Psalm 119:76 “May your unfailing love be my comfort, according to your promise to your servant.” God is perfect. God never fails. God never breaks a promise. Living with God at your side is like nothing else. The comfort and peace He provides is found nowhere else. And the most beautiful truth: His love is both without change and is eternal. God’s love is unfailing.

Psalm 119:73 “Your hands made me and formed me; give me understanding to learn your commands.” This passage is one of many which credit God for creating or forming every single person which, of course, includes you and me. God formed you. You are not just the result of a sexual act of mother nature. Much of the world removes this thought and distortedly disallows our God’s involvement. That mentality discredits both God and His Bible. That mentality exposes man’s wretched ability to follow many Old Testament families who not only sacrificed their children but did such horrible things to them that I will not write it here—look up the facts yourself and you will be horrified.

Psalm 119:54 “The earth is filled with your love, O Lord; teach me your decrees.” You and I always have the thought on our minds–God teach me. Teach me love; teach me wisdom; teach me knowledge; simply teach me–I am an eager student. Thank God, God is patient. We are not quick learners and we are forgetful children. But, the truth is: God never gives up on us because His love for each of us endures forever.

Psalm 119:58 “I have sought your face with all my heart; be gracious to me according to your promise.” Every time you or I read the Bible we discover new thoughts, additional meanings and truths revealing God as The Master of everything. We study with an open heart wanting to understand like a sponge absorbing truth. To absorb, to understand to ponder is the joy of every Christian heart.

Psalm 119:50 “My comfort in my suffering is this; Your promise preserves my life.” All of us realize our lives on this earth are full of happiness, yet also full of sadness. We many times physically hurt, mentally hurt and our hearts hurt. Yet, through all this difficulty we always have the sure promise of the love and faithfulness of our Heavenly Father. That promise far outweighs all the pain of this earthly life. That promise fills our lives with peace and contentedness. Have a great weekend.

Psalm 119:41 “May your unfailing love come to me, O Lord, your salvation according to your promise.” You and I can find it difficult to understand that God’s unfailing love applies, not to the crowd of Christians or the group of the faithful, but to you and me individually. His promises, His unfailing love is for and to you. He has His arms wrapped around you. He holds your hand. He carries you. Why does He care so much for you? Answer: fold your hands and ask Him. Open your heart and feel His unfailing love for YOU! Let your children know this wonderful truth.

Psalm 119:33p, 34p, 35p, 36p, 37p,38p “Teach me, O Lord…Give me understanding…Direct me…Turn my heart…Turn my eyes away from worthless things…Fulfill your promise…” Fill my heart and soul with Your will, O God. That is the desire and prayer of every faithful adopted child of our Heavenly Father. That child is you and me. A simple prayer—-Have a wonderful day.

Psalm 119:32 “I run in the path of your commands, for you have set my heart free.” Every Christian lives with the joy of freedom. God’s ways and expectations for each of us give a freedom in life to live the most contented and joyful life known. Life is to be led with joy, respect, faithfulness and love. There are no handcuff rules as are found in all other religions. Christian hearts are all motivated by love. What a beautiful way to live.

Psalm 119:27 “Let me understand the teaching of your precepts; then I will meditate on your wonders.” Understanding our God is the constant desire of every child of His. We continually study and read His Word. We read what others write about our God. We pray for His wisdom, not the thinking of this world. We are continually amazed by His power, omniscience, omnipresence. God is an amazing God. There is no earthly word to describe Him. How wonderful it is that He lovingly carries each of us throughout life.

Psalm 119:24 “Your statutes are my delight; they are my counsellors.” It would be foolish to ignore the direction of a wise counsellor. Failure can only result if impetuous thinking and actions dominate our lives. To ignore what God in His Word has to say is to ignore the contentedness and peace which He only can provide. Jesus came to this earth to live, die and rise because of His great love for each of us. It would be foolish to ignore His wise counsel. Have a great weekend.

Psalm 119:19a “I am a stranger on earth…” No matter where we live, no matter how many homes we own on this earth, heaven is our home. Often your and my thoughts include a fear of leaving this earth and leaving all our possessions, family, friends and beautiful environment . We fear entering the astonishingly beautiful environment prepared for each of us. How can we be so short sighted and have such a lack of faith? God, give us such a faith that we look forward to the home you personally have created for each of us.

Psalm 119:11 “I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.” Your heart is your innermost being. Your soul is who you are. Your heart, your soul defines you even as what you see in the mirror identifies your outer looks. God has molded both your outer body and your inner soul. Neither your outer body or your inner soul are living by accident. Both the body and soul are to be used by each of us to give glory to our Heavenly Father, our Creator. Treat both the outer and the inner as precious gifts which make you both unique and blessed.
