#psalm 119

[thewordfortheday]

I have treasured Your word in my heart, So that I may not sin against You.

Psalm 119:11

How do I live a life pleasing in God's sight? How do I overcome sin that besets me?

The Psalmist treasured God's word in his heart. What did he do? According to Psalm 119, he longed for it, he delighted in God's word, he meditated on it, he rejoiced in His word and he took it to heart, treasured it in his heart. Why did he do all these things? He was constantly seeking to live a righteous life, and realised that only God's word could keep him away from sin.

He cried out to God for help. Let's make this our cry too.

Let's pray: Teach me, Lord, the way of Your decrees, that I may follow it to the end.

Give me understanding, so that I may keep Your law and obey it with all my heart. Direct me in the path of Your commands, for there I find delight. Turn my heart toward Your statutes and not toward selfish gain. Turn my eyes away from worthless things; preserve my life according to Your word. (V-33-37) In Jesus' name, Amen

[wisdomfish]

You are my house of refuge and my shield, my hiding-place, my shelter, my place of safety, my defender and protector, my fortress, my helper and my supporter; your word is my source of hope, my only hope, I have put my hope in your word, I put my hope in your promise. And in your word, I have greatly hoped.

Psalm 119:114
