based on the Love God Greatly Study, Psalm 119, Seeking Him With All Our Heart/ w2d2
THE JOURNEY (SCRIPTURE AND OBSERVATION)
Scripture: Psalm 119:33-35/ SOAP 33-35
Teach me, O Lord, the lifestyle prescribed by your statutes,
Psalm 119:33-35
so that I might observe it continually.
34 Give me understanding so that I might observe your law,
and keep it with all my heart.
35 Guide me in the path of your commands,
for I delight to walk in it.
We are dependent on God to teach us His Word and give us an understanding of it. When He does, and He will, we are to respond accordingly. Like the Psalmist, we are to put into practice what God teaches us with all of our being. To do any less will rob us of the promised joy that comes from following God’s instructions,
If we are to experience the happiness found in following God’s commands, we must depend on His guidance and discipline.
Living the Journey(Application)
Don’t be afraid to ask God for help. Be bold and specific with your needs and requests. This is not only what He desires from us but it is also cathartic for us.
- Learn God’s decrees
- don’t just read them – seek to learn them
- don’t just seek to understand them – put them into practice
- depend on God for everything –
Prayer for the Journey
Father, we pray as the Psalmist did – that you will teach us, O Lord, the lifestyle prescribed by your statutes so that we might observe it continually.
