Bible Reading: Psalms 119: 1 - 18
Topic: Benefits of Living By God's Words
Psalm 119 is the longest
Chapter in the Bible and begins with extolling the blessedness of the undefiled
ones in the Way. The "undefiled one" is the person who sincerely
believes the Word of God and whose life is regulated by the Scriptures.
Making the Word of God our
standard of living is very important for us who are on the way to eternal life
in Heaven.
Deut. 32: 47reveals it is
not to be regarded as ineffective and insignificant because it is our life, and
by this Word, we shall prolong our days in the land.
Notice that the Power of
the Word is connected with the blessing of God in our lives.
The land was the
inheritance of the Israelites from God and it is obeying His Words that would
prolong their lives in it.
Today, our marriages,
finances, family and all that give us joy are our inheritance from the Lord and
we shall long enjoy them if we direct our life style to honour God's Word.
Prayer:
Father, I thank You
because I am on the Way to eternal life. Cause me to love and obey Your Word in
all that I do in this corrupt generation so as to possess all the blessings
that come from doing so through Jesus Christ my Lord, Amen.
Memory verse: Psalms 119: 8
"I will keep Thy
Statutes, O forsake me not utterly"
