Good Morning!
I completely missed Lisa's tweet yesterday of how we would go through Psalm 119. :o( At least we had the same idea and will do it by sections. :o)
Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: Psalm 119 is HUGE! There are 22 sections each headed by a letter from the Hebrew alphabet. We will go thru 119 section by section - get ready!
Here we go - section 2 - 119: 9-16
Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: Psalm 119:9-16: There is only 1 reason to be pure: God teaches that He commands it. As we obey that, we see that our lives are ruled by peace.
Verse 9 states it pretty matter of fact - how can you keep yourself pure? - by living according to God's Word! Verse 10 says that we need to seek Him with all our heart. Verse 11 is a well known verse and if you haven't already, it is a good one to memorize: "I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you."
Memorization of scripture is not always easy, but it is rewarding. It's in tough time, times of joy and laughter that you can recall a verse or two that you have memorized and they bring you comfort, or direction, or laughter. Let's start slow and gain momentum - memorize a verse a week (7 days) and then add more as you feel comfortable. You may stay at one a week for quite some time, but at least you will have verses memorized! Do you journal? Write the verse at the top of each page of your journal as you go through the week. It will help!
Verses 12 through 16 are about being in the Word. Learning what God has to say! Rejoicing in the opportunity to follow Him through His Word. A quiet time with Him as you meditate on His Word. It is important!
Which verse will you start today? Verse 11?
Have a great day!
