Psalm 119

Psalm 119 is the longest chapter in the Bible. Did you know every single verse says something about the Word of God?  My mentor shared that with me years ago. I can’t help looking for it every time I read it. It may not say “word,” it may use words like:

  •Precepts

  •Law

  •Commandments

  •Statutes

  •Judgments

  •Testimonies

  

You get the idea. Now you can be looking for them. Did you know the Holy Spirit will teach you as you read the Word of God? He’s the best teacher you will ever have! But you have to choose to be a student. Open that book and read!! Because when you do, Psalm 119:50 says, “Your Word has given me life!”  Psalm 119:97-104 tells us that we can have more understanding than our teachers or the ancients—because He teaches us! The Word will also guide our steps and light our paths according to verses 105-106, 130. He’ll show us exactly where to go and give us understanding and discernment. The Word redirects us when we’re going the wrong way. (Vs. 9)  One of the most amazing things God gives us through His Word is peace. “Great peace have those who love your law and nothing causes them to stumble,” according to verse 165.

The older I get, the more I live and observe, there is nothing more powerful than embracing and filling yourself with the Word of God. Money will fail you. People will fail you. Drinking will fail you. Going your own way will fail you. But God’s Word WILL NEVER FAIL YOU!!  

“Forever, O Lord, Your word is settled in heaven. Your faithfulness endures to all generations.” Psalm 119:89-90. 

Read His Word. Embrace it. Let the Spirit of God teach you. And then you will truly LIVE!!!
