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.

07/18 Psalm 119:66
I believe in your commands; now teach me good judgment and knowledge.
OBEDIENCE
Trust and obey is the only way to a successful life. Jesus seeks our best good. He knows what we need and when we need it. Give your heart to Jesus and He will never disappoint you.

07/17 Psalm 119:64-65
O LORD, the earth is full of your unfailing love; teach me your principles. 65 You have done many good things for me, LORD, just as you promised.
ACTIVE
The Lord is active in our life. He is seeking our best good. Surrender your heart and your time to Jesus and get to know Him. Read His Word and let it take root in your heart. Jesus is the difference in a life well lived. We come and go and Jesus takes us with Him into eternity when we leave this earth.

07/16 Psalm 119:61-63
Evil people try to drag me into sin, but I am firmly anchored to your law. 62 At midnight I rise to thank you for your just laws. 63 Anyone who fears you is my friend — anyone who obeys your commandments.
OBEDIENCE
Obedience is the mark of a faithful servant. We want to be faithful servants therefore we will obey Him. Obedience is not logic it is surrender. Christ lays out what I am to do and how I should do it. It is important for me to understand that His wisdom isn’t for us to debate rather it is for us to obey. Trust the Lord and Obey Him.
