1.What made the psalmist trust God’s statutes (v. 140)?
2.In your life, why can you say that God’s Word is trustworthy?
3.How much do you trust God’s statutes?
4.What practical steps can you take for you to deepen your trust in God?
1. Because the psalmist was able to test God's love and the truthfulness of His Word maybe all throughout his lifetime.
2. It always rings true and practical. Whatever that God says, it really happens.
3. I fall sometimes specially as regards my faith. Sometimes I do not trust His Word enough to feel sure and confident about myself. I am easily swayed by what others say and the things that happen around me. I pray that God will deal with me in this area of my life.
4. First I guess is the amount of time and the real time that I devote to meditate and study God's Word. These past few days and weeks, I had been in such an emotional and really deep spiritual limbo that I found myself lying on the ground again. Good thing the Lord picked me up and gave me quite a "spanking" that I already learned my lesson. But this is going to be a day to to day dependence on Him for I might stumble again.
" Your laws are always right; help me to understand them so I may live."
Psalm 119:144 NLT
This is my prayer. That God will give me a daily and ample dose of understanding of His Word that I will be able to live the life that He has always wanted me to have. I had been into such a tempest and I thank Him for getting me out of that trouble. I thought something really bad happened for me to feel bad about myself but upon reflection, I have realized that it was indeed a blessing in disguise. For I have seen and learned many things and one of the best things that happened to me was I was able to finally fully let go of that very wrong person first in my head and in my heart.
Lord, please always give me understanding. Help me Father not to compromise anymore. Just to follow You and disregard whatever the people around me will say. I will discriminate and choose carefully the advice given me and will look into what You have to say before I plunge into something, head first. Lord, thank You for Your mercy, Your grace and Your love for me. Enough to save me from my own follies.
Give me strength to just follow You and keep Your word in my heart and live by them day by day.
Amen
