09/13               Psalm 119:97-104

97 Oh, how I love your instructions! I think about them all day long.  98 Your commands make me wiser than my enemies, for they are my constant guide.  99 Yes, I have more insight than my teachers, for I am always thinking of your laws.  100 I am even wiser than my elders, for I have kept your commandments. 101 I have refused to walk on any evil path, so that I may remain obedient to your word.  102 I haven’t turned away from your regulations, for you have taught me well. 103 How sweet your words taste to me; they are sweeter than honey.  104 Your commandments give me understanding; no wonder I hate every false way of life. 

REMEMBER

Lord I remember You.  Your presence.  Your power.  Your Word that so totally teaches Your way.  Help me to love your Way and to hate the evil way. 

09/12               Psalm 119:89-96

89 Your eternal word, O LORD, stands firm in heaven.  90 Your faithfulness extends to every generation, as enduring as the earth you created. 91 Your regulations remain true to this day, for everything serves your plans. 92 If your instructions hadn’t sustained me with joy, I would have died in my misery. 93 I will never forget your commandments, for by them you give me life.  94 I am yours; rescue me! For I have worked hard at obeying your commandments.  95 Though the wicked hide along the way to kill me, I will quietly keep my mind on your laws. 96 Even perfection has its limits, but your commands have no limit. 

ETERNAL

Your Word is true and everlasting Lord.  Your faithfulness is forever and is always increasing towards us.  Forgive me Lord for my unfaithfulness and for Your nudging me back in line.  I would not have survived if not for Your intervention Lord.  Thank You for actively guiding me. 

09/11               Psalm 119:81-88

81 I am worn out waiting for your rescue, but I have put my hope in your word.  82 My eyes are straining to see your promises come true. When will you comfort me? 83 I am shriveled like a wineskin in the smoke, but I have not forgotten to obey your decrees. 84 How long must I wait? When will you punish those who persecute me? 85 These arrogant people who hate your instructions have dug deep pits to trap me.  86 All your commands are trustworthy. Protect me from those who hunt me down without cause.  87 They almost finished me off, but I refused to abandon your commandments.  88 In your unfailing love, spare my life; then I can continue to obey your laws. 

BELIEVE

I believe Lord!  I read Your Word and claim Your promises.  Obedience is uppermost in my mind.  Help me so I can continue to obey Your laws.  When I fail please forgive me.  I believe Lord, HELP my unbelief. 

09/10               Psalm 119:73-80

73 You made me; you created me. Now give me the sense to follow your commands. 74May all who fear you find in me a cause for joy, for I have put my hope in your word. 75 I know, O LORD, that your regulations are fair; you disciplined me because I needed it. 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 instructions are my delight. 78 Bring disgrace upon the arrogant people who lied about me; meanwhile, I will concentrate on your commandments.  79 Let me be united with all who fear you, with those who know your laws. 80 May I be blameless in keeping your decrees; then I will never be ashamed. 

FEAR

I stand with those that fear You Lord.  You are worthy of all respect, honor and devotion and I strive to grow closer to You. You are Lord and I am not and I know that.  Your mercies are new and fresh every day.  I am more than thankful for that. 

09/09               Psalm 119:65-72

65 You have done many good things for me, LORD, just as you promised. 66 I believe in your commands; now teach me good judgment and knowledge. 67 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 decrees. 69 Arrogant people smear me with lies, but in truth I obey your commandments with all my heart. 70 Their hearts are dull and stupid, but I delight in your instructions. 71 My suffering was good for me, for it taught me to pay attention to your decrees. 72 Your instructions are more valuable to me than millions in gold and silver. 

STAY

Lord, You’ve trained me to stay close to YOU.  I do that now.  I rejoice in Your instructions and Your love for me.  Thank You Father.  I follow You moment by moment!

FOCUSED
