Reflections

We wrap up Psalm 119 in this episode. It has been a long, but good journey through this chapter. Here the Psalmist tells us about the requests he is bringing to God. Are they requests we should also be bringing to God? This is followed by praise, but not just a little praise, thanking God seven times, clearly being intentional in letting Him know how grateful we are. Are we doing that? 

The journey in Psalm 119 continues through this episode. Here the Psalmist tells us that he is coming to God with his whole heart. Crying to God about what is occurring in his life. We see him go on to ask God to make him alive in Him. Are we in our lives honestly coming before God, letting Him know our struggles and asking that He make us alive? 

We continue our journey through Psalm 119 in this episode. The focus here is personal reflection. I read the Psalm and mentioned how it helped my personal reflection time with God and impacted my life and then turn it to you for contemplation in your life. 

The journey through Psalm 119 continues in the episode. The Psalmist tells us here that God's word is a lamp to his feet and a light to his path. THis led us to discuss, are we listening and close enough to God's word that He is lighting our life and path? Are there ways we should be improving?  

We continue walking through Psalm 119 in this episode. Here the Psalmist tells us that he has a greater understanding that the ancient philosophers and his teachers. Join me to learn why he says that and if this is the knowledge that you and I can also have in our lives. 

The journey through Psalm 119 continues. There truly are so many gems of truth to understand as we walk through these different sections. Here we see the Psalmist tell us about the tough time he is going through, the people who are against him. This led to the trials Job faced. Then an understanding of why we experience pain and how in the end it is good for us and brings us closer to God. He doesn't do anything without a purpose and He provides comfort in the tough seasons. Are we leaning into Him? 

The journey in Psalm 119 is a long one, but an informative one which we continue in this episode. Here the Psalmist talks about God being more important that thousands of gold or silver. When we find Him and lean into His presence, we get the opportunity to not only have our debt paid and our sins washed away, but we also get to spend eternity with Him. A truly wonderful promise to hold and look forward to in our lives. 

The journey through Psalm 119 continues in this episode. Here the Psalmist tells us that we can walk at liberty. Why? Because of the hope and life that our Father gives us. Are we doing that in our daily lives and boldly proclaiming what God has done to those we meet? 

We continue our journey through Psalm 119 in this episode. It takes us to reflect on are we leaning on ourselves to follow after God and His law, or are we asking for His assistance? How can we better ask Him to help us with our daily struggles and challenges? 

This episode takes us on a continued journey through Psalm 119. The Psalmist here is asking that God to help him remain focused. It is easy to see the things going on in the world around us and want to be part, but like the Psalmist we can ask that God help us keep our eye on the prize and remember the blessings that do come.
