Today’s Scripture
My passion and delight is in your word, for I love what you say to me! I long for more revelation of your truth, for I love the light of your word as I meditate on your decrees. Lord, never forget the promises you’ve made to me, for they are my hope and confidence. In all of my affliction I find great comfort in your promises, for they have kept me alive! No matter how bitterly the proud mockers speak against me, I refuse to budge from your precepts. Your revelation-light is eternal; I’m encouraged every time I think about your truth! Whenever I see the wicked breaking your laws, I feel horrible. As I journey through life, I put all your statutes to music; they become the theme of my joyous songs. Throughout the night I think of you, dear God; I treasure your every word to me. All this joy is mine as I follow your ways! You are my satisfaction, Lord, and all that I need, so I’m determined to do everything you say. With all my heart I seek your favor; pour out your grace on me as you promised! When I realize that I’m going astray, I turn back to obey your instructions. I give my all to follow your revelation-light; I will not delay to obey. Even when temptations encircle me with evil, I won’t forget for a moment to follow your commands. In the middle of the night I awake to give thanks to you because of all your revelation-light; so right and true!
Psalm 119:47-62
Today’s Thought
Don’t delay to obey God and His words… It’s easy to stray away from God when things get hard and even easier when you’re surrounded by temptation… Become determined to obey and seek God’s Word out when you feel like you’re going astray…
Today’s Confession
Thank you, Lord, for your Word. Thank you that you have provided so much valuable instruction for me for every area of my life in your Word. Thank you that I can walk in obedience in your Word and follow after you even when things are tough and temptation is all around me. Increase my desire to obey your Word and help me to follow after you all the days of my life!
