3/21/09 Psalm 119:43-48

SCRIPTURE:
(Please share the verse(s) which speaks to you)
Never take the word of truth from my mouth, for I hope Your Judgments I will always keep Your Law forever and ever. I will walk freely in an open place because I seek Your precepts I will speak of Your decrees before kings and not be ashamed. I delight in Your commands which I love. I will lift up my hands to Your commands which I love and will meditate on Your statutes.
OBSERVATION:
There is life giving strength in having a relationship with the Lord. The Lord gives guidance in Scripture (and written upon our hearts). This verse reminds us we are strong in vulnerability (“walking in the open”) and before power (“speaking of Your decrees before kings”). We are to simply love God, search Scriptures, and pray.
APPLICATION:
This passage also reminds me of our habit of relying on the self. We must keep God’s message close to our hearts and minds so that our actions can show life with God.
PRAYER
Lord, thank you for your message found in Scripture and written upon our hearts. Open my eyes, clear my ears, and warm my heart to your law and love so that I may always abide in that strength.
YES
I will continually search the Scriptures
