”The
statutes you have laid down are righteous; they are fully trustworthy.” (Psalm 119: 138 NIV)
The boundaries that God establishes are
grounded in compassion and faithfulness. The Psalmist knows this well!
Therefore he dares to pray in the verses preceding today’s reading;
-
Make
your face shine upon your servant and teach me your decrees. (verse 135)
-
Direct
my footsteps according to your word; let no sin rule over me.(verse 133)
-
I am
your servant; give me discernment that I may understand your statutes.(verse
125)
-
The
unfolding of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple. (verse 130)
We have the same assurance that God cares
for us, and pray that He will mould us in the fashion He deems good.
Prayer
Jesus, I pray that You will teach me Your
commands. I pray that no evil will have power over me. I pray that You will
give me understanding so that I can receive Your Word. Thank You for allowing
me to be Your servant today.
