Psalm 119:9-16 ? Beth
1. The Young Man's Way - There's
A Calling from God's Word - 9 Wherewithal shall a young man
A Cleansing in God's Word - cleanse his way?
A Cleaving to God's Word - by taking heed thereto
A Claiming of God's Word - according to thy word
We Claim It as God's Word , and It Claims Us.
2. The Young Man's Will
Total Devotion - 10 With my whole heart
Total Dedication - have I sought thee:
Total Discretion - O let me not wander
Total Dominion - from thy commandments.
3. The Young Man's Word
A Holy Word - God's Word - 11 Thy word
A Hidden Word - have I hid in mine heart,
A Healthy Word - that I might not sin against thee.
4. The Young Man's Worship
A Faithful Worship - 12 Blessed art thou, O Lord:
A Focused Worship - O Lord:
A Fruitful Worship - teach me thy statutes. (Andrew Fraser)
5. The Young Man's Witness
It's Personal - 13 With my lips
It's Practical - have I declared
It's Plentiful - all the judgments
It's Prophetical - of thy mouth - Isaiah 55:11 so shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
6. The Young Man's Wealth
The Secret of His Joy - 14 I have rejoiced
The Source of His Joy - in the way of thy testimonies,
The Sum of His Joy - as much as in all riches.
7. The Young Man's Wisdom
His Meditation is Deliberate - 15 I will meditate
Definitely, Diligently, (Search the Scriptures) Daily, and Delightedly -
Psalm 1: Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. 2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
His Meditation is Defined - in thy precepts, -
It's Not - What I say about God - I can be deceived
What Others say about God - they can be deceived
It's What God says about me - 15 I will meditate in thy precepts,
His Meditation is Deferential - and have respect unto thy ways.
What shall I do then with Jesus?, Neutral I Cannot be,
For soon my soul will be asking, what shall He do with me?.
8. The Young Man's Wonder -
At The Will of God,
At The Work of God,
At The Word of God,
At The Way to God,
16 I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word.
