(Dear Lord Jesus, guide me and give me insight as I read and study Your word, and let it be the meditation of my heart...)
(Psalm 119:49-176)
57 The Lord is my portion;
I have promised to keep Your words.
58 I sought Your favor with all my heart;
Be gracious to me according to Your word.
59 I considered my ways
And turned my feet to Your testimonies.
60 I hurried and did not delay
To keep Your commandments.
61 The snares of the wicked have surrounded me,
But I have not forgotten Your Law.
62 At midnight I will rise to give thanks to You
Because of Your righteous judgments.
63 I am a companion to all those who fear You,
And to those who keep Your precepts.
64 The earth is full of Your goodness, Lord;
Teach me Your statutes.
I have promised to keep Your words.
58 I sought Your favor with all my heart;
Be gracious to me according to Your word.
59 I considered my ways
And turned my feet to Your testimonies.
60 I hurried and did not delay
To keep Your commandments.
61 The snares of the wicked have surrounded me,
But I have not forgotten Your Law.
62 At midnight I will rise to give thanks to You
Because of Your righteous judgments.
63 I am a companion to all those who fear You,
And to those who keep Your precepts.
64 The earth is full of Your goodness, Lord;
Teach me Your statutes.
TODAY'S THOUGHTS AND MEDITATION:
Why wait? If we know that God is good, and that living in His will is beneficial to our lives, why would we not want to immediately correct something that we are doing wrong? And when we face temptations, why would we not immediately think through God's Law in order to remain steadfast?
And to help in our walk, why would we not turn to the Lord in prayer and thanksgiving no matter when or where we are. And to have extra little help in our walk, why would we not develop deep friendships with those who also walk in God's will? If the best things in life are in one direction, why would we walk in the opposite direction?
