Psalm 119: 129-136 NLT

1.How did the psalmist see God’s statutes? Because of this, how did he respond to the Word?
2.Why do you think did the psalmist respond the way he did in verse 136? How much can you relate to him in this?
3.Which of God’s commands do you think you need to put to practice today? How will you do this?

1. He thought that God's laws were wonderful worthy to be obeyed. He considered the Word of God the main source of his life. Most precious than anything or anyone else.

2. Because he loved God's word so much. It was his life, itself. How can you not love something that gives you life? In my case, I feel sad each time I see or hear people doing things that do not conform with the word of God. Something inside me cries out, something inside me becomes crestfallen. I just feel sad. Terribly sad.

3. Many. Specially when it has something to do with my speech and my thoughts. This day, unholy and sinful thoughts plagued my mind again. Too bad, I entertained them so my emotions joined in. Now, I am feeling upset again being deceived by my emotions at the same time, condemned by my conscience. One important teaching I learned from God is "do not be yoked together with unbelievers (2 Cor.6:14."

I see now the wisdom of God each time He says that. Like in my case, I have been surrounded by my "unbelieving" friends so it is mostly trash that gets into my mind. And I suffer the consequences. I am going to ask God to give me wisdom regarding this issue but may He always give me strength to deal with this area in my life.


In Reflection:

" Guide my steps by Your word, so I will not be overcome by evil."
-Psalm 119: 133,NLT-

Lord, this is my prayer. May Your word always stick into my mind that I may always do the right thing in Your eyes. I don't want to be overcome by evil Father but I will overcome it through You and the power of Your word. Father, forgive me of my sinful and bad ways and change me Lord God from glory to glory. Not mine, but Yours.
Lord, guide me in everything. Guide me so that the enemy will not have any chance to hurt me of to endanger me.
Thanks a lot, dear Father in heaven.

Amen.
