Psalms 119:33-40
Dear brethren,
Good Wednesday morning!
Do you need help in your pursuit of righteousness? If you are like me, then you need help. The Bible teaches us that we cannot by ourselves find and maintain righteousness. (cf. Jeremiah 10:23) However, with a lot of help, we can know the way of righteousness through faith in Jesus Christ. (cf. Romans 3:21-23)
In Psalms 119:33-40, the writer petitioned the Lord for help. All of the verses are petitions for help. Here is what you will see: "Teach me," "Give me," "Make me walk," "Incline my heart," "Turn away my eyes," "revive me," "Establish Your word," "Turn away my reproach," and again "revive me." The writer clearly understood that serving Jehovah God could not be accomplised without God's help. We must be of the same understanding within our lives.
As you read this wonderful segment of scriptures, consider carefully the requests. Are you making the same requests within your own life? If the writer of Psalms 119 was King David, then we all know what troubles he had in his life. We also see his desire to serve the Lord. Let us make the same requests of our Lord and Savior, including the request found in verse 40, "Revive me in Your righteousness."
Here is Psalms 119:33-40 presented for your consideration.
33 Teach me, O LORD, the way of Your statutes, And I shall keep it to the end.
34 Give me understanding, and I shall keep Your law; Indeed, I shall observe it with my whole heart.
35 Make me walk in the path of Your commandments, For I delight in it.
36 Incline my heart to Your testimonies, And not to covetousness.
37 Turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things, And revive me in Your way.
38 Establish Your word to Your servant, Who is devoted to fearing You.
39 Turn away my reproach which I dread, For Your judgments are good.
40 Behold, I long for Your precepts; Revive me in Your righteousness.
In Love,
John Duvall
