Psalm 119

God has always blessed me as I’ve read and studied Psalm 119. Everything you want to know about what His Word will do for you are written in these 176 verses. Usually I’ll read 2-3 sections at a time and write down what each section is telling the Word will do in me and through me.
So many times we flippantly throw out to people that God is gonna bless them if they do this or that…NOT TRUE…God will bless you and me as we do our best to live blameless lives in obedience to His Word.
This section (vs. 1-8) make it very clear…Blessings from God are given from a desire to obey to His Word. This Psalmist had times of struggles and sin but went to God with a desire to know what is sin, repent and learn to overcome…obey!
If you want a blessing look at your heart today…ask the Lord if what you see is a sin…seek His forgiveness and strength to overcome. God will bless the life that seeks to obey! Stay tuned…next week we’ll look at another aspect of God’s blessings
