Psalm 119 Vs 1-8Aleph
Who walk in the law of the LORD! 2 Blessed are those who keep His testimonies, Who seek Him with the whole heart! 3 They also do no iniquity; They walk in His ways. 4 You have commanded us To keep Your precepts diligently. 5 Oh, that my ways were directed To keep Your statutes! 6 Then I would not be ashamed, When I look into all Your commandments. 7 I will praise You with uprightness of heart, When I learn Your righteous judgments. 8 I will keep Your statutes; Oh, do not forsake me utterly! Psalm 119 Vs 1-8, NKJV How does this Psalmist approach the Law of God in Psalm 119 Vs 1-8? What does he think of the law; how important is God's Law to him? These are important questions, not only for the Psalmist, but also for us! It's interesting that he equates love and obedience to the law with walking faithfully with God. Verse five addresses this problem by saying, Oh, that my ways were steadfast in obeying your decrees! Then I would not be put to shame. So what are we to do? Because Christ has perfectly obeyed the law for us and has died to pay for our sins, we must continually cry out to Him to help us to live uprightly and obedient before God. As we continue beyond Psalm 119 Vs 1-8, we will discover the great peace and joy that comes to us when we are obedient to the Law of God. Pray today that God will help you to obey His righteous decrees. It does not matter how we look to those around us; it only matters how we look to God!
