Psalm 119:65-72

ט Teth
⁶⁵ Do good to your servant
   according to your word, LORD.
⁶⁶ Teach me knowledge and good judgment,
   for I trust your commands.
⁶⁷ Before I was afflicted I went astray,
   but now I obey your word.
⁶⁸ You are good, and what you do is good;
   teach me your decrees.
⁶⁹ Though the arrogant have smeared me with lies,
   I keep your precepts with all my heart.
⁷⁰ Their hearts are callous and unfeeling,
   but I delight in your law.
⁷¹ It was good for me to be afflicted
   so that I might learn your decrees.
⁷² The law from your mouth is more precious to me
   than thousands of pieces of silver and gold.

Psalms 119:65-72

However God has dealt with us, he has dealt with us better than we deserve; and all in love, and for our good. Many have knowledge, but little judgment; those who have both, are fortified against the snares of Satan, and furnished for the service of God. We are most apt to wander from God, when we are easy in the world.

We should leave our concerns to the disposal of God, seeing we know not what is good for us. Lord, thou art our bountiful Benefactor; incline our hearts to faith and obedience.

The psalmist will go on in his duty with constancy and resolution.

The proud are full of the world, and its wealth and pleasures; these make them senseless, secure, and stupid.

God visits his people with affliction, that they may learn his statutes. Not only God's promises, but even his law, his percepts, though hard to ungodly men, are desirable, and profitable, because they lead us with safety and delight unto eternal life.

A major blizzard is moving across the U.S.

A major blizzard/bad weather front is moving across the U.S. I believe the "death" can be taken out of a system like this by the prayers of the people in the affected areas.

1. I encourage you to pray, especially for your area, to be spared loss of life.

2. If you believe this is from the Lord, let anyone in affected areas other than the one you live in know they should stand in prayer against loss of life.

A Word From Our Friend Pat

Everything we desire is already here. If you desire health, it is here for you. If you desire wealth, it is here for you. If you desire a new job, it is here for you. If you desire a new home, it is here for you. You may ask, if all that I desire is here for me, why can't I see it? All we desire is here in the Spirit. We cannot see things in the Spirit with our physical eye. That's like trying to hear a FM station with an AM radio. They are on different "wave lengths." The devil knows he has to keep us looking and hearing with our physical senses so we would not even realize the power and wealth we possess in our Spirit. We can sharpen our" Spiritual Senses "through prayer and reading the Bible. Our spirits hunger for the word and the fellowship with God. When we neglect prayer and reading of the Word, our spirits become "starved" for its spiritual nourishment. Today, let us spend more time in prayer and meditating the Word of God.

Psalm 119:57-64

ח
Heth
⁵⁷ You are my portion, LORD;
   I have promised to obey your words.
⁵⁸ I have sought your face with all my heart;
   be gracious to me according to your promise.
⁵⁹ I have considered my ways
   and have turned my steps to your statutes.
⁶⁰ I will hasten and not delay
   to obey your commands.
⁶¹ Though the wicked bind me with ropes,
   I will not forget your law.
⁶² At midnight I rise to give you thanks
   for your righteous laws.
⁶³ I am a friend to all who fear you,
   to all who follow your precepts.
⁶⁴ The earth is filled with your love, LORD;
   teach me your decrees.

Psalms 119:57-64

True believers take the Lord for the portion of their inheritance, and nothing less will satisfy them.

The psalmist prayed with his whole heart, knowing how to value the blessing he prayed for: he desired the mercy promised, and depended on the promise for it.

He turned from by-paths, and returned to God's testimonies.

He delayed not.

It behooves sinners to hasten to escape; and the believer will be equally in haste to glorify God.

No care or grief should take away God's word out of our minds, or hinder the comfort it bestows.

There is no situation on earth in which a believer has not cause to be thankful.

Let us feel ashamed that others are more willing to keep from sleep to spend the time in sinful pleasures, than we are to praise God.

And we should be more earnest in prayer, that our hearts may be filled with his mercy, grace, and peace.

Psalm 119:49-56

ז Zayin
⁴⁹ Remember your word to your servant,
   for you have given me hope.
⁵⁰ My comfort in my suffering is this:
   Your promise preserves my life.
⁵¹ The arrogant mock me unmercifully,
   but I do not turn from your law.
⁵² I remember, LORD, your ancient laws,
   and I find comfort in them.
⁵³ Indignation grips me because of the wicked,
   who have forsaken your law.
⁵⁴ Your decrees are the theme of my song
   wherever I lodge.
⁵⁵ In the night, LORD, I remember your name,
   that I may keep your law.
⁵⁶ This has been my practice:
   I obey your precepts.

Psalms 119:49-56

Those that make God's promises their portion, May with humble boldness make them their plea. He that by his Spirit works faith in us will work for us.

The word of God speaks comfort in affliction. If, through grace, it makes us holy, there is enough in it to make us easy, in all conditions.

Let us be certain we have the Divine law for what we believe, and then let not scoffers prevail upon us to decline from it. God's judgments of old comfort and encourage us, for he is still the same.

Sin is horrible in the eyes of all that are sanctified. Ere long the believer will be absent from the body, and present with the Lord.

In the meantime, the statutes of the Lord supply subjects for grateful praise. In the season of affliction, and in the silent hours of the night, he remembers the name of the Lord, and is stirred up to keep the law.

All who have made religion the first thing, will own that they have been unspeakable gainers by it.

Psalm 119:41-48

   ו Waw
⁴¹ May your unfailing love come to me, LORD,
   your salvation, according to your promise;
⁴² then I can answer anyone who taunts me,
   for I trust in your word.
⁴³ Never take your word of truth from my mouth,
   for I have put my hope in your laws.
⁴⁴ I will always obey your law,
   for ever and ever.
⁴⁵ I will walk about in freedom,
   for I have sought out your precepts.
⁴⁶ I will speak of your statutes before kings
   and will not be put to shame,
⁴⁷ for I delight in your commands
   because I love them.
⁴⁸ I reach out for your commands, which I love,
   that I may meditate on your decrees.

Psalms 119:41-48

Lord, I have by faith thy mercies in view; let me by prayer prevail to obtain them. And when the salvation of the saints is completed, it will plainly appear that it was not in vain to trust in God's word.

We need to pray that we may never be afraid or ashamed to own God's truths and ways before men. And the psalmist resolves to keep God's law, in a constant course of obedience, without backsliding.

The service of sin is slavery; the service of God is liberty. There is no full happiness, or perfect liberty, but in keeping God's law.

We must never be ashamed or afraid to own our religion. The more delight we take in the service of God, the nearer we come to perfection.

Not only consent to his law as good, but take pleasure in it as good for us. Let me put forth all the strength I have, to do it. Something of this mind of Christ is in every true disciple.

Psalm 119:33-40

   ה He
³³ Teach me, LORD, the way of your decrees,
   that I may follow it to the end.^[b]
³⁴ Give me understanding, so that I may keep your law
   and obey it with all my heart.
³⁵ Direct me in the path of your commands,
   for there I find delight.
³⁶ Turn my heart toward your statutes
   and not toward selfish gain.
³⁷ Turn my eyes away from worthless things;
   preserve my life according to your word.^[c]
³⁸ Fulfill your promise to your servant,
   so that you may be feared.
³⁹ Take away the disgrace I dread,
   for your laws are good.
⁴⁰ How I long for your precepts!
   In your righteousness preserve my life.

Psalms 119:33-40

Teach me thy statutes, not the mere words, but the way of applying them to myself.

God, by his Spirit, gives a right understanding. But the Spirit of revelation in the word will not suffice, unless we have the Spirit of wisdom in the heart. God puts his Spirit within us, causing us to walk in his statutes. The sin here prayed against is covetousness. Those that would have the love of God rooted in them, must get the love of the world rooted out; for the friendship of the world is enmity with God.

Quicken me in thy way; to redeem time, and to do every duty with liveliness of spirit. Beholding vanity deadens us, and slackens our pace; a traveler must not stand gazing upon every object that presents itself to his view.

The promises of God's word greatly relate to the preservation of the true believer.

When Satan has drawn a child of God into worldly compliance, he will reproach him with the falls into which he led him.

Victory must come from the cross of Christ.

When we enjoy the sweetness of God's precepts, it will make us long for more acquaintance with them. And where God has wrought to will, he will work to do.
