God’s Word is unique

Psalm 119:16 “I delight in your decrees; I will not neglect your word.” This passage is quite all inclusive.  Not only will we enjoy His Word, we will also enjoy studying His Word.  Do you find yourself enjoying the time you spend reading the Bible?  Enjoying the time you go to church?  Enjoying certain on line presentations? Enjoying the time you meet with others and discussing the meaning of certain Scriptures?  What a pleasure it is to learn more about our Almighty God.

Teach and learn

Psalm 119:12 “Praise be to you, Lord; teach me your decrees.” Have you, in your prayers, ever said to God–don’t bother teaching me because I know everything!  Only a fool would even think such a thought.  Our prayer is rather–teach me because I know almost nothing!  All of us humbly ask God to teach us as we humbly listen, learn and apply.  Studying His Word is just what we as His faithful children do.

A prayer

Psalm 119:10 “I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands.” Every morning and all day long we have to have the thought of this verse on our lips.  Without that constant thought we certainly will leave our Heavenly Father and that is the last thing we would ever want to do.  Notice the word “all” in this verse.  We want to be controlled by our Savior always.  That is our prayer for today.

A prayer

Psalm 119:5 “Oh, that my ways were steadfast in obeying your decrees!” It often seems our lives are just the opposite of this prayer.  We easily recognize we need our Savior at our side constantly as He guides each of us through life.  We all need His presence.  Therefore, we constantly pray and study His Word.  We constantly pray for His guidance, presence and support.

live a goal and be blessed

Psalm 119:2 “Blessed are those who keep his statutes and seek him with all their heart–” To be blessed by God is really the desire of everyone even though many do not realize how those blessings could come.  God simply says–follow Me with all your heart and I will bless you.  Therefore, those who follow the true God with all their heart are blessed.  It seems to me that to be faithful to God is the only wise way to live. Have a great weekend.

Rejection

Psalm 118:22 “The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone;” There will come a time when all–those who have lived in the past, those who are presently living and those who will live in the future will recognize Jesus is the Savior of all of mankind.  Unfortunately for many, that realization will be too late.  Jesus and the salvation He brings has sadly been rejected.  We, as Christians, humbly can only thank our Savior for His great love and redemption.
