Beloved, I am glad to share with you today, the Law of God, from A through Z as we read it in Psalms 119. this book of Psalms and particularly its chapter 119 is the longest, and reveals a number of truths to us. As a matter of fact, its shape displays 22 strophes of 8 verses each, each strophe starting with a letter of the Hebrew alphabet.
Secondly, this style unveils the mystery of the Word of God and also its spiritual, moral, theological and psychological dimensions, which for those reasons, justifies wisdom and inscrutable wealth that you may find in it, as well as the might of salvation that asserts itself with strength in this Holy Scripture.
These first sixteen verses teach us on human behaviour that is expected from the Almighty God. It’s about passing on law and love of God’s will to the youth by preaching through example for a better result: a way to follow and an example to the youth.
The agreeable behaviour to the Lord is to live according to the Word of God. It is worth mentioning that your heart is the symbolic siege of reflecting, decision making and prayer. Following your heart means making a firm decision and looking for good.
Sticking to the Law brings joy and wealth. This recommendation to the youth should be an opportunity that King David has experienced himself.
ALEPH
1 Happy are they who are without sin in their ways, walking in the law of the Lord.
2 Happy are they who keep his unchanging word, searching after him with all their heart.
3 They do no evil; they go in his ways.
4 You have put your orders into our hearts, so that we might keep them with care.
5 If only my ways were ordered so that I might keep your rules!
6 Then I would not be put to shame, as long as I have respect for all your teaching.
7 I will give you praise with an upright heart in learning your right decisions.
8 I will keep your rules: O give me not up completely.
BETH
9 How may a young man make his way clean? by guiding it after your word.
10 I have made search for you with all my heart: O let me not go wandering far from your teaching.
11 I have kept your sayings secretly in my heart, so that I might do no sin against you.
12 Praise be to you, O Lord: give me knowledge of your rules.
13 With my lips have I made clear all the decisions of your mouth.
14 I have taken as much delight in the way of your unchanging word, as in all wealth.
15 I will give thought to your orders, and have respect for your ways.
16 I will have delight in your rules; I will not let your word go out of my mind.
Our prayer is that all of you be granted wisdom, wealth and fear of the Almighty Lord God.
PRAYER OF ACCEPTANCE OF JESUS CHRIST AS LORD AND PERSONAL SAVIOR
I now invite anyone who wants to become a new creation by walking in the truth, to pray with me as follows :
Lord Jesus, I have long walked in the lusts of the world ignoring your love for humans. I acknowledge that I have sinned against you and ask forgiveness for all my sins, because today I have decided to give you my life by taking you as my Lord and personal Savior. I acknowledge that you died on the cross of Calvary and that you rose from the dead for me.
I am now saved and born again by the power of the Holy Spirit. Lead me each day to eternal life you give to all who obey your Word. Reveal to me and strengthen my heart and my faith so that your light may shine in my life right now.
Thank you, Lord Jesus, for accepting me in your divine family so that I too can contemplate the wonders of your kingdom.
I will now choose a nearby waterpoint to baptize myself by immersion, in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
To you all adoration, power, and glory, now and forever and ever. Amen!
I would be glad to revert on your queries as necessary before sharing the following week on the next two strophes on the passion for the Law that leads us to crossroad.
May the Almighty Lord bless you in abundance.
David Feze, Servant of the Almighty God.
