Back to Blogging

After months (actually, more than a year) of not being able to access my blog after my computer froze when they were updating the way blogger operated, (It wasn't just my technological ineptitude, even my kids couldn't figure it out) I discovered I could access it from my laptop. Praise the Lord! Blogspot is much more user friendly than wordpress, so I am happy to be able to return to blogging here.


Last month I was reading in Psalm 119, probably my favorite--176 verses exalting the Word of God. What a blessing! We will be studying it this summer in our women's Bible study; I'm looking forward to it! Here are just a few of my favorite verses:


v.4--Thou hast ordained Thy precepts, that we should keep them diligently.

v.11--Thy word I have treasured in my heart, that I may not sin against Thee.

v.38--Establish Thy word to Thy servant, as that which produces reverence for Thee.

v.92--If Thy law had not been my delight, then I would have perished in my affliction.

v.128--Therefore I esteem right all Thy precepts concerning everything, I hate every false way.

v.140--Thy word is very pure, therefore Thy servant loves it.

v.160--The sum of Thy word is truth, and every one of Thy righteous ordinances is everlasting.

v.165--Those who love Thy law have great peace, and nothing causes them to stumble.

And here's the verse I've been praying this week--for myself, and those on my prayer list:

v.27--Make me understand the way of Thy precepts, so I will meditate on Thy wonders.

I would heartily recommend that you spend some time in this wonderful psalm. If you go to Believers Fellowship, sign up for the summer study, or at least get the material so you can study it on your own.

As you read this psalm, you can't help but notice the whole-hearted devotion of the psalmist to God and to His Word. As I pray verses from this psalm, I trust that the Lord will change my heart, and I might more consistently stand in awe of Thy words. (v. 161)

Hey Friend!! That's what I like to hear -- back to blogging! And I'm glad you could get back to this site as you have already posted so many great reminders from God's Word. And these verses from Psalm 119 that you have pulled out -- what a rich study and source of meditation! Needless to say, I hope I am one of those who is on your prayer list! :) Thanks for posting!
