Title: Psalm 119 - He

Scripture: Psalm 119:33 –40

God’s Message / God’s Promise / God’s Commands:

→ What beautiful words to internalize this morning.  The author clearly knew the importance of knowing God's words and his limitation as a human to understand it.  He prayed to God to teach him His ways so he may follow it to the end.  This author understands the importance of obeying a law that he understands so he can continually obey it until the end.  Many of us fail to obey the rules because either we don't understand it or we do not see its relevance.  Well, this author doesn't want to ever have that reason, so he asked God to teach him His ways, to give him understanding of His law, to direct him in the path of His commands, to turn his heart towards his statutes, and turn his eyes away from worthless things.  It is possible that this man/woman is intelligent.  He is not one who follows blindly and in this chapter, it tells me that God doesn't want us to follow Him blindly too.  That's why this chapter was written.  God wants us to have understanding of His law so we may obey it until the end.  And so today, we ought to ask Him the same.  Let's ask God to teach us His ways, to give us understanding of His law, to direct us in the path of His commands, to turn our hearts toward His statutes and turn our eyes away from worthless things.  Let us understand and see the value of God's words and be amazed of how He fulfills them one by one.

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, thank You for a wonderful message!  I marvel to the fact that You know me deeply and You know my struggles or challenges and You find a way to address them even without me asking.  Lord thank You because You know my heart and my whole being.  Help me Lord to see and fully understand the value of Your word.  I want to faithfully obey them but at times without good understanding I fail.  I want to consistently fear You and follow Your law because it was given for a reason and that reason is for my own benefit and survival.  Help me Lord to have the same desire as this author had in following Your word, every detail of it.  Give me the wisdom and strength to be steadfast in doing what is right.  In Jesus' Name, Amen!
