Psalm 119:140 “Your promises have been thoroughly tested, and your servant loves them.” God promised Adam and Eve a Savior. God promised Abraham and Sarah a child in their old age. God promised to set a rainbow in the sky as a reminder. God made kept promises after the Babylonian captivity. God has made many promises and has kept them all. God has promised to bring the faithful to Himself in Heaven. God has promised to be with you and me and He is. Because of God’s promises you and I live in peace What a blessing!

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 119:125 “I am your servant; give me discernment that I may understand your statutes.” As servants, as followers, as children, as adopted, as recipients of His perfect love for us each of us we want to live a life of understanding realizing perfect wisdom and perfect peace is only found walking by the side of our Heavenly Father. In life, in death and throughout eternity each of us cherishes, for the present and for the future the tight relationship we enjoy being embraced by our God.

Psalm 119:114 “You are my refuge and my shield; I have put my hope in your word.” There is never a time in our lives when we are alone. There is never a time in our lives when we are not protected. There is never a time in our lives when we cannot confidently trust in the loving protection and guidance offered freely from our Heavenly Father. Our earthly lives and our salvation is secure. Another wonderful blessing from our wonderful God.

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.

Psalm 119:97 “To all perfection I see a limit; but your commands are boundless.” Human mentality, no matter how ambitious, has limitations. All that man perceives has boundaries because it is impossible for humans to become god. We do, however, join and live with God who has no boundaries and no limitations. I cannot think of the slightest reason to not be as close as possible to our Omni God.

Psalm 119:91 “Your laws endure to this day, for all things serve you.” There is nothing on this earth that doesn’t belong to God. God is the owner of everything. You and I often fool ourselves into thinking our possessions are our own, but they are only gifts belonging to our Creator. Our talents are even gifts for us to use and develop for the purpose of serving and giving glory to our Savior. This mentality is totally foreign to those who do not have a relationship with their Heavenly Father, but for those who do have a firm relationship with God, they are understood and cherished. We pray for such an understanding.

Psalm 119:90 “Your faithfulness continues through all generations; you established the earth, and it endures.” How wonderful it is to know that the love, concern, peace and hope which you and I enjoy solely because of the love our Almighty God has for you and me is a gift which your children, grandchildren, greatgrandchildren and others to follow will also be able to experience and enjoy. God’s faithfulness, sacrificial and unfailing love is true today and will be forever.

Psalm 119:89 “Your word, O Lord, is eternal; it stands firm in the heavens.” To whom else’s word or discussion or presentation or thought can we state the above verse applies? There is no one. Each of us, in all our knowledge, experience, technology, education or any intellect comes close to even understanding the glory of God. We all fall short of our magnificent God. That truth is what makes His love for us and His sending His Son to redeem us so outstanding. What a phenomenal God we love in return.

Psalm 119:81 “My soul faints with longing for your salvation, but I have put my hope in your word.” God’s words are absolute truths. Our confidence in His truths is with absolute certainty. You and I are not used to those two statements. Nothing on this earth is absolute. Real estate prices can plunge or rise. The same is true of all investments including with supposed maximum security assets. Even life and health is an unknown. Our God does not want you or me to feel insecure in regard to our relationship with Him. He wants that relationship to be as tight as tight gets. You and I pray for such confidence. Have a great weekend.
