Title: Psalm 119 - Heth

Scripture: Psalm 119:57 – 64

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

→ What words of commitment coming from Heth.  To declare God as his portion, his inheritance, his wealth - can we say the same thing?  Do we consider God as the most precious part of our life?  Well Heth saw it that way and because God is his portion, he sought to obey His words.  To seek His face with all his heart, considering his ways and turned his steps to God's laws.  He did not want to delay; he wants to do it NOW!  Despite of oppositions, he remembers the law of the Lord and will give thanks to God for it.  Now I want to dissect this words of Heth.  Note that in his commitment to God's word, there is obedience and seeking of God.  Obedience is key but at the same time, consistent seeking of God's face is also a must in our daily lives.  The author also spoke of considering his ways so we can clearly say that this author has weigh both sides and found that obeying or choosing the path to God's law is the best path to take.  After rationalizing and understanding the value of taking God's words into heart and giving his commitment, we see the author choosing to be steadfast to his decision.  The author did not easily get swayed away because in the first place, he thought of things found that God's way is the most beneficial path for him - this happened during the seeking of God's face and his obedience to God's word.  So there's continuous seeking and obeying to God daily that's why when opposition comes, you will continually remember the word of the Lord and will continually thank God despite of the challenges you are in.  Thank You Lord for showing us Heth's process, which I believe has proven to be effective even in my life.

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, thank You for Heth's words today that encourages me to seek Your face daily and choose to obey Your words day by day.  Help me Lord not to delay but act accordingly and remind me to do it because at times I am naive that i am procrastinating.  Give me wisdom Lord that I may always value Your words as my wealth and inheritance and portion.  In Jesus' Name, Amen!
