New Testament from the Gideons. I kept it in my green fatigue shirt pocket. It was a comfort to me. I was learning to keep my grip on God’s Word.

I just heard the account of a man who accepted Christ after reading a Gideon Bible in a motel room.

Memorizing His Word is a great way to keep your grip on His counsel.
