07/28 Psalm 119:80
May I be blameless in keeping your principles; then I will never have to be ashamed.
WISDOM
We need wisdom so that we will live Godly lives. Even though we are members of the Lord’s household we still get blinded by sin. Wisdom is needed to rip away that blindness. His wisdom is needed to walk in the light. Ask the Lord to give you what you need to live your life in Christ. Focus on Jesus.

07/27 Psalm 119:78-79
Bring disgrace upon the arrogant people who lied about me; meanwhile, I will concentrate on your commandments. 79 Let me be reconciled with all who fear you and know your decrees.
BE
God calls us to be Christ focused. Tell Him your troubles and focus on Him not your troubles. Be reconciled with those you are journeying through life with. Peace and harmony are evidences of the Lord’s presence. Love the Lord with all of your heart and love and treat your brothers and sisters as you would yourself. Jesus is Lord. Surrender your life to Him.
07/26 Psalm 119:76
Now let your unfailing love comfort me, just as you promised me, your servant. 77 Surround me with your tender mercies so I may live, for your law is my delight.
PROMISED
The Lord has promised you that His love would not fail. He will comfort you in all circumstances. Ask the Lord to help you discover His great love for you. Once you know it and realize that His love is unfailing your life is changed into eternity.
07/25 Psalm 119:75
I know, O LORD, that your decisions are fair; you disciplined me because I needed it.
DISCIPLINE
We can discipline ourselves or the Lord can discipline us. His discipline is for our best good. He will do what He has to do to get our attention. When you feel the Lord is disciplining you take stock of what is going on and why you are being disciplined. Bend your knee in submission and repent. Return to Him as soon as you realize what is going on. Seek His advice and direction and do what the Lord says.
07/24 Psalm 119:74
May all who fear you find in me a cause for joy, for I have put my hope in your word.
JOY
Put your hope in Jesus and you will have reason for joy. The Lord will fill you with His joy that is everlasting. The Lord is good and He is worthy of all of our praise, honor and devotion.
07/23 Psalm 119:72-73
Your law is more valuable to me than millions in gold and silver! 73 You made me; you created me. Now give me the sense to follow your commands.
OBEDIENCE
Our obedience comes when we surrender to the Lord and even when we don’t understand why we should do something we do it. Wisdom is the willingness to do what the Lord says and then to take the action of obedience. Do the next right thing and you will grow in wisdom and understanding.
07/22 Psalm 119:71
The suffering you sent was good for me, for it taught me to pay attention to your principles.
SUFFERING
We seldom understand God’s work in the midst of suffering and even later we will not have a clear idea of what went on but do not despair. Life is hard and suffering is something that everyone experiences. Often times it appears so unfair but remember that the Lord is the ONE who can redeem a bad situation
As we look in the rear view mirror of life we will sometimes see much later the work that the Lord did in us thru suffering.
07/21 Psalm 119:70
Their hearts are dull and stupid, but I delight in your law.
WISDOM
Wisdom comes through our surrender to Christ. He saves us and gives us a new heart and a new family, the family of God. As a member of the Lord’s family I receive wisdom daily sometimes moment by moment from the Lord.
07/20 Psalm 119:69
Arrogant people have made up lies about me, but in truth I obey your commandments with all my heart.
ONLY
Lord You are the only One that knows my heart and I surrender to You. Keep me safe in Your arms and equip be to function and survive when under an untruthful attack. Lead me in the everlasting way as only You can do.
07/19 Psalm 119:67-68
I used to wander off until you disciplined me; but now I closely follow your word. 68 You are good and do only good; teach me your principles.
TEACH
Teach me Lord to not wander off from you, to listen as you speak and to obey what you say. My heart despairs so easily please give me endurance. Obstacles easily defeat me please give me strength and wisdom to stand my ground and move forward. Your love Lord undergirds all that I do. Thank you Lord for teaching me.
