Have you ever read all of Psalm 119?  I memorized close to 1/3 of it once.   To me it’s an amazing picture of a relationship with a righteous and holy God.  When He reveals Himself to us, we are overwhelmed by His lovingkindness. We are revived by His Word.  Delight fills our heart and we seek to honor Him with all we are. 

Our minds desire to Know, Live, and Speak the Truth of His Word and are set on His will.  The Psalmist understands that He cannot do these things in His own strength but needs the power of God and therefore cries out to Him for help.  He is so dependent on God and he delights in God’s faithfulness.  Quite counter cultural to our do-it-yourself world.  We are not striving for independence but obedient dependence.  
Personal Reflection

Do you love the Word of God including everything it asks and commands of You?  Do you long for it daily?  Set aside some time and read deeply Psalm 119.  Make notes of everything the Psalmist is passionate about.  Where does His passion come from?

Prayer Focus

Gracious and faithful Father, we come before you with hearts and minds that forget the Truth.  We confess that our minds are consumed with the things of this life.   Revive us according to you loving kindness that we may seek your word, will, and statutes.  Teach us your ways that we may walk blameless and bring Your Name honor  and glory.  Write your Word on our hearts. May we love you every moment of every day in the power of Christ, Amen!
