The Nail

We started our study of the Hebrew letter Vav this week; which means The Nail. Just like a nail that secures things together, we can rest assure by the name of Jesus, our salvation for eternal life with the Father is secured forever!

The letter Vav is used in the Hebrew words for: And, To Rest (as at home), Lust, To Bind Together.

Psalm 119:41-48
Let Your mercies come also to me, O LORD—
Your salvation according to Your word.
So shall I have an answer for him who reproaches me,
For I trust in Your word.
And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth,
For I have hoped in Your ordinances.
So shall I keep Your law continually,
Forever and ever.
And I will walk at liberty,
For I seek Your precepts.
I will speak of Your testimonies also before kings,
And will not be ashamed.
And I will delight myself in Your commandments,
Which I love.
My hands also I will lift up to Your commandments,
Which I love,
And I will meditate on Your statutes.

Each of the verses in the sixth stanza of Psalm 119 starts with the letter Vav. Because the letter Vav is the nail that secures, these eight verses tell us that the security of God's word and lovingkindness will give us an answer to reproach and will allow us to walk in liberty. That is why we should delight and love God's commandments.
