찬송 : 찬송가 212장 (새찬송가 420장)
2025-05-01 [시편(Psalm) 119:1 - 119:16]

1	Blessed are those whose way is blameless, who walk in the law of the LORD!
2	Blessed are those who keep his testimonies, who seek him with their whole heart,
3	who also do no wrong, but walk in his ways!
4	You have commanded your precepts to be kept diligently.
5	Oh that my ways may be steadfast in keeping your statutes!
6	Then I shall not be put to shame, having my eyes fixed on all your commandments.
7	I will praise you with an upright heart, when I learn your righteous rules.
8	I will keep your statutes; do not utterly forsake me!
9	How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to your word.
10	With my whole heart I seek you; let me not wander from your commandments!
11	I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.
12	Blessed are you, O LORD; teach me your statutes!
13	With my lips I declare all the rules of your mouth.
14	In the way of your testimonies I delight as much as in all riches.
15	I will meditate on your precepts and fix my eyes on your ways.
16	I will delight in your statutes; I will not forget your word.

Thinking & Understanding
The man who seeks God with all his heart and lives righteously according to his Word is blessed. The psalmist resolved to internalize God's Word and expressed his deep appreciation for learning God's righteous judgments. He also hoped to walk closely with God by keeping the Word and obeying his commands (vv. 1-8). His desire was to live without sin before God, and so he requested the Lord to reveal his Word more fully to him. The psalmist delighted in speaking and living out the Word with his whole being rather than possessing great earthly treasures (vv. 9-16).

What lesson is God teaching me?
Vv. 1-4 Those who are blessed in God's sight are not satisfied with the things of earth but in the law of God. They lead a righteous life as they follow the Word without compromise. God's people must walk a life that is centred on his Word. The truly blessed path is one where Scripture is on our lips, treasured in our hearts, and fully obeyed with all our being.

Vv. 12-16 For the psalmist, the Word of the Lord was not dead; it was alive and inseparable from himself. God is constantly teaching us with his Word. As we repeat the Word with our lips, meditate on his statutes, walk in his ways, and remember his laws with joy, these form a sense of continuity in our lives. What depth and significance does the Word hold for me?

Prayer
Lord, help me live this day, meditating and living out your Word as I seek you wholeheartedly.
