I was reading Psalm 119 this morning. Longest chapter in the Bible, covering 176 verses. This psalm contains the profound truth that the Word of God is all sufficient. Common words are the Lord’s commands, precepts, statutes, decrees, judgments, and instructions.
Psalm 119 reminds us that God’s Word reflects the very character of God Himself. God’s attributes of righteousness, trustworthiness, truthfulness, faithfulness, unchangeableness, eternality, light, and holiness are also on display.
As I was reading, I halted at the section contained in verses 33-40. Then I began to pray through that section.
Vs33: Teach me, LORD, the meaning of Your statues …
Vs34: Help me understand Your instruction …
Vs35: Help me stay on the path of Your commands …
Vs36: Turn my heart to Your decrees …
Vs37: Turn my eyes from looking at what is worthless …
Vs38: Confirm what You said to Your servant …
Vs39: Turn away the disgrace I dread …
Vs40: Give me life through Your righteousness …
As you read through (pray through) that small section, you will notice that for almost every one of those prayers, there is to be a corresponding reaction in our hearts.
Pray this passage with me today … I think you will be blessed. Amen!
