Psalm 119 1 11 119 Blessed are the
Psalm 119: 1 -11
§ 119 Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD. § 2 Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart. § 3 They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways. § 4 Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently.
When you are committed to God and his Word, you are BLESSED. When you study this in-depth, you learn that the writer is describing you as happy. Everyone that knows me, I capitalize on happiness. Happiness is like a cure to my soul. I love happiness. For many years, I’ve been happy. There are many times, I speak happiness to my soul. We know what Paul said about happiness. “I think myself happy. ” Acts 26: 2
When you are happy, you are exceling. Paul said these words in the midst of accusations. In the midst of your trail, calamity, struggles can you think yourself happy? One may say, how can I think myself happy when I am going through. Psalm 119 gives us some pointers.
§ Are you walking in the laws of God? § Are you keeping the Lord’s testimonies? Do you believe what God said? § Are you living clean? Have you received Jesus? § Is his statues inside of you? Are you living Jesus? If you can say yes to the above, you have the power to think yourself happy. Yes God…………
§ § O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes! 6 Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments. 7 I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments. 8 I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly.
When you line yourself up with God and his word, what can go wrong? Doing things God’s way is always RIGHT! If God is with you, who can be against you? God loves to show out for his people. He loves to show that besides him, there is no other. When you commit yourself to God’s word commits itself to you.
I have experienced times that doing things God way can be challenging. The flesh desires to make worldly decisions, but the spirit man- that Holy Ghost inside of you, will line you up with God’s word if you let him. I love the Holy Ghost. He will order your steps in the word of God, even when you are not thinking. Greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
When you take on the commands of God, you can understand verse 6 -8. Trusting God, letting go and let God is what you need to stand strong. This will defeat shame and fear. This will free your worship. When you are free to worship, it’s because you have let go. You are trusting the ALMIGHTY. You are free to Worship! Halleluiah!!!!!!!
§ § § Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word. 10 With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments. 11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
In conclusion, the word of God has to be taken up by you. Have you ever heard pick up your cross and walk? What is being said is, pick up the word and salvation of God and go. It is imperative that we keep our brothers and sisters encouraged to continue this fight of faith. Continue tell them to pick up their cross and walk.
Believe in God and the word of God with thine whole heart. Know that God is able to preform that thing that perfects you. David begged God not to let his commandments forsake him. When have you begged God not to let you be a sinner. When have you begged God to let your light shine. I said BEGGED. I mean cry out. I know for a fact God will do it.
Put his word in your heart. Let his word be Christ Jesus in you. Everywhere you see the word- word, replace it with Christ Jesus have I hid in my heart that I might not sin against thee. When God sends out his word (Christ Jesus), it (he) shall not return back void. Richard
