Remember & Do (Ps 119 Pt 3)

Do we remember valuable lessons from God’s word and put them into practice? Are we grateful for God’s kindness? Let’s continue in Psalm 119.

? Zayin - Remember His Word

Do we pray that God helps us remember His word? Does God’s word revive us?

Remember your word to your servant, because you gave me hope. This is my comfort in my affliction, for your word has revived me. The arrogant mock me excessively, but I don’t swerve from your law. I remember your ordinances of old, Yahweh, and have comforted myself. Indignation has taken hold on me, because of the wicked who forsake your law. Your statutes have been my songs in the house where I live. I have remembered your name, Yahweh, in the night, and I obey your law. This is my way, that I keep your precepts. (Ps 119:49-56 WEB)

? Het - Do His Word

Do we promise to do what God has said? Do we wholeheartedly seek His favor?

The Lord is my possession. I promise to do what you have said. I’ve sought your favor with all my heart; have mercy on me according to your word. I’ve considered my ways and turned my feet back to your laws. I hurry to keep your commandments—I never put it off! Though the wicked have surrounded me with their ropes, I haven’t forgotten your Instruction. I get up in the middle of the night to give thanks to you because of your righteous rules. I’m a friend to everyone who honors you and to all who keep your precepts. Lord, the world is full of your faithful love! Teach me your statutes! (Ps 119:57-64 CEB)

? Tet - God’s Kindness

Do we give God our thanks and trust for all the good things He has done for us?

I am your servant, Lord, and you have kept your promise to treat me with kindness. Give me wisdom and good sense. I trust your commands. Once you corrected me for not obeying you, but now I do obey. You are kindhearted, and you do good things, so teach me your laws. My reputation is being ruined by conceited liars, but with all my heart I follow your teachings. Those liars have no sense, but I find happiness in your Law. When you corrected me, it did me good because it taught me to study your laws. I would rather obey you than to have a thousand pieces of silver and gold. (Ps 119:65-72 CEV)

If the old covenant is no longer our covenant, what valuable lessons can we learn from it?

All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work. (2 Tim 3:16-17 ESV)
