1.How is God’s Word “eternal,” as described in these verses?
2.In verse 95, how did the psalmist respond to those who threatened to attack him? Why do you think he responded that way?
3.What steps will you take to put this truth into action today?
1. God's Word stands firm in heaven. Firm means consistent, unwavering, rooted, always there. Constant, will never change.
2. He quietly waited on God and depended on Him. The key word here is "quietly." Meaning he was at peace, nothing worried him for he knew that Someone up there, Someone so strong, reliable and constant was up there seeing everything, watching him and protecting him.
3. I am plague with negative emotions again. Negative thinking and unhealthy imagination. I will look into God's Word and I'll let Him do the talking now. I will just quietly let Him take the hold of my heart and mind. I will just wait on Him quietly. Whatever happens, by His grace, I will hold on to Him. I will keep His words inside my heart.
In Reflection:
"If your instructions hadn’t sustained me with joy, I would have died in my misery."
-Psalm 119: 92, NLT-
I can fully relate with the psalmist now. Right now, I am bombarded by negative emotions again. Hate, bitterness, jealousy, sense of inadequacy and envy are slowly creeping into my heart. Yet, thank God, He is in my life, He has never let me down and has never let me go so deep in my self-created misery. The enemy indeed knows where and when to target me. Yet, God is with me. I could never imagine my life without Him or else it is already tantamount to death. Death of my physical body and most specially my spirit. I thank Him for His word that gives me encouragement now.
