Beloved, I am glad to share with you today, the next two strophes of Psalms 119 pertaining to two important aspects: making the most of life with wisdom in a certain way, and getting a word servicing the Word of God.
As a matter of fact, the path of the divine law, apparently more austere, possesses after all important blessings, particularly peace that comes to him that commit himself and which leads to true life. A life running only for satisfying desires or instincts, ends by deceiving. Then rises another desire, that of a sure and deeper path.
Liking, pronouncing and spreading God’s commandments, this is the commitment being kept by the faithful, so as to witness only just, all the way to the kings of this world. His is the unshakeable trust in the Word of God. Voices should raise to let people hear love of the divine word of God as well as its liberating power.

Psalms 119:33 O Lord, let me see the way of your rules, and I will keep it to the end.
34 Give me wisdom, so that I may keep your law; going after it with all my heart.
35 Make me go in the way of your teachings; for they are my delight.
36 Let my heart be turned to your unchanging word, and not to evil desire.
37 Let my eyes be turned away from what is false; give me life in your ways.
38 Give effect to your word to your servant, in whose heart is the fear of you.
39 Take away the shame which is my fear; for your decisions are good.
40 See how great is my desire for your orders: give me life in your righteousness.
VAU
41 Let your mercies come to me, O Lord, even your salvation, as you have said.
42 So that I may have an answer for the man who would put me to shame; for I have faith in your word.
43 Take not your true word quite out of my mouth; for I have put my hope in your decisions.
44 So that I may keep your law for ever and ever;
45 So that my way may be in a wide place: because my search has been for your orders.
46 So that I may give knowledge of your unchanging word before kings, and not be put to shame.
47 And so that I may take delight in your teachings, to which I have given my love.
48 And so that my hands may be stretched out to you; and I will give thought to your rules.
Our prayer is that the Almighty Lord pour important blessings on all of you.
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 next week on the zeal that is required for the Law of the Lord, and the priority to be given to it.
May the Almighty God bless you in abundance.
David Feze, Servant of the Almighty Lord.
