Psalm 119 Vs 41-48

The Psalmist in Psalm 119 Vs 41-48 seeks God's precepts, but why? This section of Psalm 119 gives several reasons for his trust in God's Word. God's mercies and salvation come to him through the Word of God and they give him an answer to those who reproach him. Also, the Law of God gives him liberty and helps him to speak of God's testimonies before kings without being ashamed.

As Christians today we are so blessed to have the Word of God to read and study. Everything we know about the Christian life is revealed to us in the pages of the Bible. We learn of our need for salvation and God's miraculous provision of eternal life by trusting in the perfect sacrifice of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Even though many around us do not believe this Word, the Bible gives us answers to their reproaches. Obedience to God's Word gives us liberty! We are no longer slaves to sin, but walk in the liberty of Christ. We no longer fear what kings and rulers may do to us because Christ is our Keeper.

God's commandments are our delights, therefore we must meditate on them day and night. What a great and awesome God we have who does not leave us without the witness of His Word.

Pray that like the Psalmist in Psalm 119 Vs 41-48 you will love God's commandments and meditate on them throughout the day.
