Psalm 119:25-32

Read Psalm 119:25-32

In our last look at Psalm 119, we are going to look at verses to do with when we are struggling.

v25: the psalmist is realistic because we may not always be rejoicing. Sometimes you need revival and you can find this in the Word. In situations of burden, return to the Scriptures and it will bring us back to life again. 

v26: we declare our way to the Lord, not to the world. It's not important to tell the world what we have done, but what the Lord has done.

v27: again, we can share what we have learnt. 

v29: lying is a problem that is really active today, and we should have nothing to do with it because the Word is the truth. 

v30: we need to choose the way of truth and choose the way of faithfulness. We are not on this path by chance. 

v31: hold fast to these things. Don't let them go! 

v32: to enlarge our hearts is to give them freedom. People are always looking for freedom and we can find it in the Word of God. 

So, as a final note, study the Word of God. If we do, we will have help for the path here. Look for Him and you will find the answers! 


Saviour lead us by Thy power
Safe into the promised rest;
Choose the path, the way whatever,
Seems to Thee, O Lord, the best;
Be our guide in every peril,
Watch and keep us night and day,
Else our foolish hearts will wander
From the strait and narrow way.
 
Since in Thee is our redemption
And salvation full and free,
Nothing need our souls dishearten
But forgetfulness of Thee;
Nought can stay our steady progress,
More than conquerors we shall be,
If our eye, whate'er the danger,
Looks to Thee, and none but Thee.

In Thy presence we are happy,
In Thy presence we're secure;
In Thy presence all afflictions
We can easily endure;
In Thy presence we can conquer,
We can suffer, we can die;
Wandering from Thee, we are feeble;
Let Thy love, Lord, keep us nigh.
