Episode 140: Psalm 119:1-38

Today's meditation is on Psalm 119 verses 1-38

I am only truly happy when I walk in total integrity in the light of your Word. Joy overwhelms me when I keep your ways, O God, and seek you as my heart's passion. I reject any compromise with evil and walk only in your paths. Your Word shows me the right way to live, and I want to follow your Word consistently. I will never be ashamed to follow you. Your Word gives me strength.

When you correct me, I show my thanks to you by living as I should. Help me to always obey and not to slip back into sin.

I can remain pure by reading your Word and walking in its truth. I will seek you always. Don’t let me wander off from your instructions. I keep your Word before my eyes and in my thoughts, storing it in my heart to keep me from being distracted by the things of this world.

Blessed Lord, teach me your rules. I speak your Word over my life, I rejoice in your Word more than in riches. I meditate upon it and give it my full attention. My delight is found in your Word, and I won't forget to walk in it. 

You have blessed me with abundance of life so that I can continue to obey you. Open my eyes to see the miracle-wonders you have hidden in your Word for me. I am but a pilgrim here on earth: how I need a map—and your commands are my chart and guide. I long for your instructions more than I can tell.

Even when others talk about me and mock me, I will continue to follow you.  Your Word is both my light and my counselor.

When I am discouraged, you revive me by your Word. I have poured out my life before you, telling you all of my plans, and you are always there for me. Give me your instructions, Lord. Teach me more of your holy ways. Open up my understanding to the ways of your wisdom, and I will meditate deeply on your splendor and your wonders, and I will see your miracles.

When I weep with grief; when my heart is heavy with sorrow; you encourage and cheer me with your Word. Keep me far away from what is false; give me grace to stay true to your ways, for I have chosen to obey your truth. I cling to your Word and follow it as closely as I can. Lord, don’t let me make a mess of my life. Help me to want your will, not my own. I will run after you with delight in my heart.

Just tell me what to do and I will do it, Lord. Give me revelation about the meaning of your ways so I can enjoy the reward of following them fully. Give me an understanding heart so I can passionately know and obey your truth. Guide me into the paths that please you, for I know how delightful they really are.

Help me to prefer obedience to making money! Turn me away from illusions so that I pursue only that which is true. Drench my soul with life as I walk in your paths. Revive my heart toward you. Reassure me that your promises are for me, for I am your beloved. 

Until next time, be blessed and be a blessing.
