Psalm 119

Every verse in this psalm talks about the word of God - his commands, statutes, precepts, laws, decrees, promise. I could see how the psalmist had such a passion and love for God's word that he wrote about it through 176 verses.

I want to share three verses. First one is "Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in your law." I think it's really easy to make this quiet time to be part of our daily routine or habit. So that we could justify ourselves saying we read the bible like a good Christian. But that is not what God wants us to do. He wants us to truly see and experience his wonderful promise in our lives. I pray that he will give us understanding so that we will meet him in a personal way whenever we read his word.

"My comfort in my suffering is this; Your promise preserves my life." "You are my refuge and my shield; I have put my hope in your word." I am once again reminded that God's word, which is God himself, alone sustains my life. Because of my circumstances, I do feel that I am suffering just like many other Christians - feeling discouraged at times. But God is telling me to find comfort and put my hope in his word. Let us remember to do that from this day on. Whenever we feel down and hopeless, let us turn to God's word which is eternal.
