Let me tell you about spiritual chain reaction that has the power to transform our lives. It begins in verses 169. Prayer leads to understanding. This is the first part of the chain reaction. Do you pray for understanding as you read your Bible? Do you pray, “Open my eyes, that I may see wonders things from Thy law” (Ps.119:18)?

Next, understanding leads to freedom (v.170). The psalmist asks for the freedom that comes from the truth of God. Jesus said, “You shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free” (John 8:32). The greatest bondage in the world is the bondage the lies. If you believe in lie, you are in slavery; but if you believe God’s truth, you live in freedom.

The third stage in the spiritual chain reaction is found in versus 171. Freedom leads to praise. When we understand the statutes of God, we can sing: knowing His Word makes us want to praise Him.

Finally, praise leads to witnessing (v.172). As a result of our witness, people may come to know Jesus Christ as the saviour.

Read the Word of God and pray, and let the Spirit begin this life-transforming chain reaction in your life.
