Today, I am reading and commenting on  Psalms 119.

This is the longest chapter in the Bible and an acrostic poem, with each verse of the poem (not each Bible verse) starting with a letter from the Hebrew alphabet.  Throughout this entire long psalm, the psalmist directs us to seek God with all of our heart and follow His commands, laws, and statutes.  And he does not just tell us to strive with our own might to do so, he instructs us to beg God to turn us to Him, and to cause us to obey His commands.  We can choose to turn our hearts and desires towards God, or we can turn towards selfish gain.  If we look to God’s laws they will provide light so that we can see where we are going and avoid stumbling.  We have a choice.  We can choose to meditate on God’s laws, and walk with a clear light.  Or we can follow the schemes of the wicked, and stumble in the darkness, far from God’s salvation.  Meditate on God’s law and hide His word in your heart by reading and memorizing Scripture.  This will bring you joy.

I use the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.
