Psalm 119:171 “May my lips overflow with praise, for you teach me your decrees.” Our magnificent God is the absolutely best teacher. If you and I follow His instruction we live very good lives. When we do follow His instruction we do live very good lives. When we fail we suffer the consequences. The words which should be continually on our lips are—God, teach me Your will and help me live accordingly.

Psalm 119:162 “May my cry come before you, O Lord; give me understanding according to your word.” Many daily discussions, disagreements, opinions etc. could easily be resolved if God’s Word would be used as the authority.

Have a great weekend.

Psalm 119:144 “Your statutes are forever right; give me understanding that I may live.” There is, never has been and never will be a need to rewrite the Bible. All of its truths endure perpetually. All of its words, principles and guidance have stood without question for centuries. Because some have not or do not realize the absolute truths found in Scripture has no effect on their validity. We praise God for His absolute and perpetual truths.

Psalm 119:133 “Direct my footsteps according to your word, let no sin rule over me.” Notice that in this passage as well as throughout God’s Bible, God never says to worship Him according to what any religious denomination determines. He wants us to read and study His Word for that is where we will find absolute Truth None of us will enjoy the comfort He provides while living on this earth or live forever in eternity based on the beliefs and writings of any earthly denomination. Our contented lives both on this earth and eternally is totally dependent on our personal faith and relationship we enjoy with our Heavenly Father.

Psalm 119:132 “Turn to me and have mercy on me, as you always do to those who love your name.” When you think of a person’s name you immediately think of qualities that are unique to that person. When you hear or say the name Jesus you think of His great love for all of mankind. As soon as Adam and Eve sinned the name of Jesus meant an overwhelming love and mercy which can be applied to no other name. What a wonderful name! Jesus!

Psalm 119:105 “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” You and I cannot see without light. Without light we would wonder in chaos. We would be continually injuring ourselves and have to endure the frustration of never knowing either where we have been or where we are going. Without Jesus we would wonder on this earth with no light or knowledge of truth. Fortunately, we have bright light and we live with direction and purpose. All and only because we know our Savior. What a blessing!

Psalm 119:103 “How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth.” Usually treats are given when some task is performed successfully. Treats are not continually given or they are no longer treats. God does not think like that. He gives each of us treats continually. Like sweet honey we can read and study His Word and receive the sweet thoughts of absolute truth whenever we open the Bible. What a wonderful privilege to be treated with His sweetness, like honey, continually. Enjoy the treats! Have a great weekend.
