Meditating Daily on the Word

"Praise be to you, O Lord; teach me your decrees."

Psalm 119:12

"With my lips I recount all the laws that come from your mouth."

Psalm 119:13

Verse 12 "Praise be to you, O Lord; teach me your decrees."

The verse reminds me of Job's answer in Job 34:32: "Teach me what I cannot see; if I have done wrong, I will not do so again" (NIV)

Jesus said in the upper room with the disciples in John 14:26: "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you" (NASB).

John 16:13: "But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come" (NASB).

Verse 13: "With my lips I recount all the laws that come from your mouth."

The psalmist is taking time to verbalize the word, to review the verses he has memorized.

Psalm 1:2: "But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night" (NIV).

The psalmist goes on to say in verse 3: "He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers" (NIV).

Joshua 1:8: "Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful" (NIV).

When joy fills my heart this morning as we sing that wonderful hymn, "Trust and Obey":

When we walk with the Lord in the light of His Word,

What a glory He sheds on our way!

While we do His good will He abides with us still,

And with all who will trust and obey.

Not a shadow can rise, not a cloud in the skies.

But His smile quickly drives it away;

Not a doubt nor a fear, not a sigh or a tear,

Can abide while we trust and obey.

Trust and obey, for there's no other way

To be happy in Jesus, But to trust and obey.
