Psalm 119, 26of27

~ Read God’s Word To Increase Your Desire for God’s Word ~

119:20 My soul breaks with longing

For Your judgments at all times.

119:40 Behold, I long for Your precepts;

Revive me in Your righteousness.

119:47 And I will delight myself in Your commandments,

Which I love.

119:48 My hands also I will lift up to Your commandments,

Which I love,

And I will meditate on Your statutes.

Comment  ~  The more you read and begin to understand the Bible the more drawn you will be to further reading and study of God’s holy written Word. 

“As the deer pants for the water brooks, so pants my soul for You, O God.  My soul thirsts for God, for the living God” (Psalm 42:1-2a).

Question – Jesus, 39

~  Regarding Force ~

Introduction  ~  This series is about questions involving Jesus.  Some were asked by individuals involved with Jesus Christ while He walked on earth.  Others are questions that Jesus Christ asked others.  We will look at questions on about 130 topics (some may split into two or more posts).  Even so, it is far from an exhaustive list. 

Scripture  ~  “And while He was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, with a great multitude with swords and clubs, came from the chief priests and elders of the people.  Now His betrayer had given them a sign, saying, ‘Whomever I kiss, He is the One; seize Him.’  Immediately he went up to Jesus and said, ‘Greetings, Rabbi!’ and kissed Him.  But Jesus said to him, ‘Friend, why have you come?’  Then they came and laid hands on Jesus and took Him.  And suddenly, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.  But Jesus said to him, ‘Put your sword in its place, for all who take the sword will perish by the sword. Or do you think that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He will provide Me with more than twelve legions of angels?  How then could the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must happen thus?’  In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, ‘Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to take Me?  I sat daily with you, teaching in the temple, and you did not seize Me.  But all this was done that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.’  Then all the disciples forsook Him and fled” (Matthew 26:47-56).

God Is My… (Psalms), 10

~ God Is My Strength (2) ~

Introduction  ~  Previously from July 16, 2017 through January 6, 2019 ALN posted a series of 60 posts of “Jesus is…,” and now we look exclusively at who “God is…” from the Book of Psalms.  While not a complete list these posts occur are in the same order they are in the Psalms. 

Passage  ~  “The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.  I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised; so shall I be saved from my enemies” (Psalm 18:2-3).     

Prior Passage(s)  ~   “I will love You, O Lord, my strength” (Psalm 18:1).     

Significance  ~  Mankind is broken and weak since the Fall in the Garden of Eden.  But those who have recognized their need for a Savior and called upon Jesus Christ to be their personal Savior have the strength of God at their disposal when they are operating in accordance to God’s desires for them. 

Comment  ~  God uses the weak things in this world to accomplish great things in this world!  Have you ever noticed that God rarely uses the strong and mighty of this world.  Perhaps this is so that it will be clear that the accomplishments are of God and not of man.
