Power in the Word ~ Psalm 119 Part 5
I am laid low in the dust; preserve my life according to your word. I recounted my ways and you answered me; teach me your decrees. Let me understand the teaching of your precepts; then I will meditate on your wonders. My soul is weary with sorrow; strengthen me according to your word. (Psalm 119:25-28)
The passage in today’s devotional reflects back on some of the things we have talked about, so we will walk through the passage step by step.
vs. 25 “…preserve my life according to your word.”
What are we in life, if we do not have the Word to guide us? Where will we go with our questions? Who will bear our burdens? Without the Word we do not even know where our lives began, where they are going, or where they will end. Our souls are but dust on this earth without the breath of God breathing life into us. With Him and His Word we truly have meaning and purpose. The New Living Translation says “…revive me by your word.” The next time you sit down to read God’s Word look at it as the Bread of Life that feeds your soul. Eat it as if it’s the only thing keeping you alive because honestly without it, you can’t live. God is the One who breathes true life into you. He will revive your soul during those times you think you can’t go another moment in time, He will give you strength for the next step you need to take, and He will be everything you could possibly need on this earth. Beyond that, He is preparing a home for you in glory!
