God's Word

Psalm 119:1-3
Blessed are they whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the law of the LORD. Blessed are they who keep his statutes and seek him with all their heart. They do nothing wrong; they walk in his ways.

I have been seeking to fan the flame of my desire for God’s Word these days, and have therefore been drawn to Psalm 119. I love how this Psalm reminds us of the beauty and benefits of being in the Word, and following its statutes. In this time of stress and high-activity it is good for me to remember the sweet joy of simply spending time with God in Scripture. Not for study, not for writing, just for the pure enjoyment of Jesus.

Immediately, Psalm 119 reminds us that we are blessed when we walk according to the Word, when we keep God’s statutes and seek Him. In all that we do, we must look to Him and His Word for guidance.

This passage tells us our ways should be blameless when walking “according to the law of the LORD.” In fact, we are blameless in the sight of God, thanks to the work of Christ on the cross. As a result of that work, our thankfulness and love should give us motivation to keep His statutes and to continue seeking Him with all our hearts. When we walk in His ways, we do nothing wrong…if only we could do this every moment of every day! Amen?

Run to the Word of God, find hope, encouragement, and strength in the sweet pages of Scripture. Seek God with all your heart, and let His Word guide your every step today!
