July 4 … And Psalm 119

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 119:44-48“Free Indeed!”

“I will keep your law continually, forever and ever, and I shall walk in a wide place [FREEDOM!], for I have sought your precepts! [Where REAL FREEDOM is found!] … For I find my delight in your commandments, which I love… I will meditate on your statutes!

I urge you to do what I’m doing as I READ through Psalm 119 … REFLECT on each verse and let it lead you to a life-transforming RESPONSE!
