I challenged everyone in the Textually Active message to read through Psalm 119 this week so here are some of my thoughts on each 8 verse section and then an application point for myself for the day. Feel free to read along and share your thoughts as well.
Psalm 119:129-136: Vs. 36, “Streams of tears flow from my eyes, for your law is not obeyed”. Sin whether our own or others should cause us great anguish. One way to know that you are really growing is when you stop sinning not because you have to, but because you want to.
Psalm 119:137-144: Verse 142 reminds us that the Bible doesn’t simply contain truth, but is truth. Again as I said on Sunday, the bible isn’t a book to be read but rather a person to know. That person’s name is Jesus…and He said, that He is truth and John calls Him the Word that became flesh. In other words, realize that when you read the bible you’re spending time with Jesus.
Psalm 119:145-152: Vs. 147, “I rise before dawn and cry for help; I have put my hope in your word”. Someone once said, “No Bible, No Breakfast”.
Psalm 119:153-160: Vs. 160 is another reminder that the bible is just a relevant today as it has ever been…His word is eternal!
