08/24 Psalm 119:102-103
I haven’t turned away from your laws, for you have taught me well. 103 How sweet are your words to my taste; they are sweeter than honey.
SWEET
His Word is sweet as it blesses us. His Word is sweet as the Lord functions in our life. He gives me light and life, instilling in me His peace and joy. The Lord is good and He is faithful every day of our life and then into eternity. Fear not for the Lord is with us.

08/23 Psalm 119:99-101
Yes, I have more insight than my teachers, for I am always thinking of your decrees. 100 I am even wiser than my elders, for I have kept your commandments. 101 I have refused to walk on any path of evil, that I may remain obedient to your word.
FOCUS
When the Lord is our focus we have life and light for living. He is the King and will lead us in the right way when we surrender our life to Him. Jesus is Lord. Give Him your heart and He will change you.
08/22 Psalm 119:97-98
Oh, how I love your law! I think about it all day long. 98 Your commands make me wiser than my enemies, for your commands are my constant guide.
GUIDE
The Lord is always with us. His Word guides our path and equips us to meditate on Him. The Lord is our joy. He is here with you and me right now. Trust in the Lord and He will do it.
08/21 Psalm 119:95-96
Though the wicked hide along the way to kill me, I will quietly keep my mind on your decrees. 96 Even perfection has its limits, but your commands have no limit.
TRUST
Do not allow physical circumstances to steal your confidence in the Lord. Trust and obey and He will show you the way. He is our life and light. Trust in Jesus as you live your daily life. Our Salvation is now and He is with us. Rejoice in the Lord always.
08/20 Psalm 119:92-94
If your law hadn’t sustained me with joy, I would have died in my misery. 93 I will never forget your commandments, for you have used them to restore my joy and health. 94 I am yours; save me! For I have applied myself to obey your commandments.
YES
The Lord does save us and He will save us each day into eternity. Today is the Lord’s Day therefore you can rejoice in it. Take your troubles to the Lord and He will fix them.
08/26 Psalm 119:105-106
Your word is a lamp for my feet and a light for my path. 106 I’ve promised it once, and I’ll promise again: I will obey your wonderful laws.
OBEY
Be doers of the Word and not just hearers. His Word will give us the strength to do as the Lord says but we have to be quick to obey. The longer we wait upon obedience the harder it is to trust the Lord. The World is constantly seeking to obstruct us. When we ignore obedience it becomes harder to obey the Lord. Obey Him now.
08/19 Psalm 119:91
Your laws remain true today, for everything serves your plans.
WORLD
The world does not determine what is true and just. The mores of society that mitigate against the Lord God are immoral. Our heart is not equipped to make lasting moral judgments unless it is the Lord Jesus guiding us. God is the Lord and He has decided what is right and what is wrong. Our position is not sit in judgment of God but simply to do what He says.
08/18 Psalm 119:89-90
Forever, O LORD, your word stands firm in heaven. 90 Your faithfulness extends to every generation, as enduring as the earth you created.
NOW
We are now people. Our ancestors do not determine our relationship with the Lord. We determine our own relationship. Every tub sets on its own bottom. What we do in our relationship with the Lord Jesus is the determining factor for our membership in God’s family. Now is the time of salvation. Now is the time to get things right with the Lord.
08/17 Luke 6:46
“So why do you call me ‘Lord,’ when you won’t obey me? 47 I will show you what it’s like when someone comes to me, listens to my teaching, and then obeys me. 48 It is like a person who builds a house on a strong foundation laid upon the underlying rock. When the floodwaters rise and break against the house, it stands firm because it is well built. 49 But anyone who listens and doesn’t obey is like a person who builds a house without a foundation. When the floods sweep down against that house, it will crumble into a heap of ruins.”
OBEY
We want to obey the Lord. Establishing a pattern of obedience requires me to listen to the Lord, read His Word and then do what He says. This is a good habit and is a habit that is critical to our spiritual growth. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Be a doer of the Word not just a hearer.
08/16 Luke 6:45
A good person produces good deeds from a good heart, and an evil person produces evil deeds from an evil heart. Whatever is in your heart determines what you say.
DO
What do you do in your daily life? Are you regularly in the Scripture? Do you have an appointed quiet time? Are you faithfully obedient to the Lord? Look at your life. A good heart is filled with Jesus. A good heart surrenders to our Lord and Master Jesus Christ.
