Psalm 119
Though it is not clear who the author is, the author speaks to me on the subject of keeping God's word. I must ready, study, recount, reflect, and obey God's word - all with a joy that is unequaled relative to earthly endeavors. What ends up striking me as well is the promise not to "neglect your word."
My Prayer: Lord Jesus, I know that You love me no matter what I do yet I seek to be more like you. I marvel in the love that You have for me and I thank You for all of the love and grace that You have for me - yet I desire for You to build me up, and to refine and purify me. Transform both my heart and my life - take me I am Yours. Forgive me for my sin today and let me run back to Your welcoming arms.
10 I seek you with all my heart;
do not let me stray from your commands.
11 I have hidden your word in my heart
that I might not sin against you.
12 Praise be to you, Lord;
teach me your decrees.
13 With my lips I recount
all the laws that come from your mouth.
14 I rejoice in following your statutes
as one rejoices in great riches.
15 I meditate on your precepts
and consider your ways.
16 I delight in your decrees;
I will not neglect your word.
do not let me stray from your commands.
11 I have hidden your word in my heart
that I might not sin against you.
