Psalm 119:86 “All your commands are trustworthy; help me, for I am being persecuted without cause.” Wouldn’t it seem that the best and most obedient Christians would suffer the least? Obey, follow God’s Word, study His truths, act as His precious child always and life on earth will be Heaven on earth. The truth is: our thinking is not God’s thinking. In God’s thinking suffering results in glorious hope. As a Christian expect abuse and suffering. All of Jesus’ disciples did (the eleven) and we can learn from them.

Psalm 119:81 “My soul faints with longing for your salvation, but I have put my hope in your word.: True living means walking with your Savior at your side. Jesus gives you both purpose and comfort while you experience all the trials of this world. Remove that purpose and comfort and all hope is lost. Life becomes a temporary series of temporary pleasures and fulfillment never happens. Addiction to the pleasures of this world is meaningless while an addiction to our Savior and His Word gives us eternal life and a hope with phenomenal rewards. We praise our loving Savior.

Psalm 119:76 “May your unfailing love be my comfort, according to your promise to your servant.” Unfailing love-comfort-promise=3 words which make our lives complete. With these 3 words we live lives of joy and peace. To know God, to have a tight relationship with Him, to be His child is the best position one could possibly be in. We can only thank Him with all of our heart.

Psalm 119:73 “Your hands made me and formed me’ give me understanding to learn you commands.” Most people would say every human began when a sperm and egg met and the female became pregnant. God does say, well, that’s true, but do you know what else happened? I formed you. Faith accepts and loves that truth. That truth makes you formed with purpose and love. What an honor and marvel it is to be a child of God. Amazing–you were formed by God! That truth certainly makes you special-God formed you in your mother’s womb. Really? Yes, really!

Psalm 119:72 “The law from your mouth is more precious to me than thousands of pieces of silver and gold.” How valuable is your retirement account? Well, without it, how would I survive you might ask. How valuable is God’s Word to you? Well, without it, how would I survive you might ask. One question concerns Earthly, temporal living while the second questions concerns Heavenly, eternal living. Both questions are important, however; one of these questions is by far more valuable than the other. Which is it? Your heart daily is answering the question. Have a great weekend.

Psalm 119:68 “You are good, and what you do is good; teach me your decrees.” This prayer of our Psalmist is also your and my prayer. Very simply stated–God is good–Good is simply one descriptive word of which there could be many. Beyond this we pray for God to continually teach and that we have the attitude to continually learning. Could we have a more wonderful God?

Psalm 119:66 “Teach me knowledge and good judgement, for I trust your commands.” Our Psalmist never prayed meaningless prayers. When he talked with God he was sincere, he prayed from his heart and he expected God would answer however God felt would be best. The same applies to you and me. It is impossible to make demands of God. Always we pray–Your will be done. Our God, the author of love, hears and answers. Have confidence in that truth.

Psalm 119:61 “Though the wicked bind me with ropes, I will not forget your law.” What would it take for you or me to deny our God? Torture? Starvation? Deny water? Humiliation? Being tied up and left to die?Being shot by a firing squad? All of these methods have been done and are being done. Brave and faithful men and women are staying strong in their loyalty to their Heavenly Father. We pray that God give each of us such a faith.

God is blessing you and me today–how wonderfully we are blessed today!

Psalm 119:59 “I have considered my ways and have turned my steps to your statues.” Have you ever looked in the mirror? I’m not writing about the mirror in the bathroom or in the bedroom. What mirror then? The mirror in your heart. The mirror which truly identifies who you are. The mirror which reflects who you and I truly am. When we do that do we see what God and we would be proud of? If it is–great! If not-pray for change! The mirror of your heart determines your and my eternity! Have a great weekend.

Psalm 119:58 “I have sought your face with all my heart; be gracious to me according to your promise.” The relationship we have with our God is great. His great love for us is beyond measure and because of that great love for us we follow His example and do the best we can in our love for Him. What a fantastic relationship we enjoy.

Psalm 119:50 “My comfort in my suffering is this: your promise preserves my life.” Because of sin both you and I suffer the consequences. Life on earth is filled with struggles. Because of the life, death and resurrection of our Savior you and I live in peace at the same time we struggle. To enjoy being loved by our Almighty God is the pheromonal blessing we can all enjoy. Trust and be faithful to our loving Heavenly Father.
