There may be some that think I’ve “gone off the deep end” … that I’m just a little weird… but I can truthfully say I LOVE THE BIBLE!! I don’t just like the Bible or appreciate the Bible… I LOVE THE BIBLE!
I’ve been reading Psalm 119 as part of my Bible reading here in Western Montana on vacation and I think I’ve fallen in love with it all over again… In Psalm 119 it is like the Psalmist holds a beautiful, multi-faceted precious diamond – God’s word – up under the light of inspection and slowly turns it so that every incredible facet, every color, every surface is allowed to display its beauty, power and clarity. I’ve been savoring it…relishing it…delighting in it every day. In the next days of my reading I’ll share some of the verses that especially impacted me (sometimes with a comment or two).
Today was no exception… From Psalm 119:33–40 – A PRAYER FOR UNDERSTANDING LEADING TO OBEDIENCE
“Teach me, O Lord, the way of Your statutes; and I will keep them to the end!
“Give me understanding, that I may keep Your law and observe it with my whole heart!
“Lead me in the path of Your commandments, for I delight in them!
“Incline my heart to Your testimonies, and not to selfish gain!
“Turn my eyes from looking at worthless things; and give me life in Your ways!
“Behold, I long for Your precepts; in Your righteousness give me life!“
I urge you to do what I’m doing… REFLECT on each verse and let it lead you to a life-transforming RESPONSE!
