6-7-23   THOUGHTS  

The 119th Psalm is a perpetual reminder of our need for God’s Word!   David says “I have inherited Your testimonies forever, For they are the joy of my heart.”  He says “I wait for Your word.”   Can we say with David  “Revive me, O LORD, according to Your word”?   The last word in our reading this morning is “continually”.  
Heb 8:10   "FOR THIS IS THE COVENANT THAT I WILL MAKE WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL AFTER THOSE DAYS, SAYS THE LORD: I WILL PUT MY LAWS INTO THEIR MINDS, AND I WILL WRITE THEM ON THEIR HEARTS. AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD, AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE.

Ps 119:105-117     Nun. Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.  106  I have sworn and I will confirm it, That I will keep Your righteous ordinances. 107  I am exceedingly afflicted; Revive me, O LORD, according to Your word. 108  O accept the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD, And teach me Your ordinances. 109  My life is continually in my hand, Yet I do not forget Your law. 110  The wicked have laid a snare for me, Yet I have not gone astray from Your precepts. 111  I have inherited Your testimonies forever, For they are the joy of my heart. 112  I have inclined my heart to perform Your statutes Forever, even to the end. 113  Samekh. I hate those who are double-minded, But I love Your law. 114  You are my hiding place and my shield; I wait for Your word. 115  Depart from me, evildoers, That I may observe the commandments of my God. 116  Sustain me according to Your word, that I may live; And do not let me be ashamed of my hope. 117  Uphold me that I may be safe, That I may have regard for Your statutes continually.

My Prayer:
Lord, deliver us from ourselves.  Put Your mind into our minds.  May our desire be unto You, O Father, and not to anything else.  May we joyfully subject ourselves to one Master.  May we find You in Your Word.   Help our hearts to seek You diligently and wait for Your Word.  Be our God that we may be Your people.  Revive us and sustain us, O Lord, according to Your Word.  

In the name of Jesus,     Amen.
