Blessed

Ps. 119:37 Turn my eyes from looking at worthless things; and give me life in your ways.
Ps. 119:50 This is my comfort in my affliction that your promise gives me life.
Psalm 119 celebrates the gift of God's Torah, or covenant instruction, as the perfect guide for life. As a Christ follower, this is the way I feel about the bible, God's word. It has principles for us to learn and live by and to teach others. We need to study His word and keep it in our heart and memory. It will give us an insight into God's ways. We will not totally understand God's plans for us until Jesus returns to take us home. We will dwell with Him and He will give us wisdom. We must always be aware of the world's pull on us and our desire for worthless things. His words and His Spirit comfort us in every circumstance.
Lord, you are our comforter, friend and king. We long for Your return but until then, guide us through Your word and Spirit. We ask for your grace and mercy for all our failures. Teach us to love like You love and show mercy like You do. Open our eyes to the misery around us so that we may be Your hands and feet. Lord, we are only in our life circumstance by Your grace. May we never think we are above any other person. Let us always be grateful for every day we have to serve You. Amen
