11/12/26 There have been so many times even today where I have needed this. The walk of faith is one of privilege because we have the Lord teaching us every day. Kind David understood this well and reading Psalms 119 reflects so very quickly. David prayed in his heart before God; Throughout our daily trials and temptations, we are strengthened by His spirit and quickened by His word. This comes as a direct effect or our hearing God’s word, accepting it, and producing a crop. This is us being tied to the truth of God.
“You have commanded us To keep your precepts diligently. Oh that my ways were directed to keep Your statutes!” Psa. 119:4-5
David prays in earnest having come to know God personally through reaching out to him earlier in His life, through trial and blessing.
“With my whole heart I have sought you; Oh, do not let me wander from Your commandments” Psa. 119:10
The Lord instructed David in His own heart and by the Holy Spirit Jesus instructs us now through God’s blessing. What an honor that a High King of Heaven would teach us in our hearts and minds. We are lowly but His word sits us in the heavens.
“I am a stranger in the earth. Do not hide your commands from me.” Psa. 119:19
“Your testimonies are my delight. 😊 And my counselors” Psa. 119:24
“I will run in the course of Your commandments. For You shall enlarge my heart” Psa. 119:32
My heart longs to be right with God and Only His strength 💪 will enable it.
It is not a an issue of “some people have it and some poeple don’t”. It’s more of an issue of us as individuals crying out in desperation, “Help me, God…Help me, Rebekah…today, I ask you for Your mercy on my life. Teach me through your word, and help me in my understanding and help my conscience today. Renew me by Your spirit that is alive. Help me like you helped the people in the Bible, like you’re helping people all over the world who call on your name. No other name given to men that they may be saved! Jesus!
