Monday! Monday! As a normal course of reading, we refresh ourselves every Monday with a selection from Psalm 119… which is the longest chapter in the Bible. Old Testament reading can face some harsh things at times, and infusing it with these beautiful, wise, life-giving Scriptures adds balance.
Unfortunately, I have been a bit under the weather, and behind in posting, so please excuse the fact that today is not Monday at all, as I catch up.
Read Psalm 119:17-32 – Then read it again, slowly, as if the words are yours. Our psalmist is leaning in to the Lord’s word. He is refreshed. He is learning to live brand new and it is wonderful! “Be good to your servant, that I may live and obey your word. Open my eyes to see the wonderful truths in your instructions.” 119:17-18….”I weep with sorrow; encourage me by your word .”119:28 Have you ever felt so bogged down by life that you cried out for wisdom? “Keep me from lying to myself; give me the privilege of knowing your instructions.”119:29 Yes, I can be my worst enemy, I can justify and get lost in lying to myself – and yet, here is this privilege – this privilege of God’s Word – this privilege of prayer, always ready to lead me forward. “I will pursue your commands, for you expand my understanding.”119:32
Beloved, Jesus has so much for you! Lean in, ask, pray, confess and repent… living clean and refreshed is the absolute best!🤗🛁🙏🏻📖🙏🏻🛁🤗
