Psalm 119:98-148

The writer here expresses his longing and desire for the Word of God. It is his food and drink, it is his light, and it is his shield.  The word of God is sweet, it is righteous, and it is wonderful.

The word of God is our source of wisdom.
It is what keeps us from evil.
It is what keeps us from what is false.
It is what keeps us from going astray.
Those who forget God's ways.. are those who become wicked and lost.. prisoners to iniquity and darkness.

Like the psalmist , we must meditate on God's word.. day and night.
It must be everything to us!   If we are to do right and please God, we must esteem His Word and make it our priority in life. God has spoken and we need to listen.  God's word is living and active.. 
if we ignore it, neglect it, and forsake it, we are turning out the light and walking in darkness. 

Oh Father, be gracious to us once more!  Give us hearts to obey Your word!  Revive us!  Establish our footsteps in Your Word and do not allow iniquity to have dominion over us! ( v133).   Father, You have translated us out of the dominion of darkness and into the kingdom of Your Beloved Son.  You have given us light that shines brighter and brighter until the dawning of that Glorious Day to come.
Help us to walk in the Light as He is in the Light!  Help us to know Your Word that is sweeter than honey and purer than gold!  Thank You, Gracious Father and Wonderful Savior, thank You for saving us and making us Your own.  Amen.
