Discipleship Devotional Study Guide – Becoming Like Christ – Day 323 – Psalm 119:161-168 – Love What You Reveal – Growing As Disciples

I’ve been slandered unmercifully by the politicians, but my awe at your words keeps me stable.  I’m ecstatic over what you say, like one who strikes it rich.  I hate lies—can’t stand them!— but I love what you have revealed.  Seven times each day I stop and shout praises for the way you keep everything running right.  For those who love what you reveal, everything fits— no stumbling around in the dark for them.  I wait expectantly for your salvation; GOD, I do what you tell me.  My soul guards and keeps all your instructions— oh, how much I love them!  I follow your directions, abide by your counsel; my life’s an open book before you.  Psalm 119:161-168 (MSG)

Your Word

What has my word revealed to you? How can I answer that question? Does that seem like a difficult question to you? No, it is not a difficult question. It is a question that has an almost unlimited amount of answers. Your word has done so much for me. Good, then you will have no difficulty in beginning to answer my question. I know that you cannot completely answer my question. Let me start by saying that I love your word. It is my joy and delight to hear from you. I am so thankful that you speak to me through your word. Your word has richly blessed my life. Being able to hear your instructions and follow your guidance has made me feel like I have struck it rich. Living by your counsel is guarding my life. Your word has made it so I will not stumble around in the darkness of this world. Your word has made me able to know and live by the truth. The entire course of my life is being guided by your word. How am I doing? Am I answering your question well, so far? Yes, you are doing very well, keep going. Yes, I feel like I have only begun. Your word is changing my heart. Your word is transforming my mind. Your word is forming all my thoughts, words and actions. Your word is making me able to stand against temptation and resist evil. Most importantly, your word has made me able to know and love and follow and serve you. Your word has shown me that you are both my Savior and Lord. Your word has shown me that I am your child. I have been adopted in your family. You have made me to be your own. There was a celebration in heaven on the day I turned my life over to you. I can keep going. That’s good. Hearing your word, has strengthened my faith. Your word is guiding my prayers. Your word has made me able to bear fruit for your kingdom and bring glory to your name. Your word has helped me to shine brightly for you in the darkness of this world. Your word has filled my heart with thanksgiving and praise to you. Yes, my word has done all these things and many more for you. Keep on meeting with me in my word. Yes Lord, I will. That will be very good. 

Lord, thank you for your word. I love to hear you speaking to me. Your word has been guarding and guiding the entire course of my life. I will receive your instruction and follow your direction as I abide by your counsel. Thank you for all your goodness to me. Amen

Discipleship Devotional Study Guide – Promises – Day 196- Psalm 119:161-168 – Have Great Peace – Growing As Disciples

Powerful people harass me without cause, but my heart trembles only at your word.  I rejoice in your word like one who discovers a great treasure.  I hate and abhor all falsehood, but I love your instructions.  I will praise you seven times a day because all your regulations are just.  Those who love your instructions have great peace and do not stumble.  I long for your rescue, LORD, so I have obeyed your commands.  I have obeyed your laws, for I love them very much.  Yes, I obey your commandments and laws because you know everything I do. Psalm 119:161-168 (NLT)  

Great Peace

Would you like your life to be filled with great peace? Would you like to be kept from stumbling? Yes, I would like both of those things to be true in my life. How can my life be filled with great peace? How can I be kept from stumbling? Take my word deep into your heart and mind and life. Value my word as a hidden treasure. Keep my word ever before you. Listen attentively to me. Allow my word to guard and guide your life. Follow and obey my word. Put my word into practice. Do not be only a hearer of my word. Be a doer of my word. Then you will have great peace. Then you will be kept from stumbling.

How can I go about taking your word deep into my heart and mind? How can I value your word as a hidden treasure? Meet with me daily in my word. Meditate on my word. Allow my word to change the thoughts of your mind. Allow my word to change the words of your mouth. Allow my word to change the actions of your life. My word will mold and shape you. My word will lead you on the path that I have laid out for you. Your heart will be changed, and mind transformed as you continue to meet with me in my word. So, set apart a time and place to meet with me in my word. Keep a daily appointment with me. Hunger for my word. Thirst for the life I have called you to live. Draw near to me and I will draw near to you. Hold on to my word. Put my word into practice as you love, follow and serve me. Then you will be filled with my great peace. Then you will be kept from stumbling. With a willing heart, filled with joy and gladness, this I will do. I will take your word deep into my heart and mind and life. That will be very good. Thank you, Lord.

Lord, I love your word. Your word is like a great treasure. Your word has protected me when I have been under attack. Your word has given me great peace. Your word has kept me from stumbling. I will follow and obey your word. Speak to me. I’m listening. Amen
