July 03, 2025 Daily Devotion: "A Grateful Heart" Psalm 119:62-64 New Living Translation 62 I rise at midnight to thank you. for your just regulations. 63 I am a friend to anyone who fears you— anyone who obeys your commandments. 64 O Lord, your unfailing love fills theearth; teach me your decrees. How do you feel about the darkness? Have you ever found yourself all alone in the middle of the night? We can usually keep things together during the daytime, but there's something about the nighttime that breaks down our defenses. The psalmist had the answer for finding joy during the darkest of times. Whatever has you feeling down and swallowed in darkness, there's joy to be found. You still have reasons to rise and give thanks. God's Word is a light, and it shines in the darkness in away it never could in the light (Psalm119:105). We have only to open our eyes and look for it (Psalm 119:148). At some point, we'll all find ourselves in a dark place that we would never have chosen. Even then, if we open God's Word, He can shine His light (Psalm 119:130) and reveal places of joy.

Tap here to send us a message!To truly live for God, you must love Him and His Word as much as you hate anything that leads you away from Him.

Psalm 119 emphasizes the gift of knowing and following God through His Word. It reminds us that faith is not about discovering new truths but deepening our walk with Jesus by treasuring His teachings. The psalmist expresses a wholehearted pursuit of God, recognizing that Scripture shapes our identity and guides our path. Prioritizing and aligning our lives with God's Word fosters true spiritual growth and fulfillment.
This sermon answers by showing how Psalm 119 encourages prayerful dependence on God's Word, presence, and promises, even during hardship or spiritual fatigue.

Britton Taylor discusses Psalm 119:165—“Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.”
Psalm 119:40 says, “How I long for your precepts! In your righteousness preserve my life.” This verse expresses a deep, fervent desire for God's precepts(law, statutes, and commandments) and for our preservation through His righteousness. Basically, this verse is asking for a life guided by and restored by God's Word and His justice. Today is the week in our 8-week series on Psalm 119:33-40. Each week I have taught verse by verse and broken down their meaning. Psalm 119 is the longest Psalm. It's a hymn of praise and appreciation for God's instruction. God not only gave His people land, but He gave them His blueprint, the Torah for living. Each section in Psalm 119 coincides with a Hebrew letter and highlights attributes of God's instructions to His people. All of Psalm 119 is an acrostic poem that moves through each letter of the Hebrew alphabet. Psalm 119:33-40 go with the Hebrew letter ה He and the number 5. Which also corresponds to this year of 2025 or the Hebrew year 5785.
Seeking Divine Guidance and Strength: A Father's Day Reflection on Psalm 119:17-24 As we gather this Father's Day, considering our "Summer in the Psalms" series, we find ourselves reflecting on the rich tapestry of wisdom in Psalm 119:17-24. This passage offers us profound insight into seeking God's guidance and strength. Imagine Psalm 119 as a roadmap, guiding us to a place where the heart aligns with divine instruction, much like a child looking up to a father for guidance. It's a fitting backdrop as we celebrate fathers today. Let us dive into these verses with open hearts. Point 1: Ask God for Help (Psalm 119:17-18) "Deal bountifully with your servant, that I may live and keep your word. Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law." Sub-point 1: God as Our Provider Verse 17 begins with a request to God: "Deal bountifully with your servant." This is a cry for help—an acknowledgment that all we have and need is rooted in God's gracious provision. As fathers and as children of God, we recognize our dependence. It's like a craftsman asking for the right tools; without them, his work cannot be fruitful. Fathers, remember that ultimate provision and help come from God. Sub-point 2: Illumination from God Verse 18's plea, "Open my eyes," signifies our need for spiritual sight. In our roles as fathers, leaders, or guides, we must continually seek God's wisdom. It's as if walking into a darkened room, feeling our way along with hands before our eyes, we long for the light to understand our path. Practical Application: Each day, begin with a prayer seeking God's provision and sight. Involve the family in this habit, showing them dependence on God's wisdom is generational. Point 2: Ask God for Power (Psalm 119:19-20) "I am a sojourner on the earth; hide not your commandments from me! My soul is consumed with longing for your rules at all times." Sub-point 1: Earthly Transience and Heavenly Power Acknowledging our status as "sojourners" calls us to focus not on earthly power but on divine strength. Think of a tent versus a brick house; one is temporary, serving us only through God's strength, like our time on earth compared to eternity. Sub-point 2: Consuming Passion for God's Commands This passage describes a longing as consuming—like a parched throat thirsting for water. Fathers, cultivate such a longing in your households; instill a desire for God's word stronger than any earthly passion. Practical Application: Model a lifestyle that prioritizes spiritual discipline. Lead times of study and reflection with your family, showing a genuine longing for God's power and guidance. Point 3: Ask God for Persistence in Opposition (Psalm 119:21-24) "You rebuke the insolent, accursed ones, who wander from your commandments. Take away from me scorn and contempt, for I have kept your testimonies. Even though princes sit plotting against me, your servant will meditate on your statutes. Your testimonies are my delight; they are my counselors." Sub-point 1: Trusting God Against Opposition Facing opposition is inevitable; it's like a great oak facing storm winds, standing firm because it is deeply rooted. Fathers, your role includes standing against opposition to the truth with courage that only God provides. Sub-point 2: Joy in God's Testimonies as Guidance The Psalmist finds delight and counsel in God's word despite adversity, making it a sustaining joy like a balm to alleviate pain. Encourage your family to see God's word as a reliable counselor amid life's trials. Practical Application: Create an environment where challenges are met with scripture-backed resoluteness. Share stories of historical or biblical figures who triumphed through steadfast faith. Conclusion and Christ Connection As we move towards communion, remember Christ's promise in Matthew 7:7-11. Just as a loving father gives good gifts to his children, God desires to supply us with help, power, and persistence through Christ. In something as simple as asking, He provides abundantly. To those here who do not know Christ, I urge you to ask for the gift of salvation He freely gives. Open your heart to the Lord who offers help, power, and eternal perseverance. For believers, let this be a reminder that fatherhood, in all its forms, mirrors God's love. Seek His presence in all aspects of life, and let your home be a place where reliance on divine guidance shapes every action. As we partake in communion, may our hearts reflect gratitude for the gifts afforded by our loving Father.
