Psalms 119:16
I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word.

The psalmist recognizes the value of God's commands, knowing that they are a source of wisdom, strength, and guidance. Forgetting God's Word is not simply about forgetting information; it’s about losing touch with the source of life and truth. This verse challenges us to make a conscious decision to remember and delight in God’s statutes, allowing them to guide our every action. When we make God’s Word a part of our daily lives, we align ourselves with His will, and our hearts are transformed by His truth.
