Crave: Psalm 119:9-16 NIV

1. To live a pure life, what is the secret according to these verses?
2. How did the psalmist hide God’s Word in his heart (v. 15,16)?
3. How does this apply to you today?


1. According to verse 9, it's all about living according to God's Word. To live according to what the Bible says. Simple as that but not so simple actually.

2. The psalmist meditated on God's Word and in fact was delighted and happy upon entering God's presence. Reading and studying God's Word was not a mundane and boring task for him but actually a joyful and wonderful moment communing and interacting with God.

3. I felt last night how beneficial it is for me to just read and study God's Word day and night. I was able to sleep well without my mind wandering somewhere else, without me thinking of those bad and malicious thoughts about others and I woke up so good. It was indeed a good time and I look forward to doing this lovely routine everyday. God's Word enlightens everyone and teaches us on what are we to do with the life that we have.

I will always remember this verse:

" Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time" Ecclesiastes 3:11a, NLT

I was so blessed by the testimony of Ms. May and her husband. They had been waiting for her to get pregnant for how many years already and even tried everything just to conceive but to no avail. Maybe they also had their own struggles and pains and maybe impatience was their constant companion during those times. And now, she's pregnant just when they learned to let go and just opened themselves to whatever God asked them to do. And He gave them what they have always wanted. God indeed has His own timing and He will make everything beautiful in its own time. Now is the time for me to be more faithful and patient and just wait on Him with joy and peace in my heart. And I will make the most out of my time until the day that He will finally answer my prayers and will give me what He has promised.
