Praising Scripture - Dec 7

Introduction...

Psalm 119:105-112 Praise God’s Word
（Memorization Scripture: vv. 105-108）
105 Your word is a lamp to my feet
And a light to my path.
106 I have sworn and confirmed
That I will keep Your righteous judgments.
107 I am afflicted very much;
Revive me, O Lord, according to Your word.
108 Accept, I pray, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O Lord,
And teach me Your judgments.

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 strayed from Your precepts.

111 Your testimonies I have taken as a heritage forever,
For they are the rejoicing of my heart.
112 I have inclined my heart to perform Your statutes
Forever, to the very end.




[Sharing]
In the eyes of the psalmist, the revealed word of the Lord is extremely precious as it is his heritage forever and the joy of his heart. The Lord’s words are the righteous law and the light in which we walk in this dark world. Therefore, the psalmist not only took an oath to keep the word of God, but also confirmed that he would keep it no matter how much it cost.
When we act in God's word in this dark world, we will often encounter battles as the wicked have set a snare for us, and we constantly take our lives in our hands. Yet, we know that when we walk in His word, He will preserve our lives according to His word.
Therefore, we hope that we, like the psalmist, will keep the word of God and consider His word as the lamp to our feet and the light for our path every day. Even when we encounter difficulties in obeying the word of God, we can willing praise Him with our mouths and stay living in His precepts. Let us confirm to set our hearts on keeping the Lord’s decrees to the every end!
