Psalm 119:97 - 104 ? Mem - Water
1. David's Devotion for God's Word - 97 O how love I thy law!
It's Pictorial - O how,
It's Personal - love I,
It's Powerful - thy law! - (all you’ve revealed;) - It's Fullness, It's Faithfulness, It's Fitness.
2. David's Deliberation in God's Word - it is my meditation all the day.
It's Hold, It's Help, It's Hope, and It's Health.
3. David's Declaration of God's Word - It Made Him -
Wiser than His Enemies - 98 Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me.
Wiser than His Educators - 99 I have more understanding than all my teachers:
for thy testimonies are my meditation.
Wiser than His Elders - 100 I understand more than the ancients,
because I keep thy precepts
4. David's Dedication to God's Word -
In His Walk - 101 I have refrained my feet from every evil way,
In His Watch - that I might keep thy word.
In His Will - 102 I have not departed from thy judgments:
(I never make detours from the route you laid out;)
In His Worship - for thou hast taught me.
Divine Instruction - 102 I have not departed from thy judgments:
Direct Instruction - for thou hast taught me.
Distinct Instruction - thy judgments:, for thou hast taught me.
Definitive Instruction - 102 I have not departed from thy judgments:
Precious promise God has given, To the weary passerby,
On the way from earth to Heaven, “I will guide thee with Mine eye.” (Nathanael Niles)
Psalm 32:8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go:
I will guide thee with mine eye.
5. David's Domination through God's Word -
It Has Conquered -
His Life - 103 How sweet are thy words unto my taste!
His Love - yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
His Lack - 104 Through thy precepts I get understanding:
His Loss - therefore I hate every false way.
