Psalm 119

At small group the past few weeks we have been studying Psalm 119.
Again, being reminded of the importance of God's word in my life. We are to walk in his word, keep his commands, seek after him daily, do what he commands, fix our eyes on Him, learn his law, guard it in our hearts, store it, teach it, declare it, delight in it, and meditate on it.

God's word is not to be read passively, but actively.

It is not to be done daily so we can check it off of our list, but as we read we actively apply it to our lives.

Such a good reminder.

Psalm 119

Aleph

¹ Blessed are those whose way is blameless,
who walk in the law of the LORD!
² Blessed are those who keep his testimonies,
who seek him with their whole heart,
³ who also do no wrong,
but walk in his ways!
⁴ You have commanded your precepts
to be kept diligently.
⁵ Oh that my ways may be steadfast
in keeping your statutes!
⁶ Then I shall not be put to shame,
having my eyes fixed on all your commandments.
⁷ I will praise you with an upright heart,
when I learn your righteous rules.
⁸ I will keep your statutes;
do not utterly forsake me!

Beth

⁹ How can a young man keep his way pure?
By guarding it according to your word.
¹⁰ With my whole heart I seek you;
let me not wander from your commandments!
¹¹ I have stored up your word in my heart,
that I might not sin against you.
¹² Blessed are you, O LORD;
teach me your statutes!
¹³ With my lips I declare
all the rules of your mouth.
¹⁴ In the way of your testimonies I delight
as much as in all riches.
¹⁵ I will meditate on your precepts
and fix my eyes on your ways.
¹⁶ I will delight in your statutes;
I will not forget your word.
