The Word of God: Showing Us How to Live!! September 04, 2014 Psalm 119:17-32: In today’s reading the psalmist acknowledges the pleasure derived from following God’s instructions. He prays for help to understand God’s laws and seeks to obey God’s commands. Today’s Scripture: Psalm 119:32 I will eagerly obey your commands, because you will give me more understanding. Today’s Reading 17 Be good to me, your servant, so that I may live and obey your teachings. 18 Open my eyes, so that I may see the wonderful truths in your law. 19 I am here on earth for just a little while; do not hide your commands from me. 20 My heart aches with longing; I want to know your judgments at all times. 21 You reprimand the proud; cursed are those who disobey your commands. 22 Free me from their insults and scorn, because I have kept your laws. 23 The rulers meet and plot against me, but I will study your teachings. 24 Your instructions give me pleasure; they are my advisers. 25 I lie defeated in the dust; revive me, as you have promised. 26 I confessed all I have done, and you answered me; teach me your ways. 27 Help me to understand your laws, and I will meditate on your wonderful teachings. 28 I am overcome by sorrow; strengthen me, as you have promised. 29 Keep me from going the wrong way, and in your goodness teach me your law. 30 I have chosen to be obedient; I have paid attention to your judgments. 31 I have followed your instructions, LORD; dont let me be put to shame. 32 I will eagerly obey your commands, because you will give me more understanding. Reflect Reread verses 25-29. For what does the psalmist pray? What does the psalmist promise (verses 30-32)? In what ways do you seek to understand God’s teachings? Pray!!

Open my eyes, so that I may see the wonderful truths in your law, and guide me this day to be obedient to your will. I pray for those who are seeking to understand God’s laws. In Jesus Name, Amen.
