LOVING GOD’S BOOK
OBSERVATION: AUTHOR DOUGLAS CONNELLY STATES THE BOOK OF PSALMS IS A COLLECTION OF ONE HUNDRED FIFTY POEMS BY VARIOUS AUTHORS THROUGHOUT ISRAEL’S HISTORY. KING DAVID PENNED HALF OF THE PSALMS AND OTHER WRITERS THE REMAINDER. THE PSALMS ADDRESSES VARIOUS EMOTIONAL ENCOUNTERS YOU MAY EXPERIENCE IN YOUR LIFE. READ PSALMS 119: 137-140.
INTERPRETATION: PSALMS 119:140 (NKJV) YOUR WORD IS PURE; THEREFORE, YOUR SERVANT LOVES IT.
POINTS TO PONDER:
IRREVERENCE TO GOD’S WORD IS A BARRIER TO HIS KNOWLEDGE. HIS WORD LENDS ITSELF TO HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, JUSTICE AND FAITHFULNESS.
THE (NATURAL) MIND AFFECTS YOU IN VARIOUS WAYS. IT IS VERY DETRIMENTAL FOR SPIRITUAL GROWTH, JOY AND PRAISE.
GOD’S WORD MAY BE TRIED THROUGH PROPHECY, MIRACLES, ADVERSITY, SCIENCE AND EXPERIENCE.
WHILE DAVID’S ENEMIES REJECTED HIM, HE STILL SOUGHT GOD’S WORD. YOUR RIGHTEOUS GOD GIVES A RIGHTEOUS WORD.
THE WORLD HAS LITTLE USE FOR GOD’S WORD OR HIS PEOPLE. REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE WORLD THINKS, GOD IS YOUR ONLY SPIRITUAL GIANT. TRUST HIM!
APPLICATION: SEEK AND FIND YOUR CONSOLATION IN GOD’S BOOK!
