Is That Spam?

       My devotions have a different affect upon different mail handlers or Internet Providers.  I have recently had several devotions blocked by the company, "Comcast" and have determined that they are what we call, "Spam."    When you are my age, you remember what "Spam" was in the first place.  It was probably called that name as people wanted to make a connection with ham, but it wasn't of the same ingredient as real ham.   The uniform rectangular shape always gave it away.   So, they came close to the name and called it "Spam."  For many, it was a substitute for ham and not a very good one at that.  It has recently made a comeback and recipes for a dinner featuring Spam abound on the internet.   Psalm 119:9-11 says, " Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.  With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments.   Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee." 
       I get a quote a day from a source that sends out a famous quote Monday through Friday.  Famous authors, or some not so famous, make a statement that is sometimes worth remembering.  If you are famous, then more people want to remember what you said.  Douglas MacArthur made some famous statements that many people associate with his name.  The Word of God has many statements that make worthy quotes, such as, "I will come again."  "I can do all things Through Christ..."   "But my God shall supply all your need according to..."  The list could go on and on as we soon come to the conclusion that every word that God said is important.  Psalm 119 has 176 verses in it and all but five of them speak about God's Word in one way or another with such words as "commandment," "statutes," "testimonies" and so on.  The writer of this Psalm loved God's Word and we should do no less than that.  The world system will continually speak against God's Word.  Even as we say that, we are reminiscent of Second Timothy 3:16.  "All Scripture is inspired by God..."  Praise God today that we have the real and genuine Word of God as our guidance in both spiritual and physical things.  His Word will never fail us.
