The Lord’s instruction, testimony, precepts, command, (fear of), and ordinances lead to:
-renewing of one’s life
-making the inexperienced wise
-making the heart glad
-making the eyes light up
-they endure forever
I’ve been learning to obey because I am already accepted, not that I obey therefore I am accepted. This passage reminded me how sweet is can be to obey the Lord… his decrees are more precious than gold and sweeter than honeycombs… his commands are radiant and give light.
“The Lord is the rock and my fortress”. I mean, this is so incredibly powerful. It was exactly what I needed to hear today. Despite difficult times, I know I can rely on the Lord to bring me through.
18:6 shows us how he hears our prayers even if it seems as if He’s on the other end of the world. When we are going through troubled times we tend to think “God is not with me” or “He doesn’t hear me” but his word says he is near the broken hearted. All we have to do is cry out to him because walking with God is not based on whether if I feel him = He is with me. It is based on if I feel him or not He is there and we will hear my cry.
30God — his way is perfect;
the word of the Lord is pure.
He is a shield to all who take refuge in him.

Thank you, Lord, for these gifts

I loved this entrance as well. It really speaks to the position our hearts and minds should be in throughout the day.
I love this psalm is a declaration of Gods protection in our lives.
