This week at Likewise we will look at two more sections in Psalm 119. These verses take a closer look at how David’s deepest desire was to seek, study, serve, and share God with His whole life. How his desire was that every moment of his life was meant to go after the things of God. He writes how it is only God’s Word that will give freedom and set him free from the chokehold of this world - and that living for God’s glory is only found in searching God’s Word, studying God’s Word, and living God’s Word.
This should be such a clear and challenging section for each of us. Just as David wrote, I challenge us to meditate on the verses in these sections to see how our life “lines-up” with the heart-cry of David. Do we seek anything other than God’s Glory? Do we delight in God’s Word? Do we stand for God’s Word and live for God’s Word?
We will look to these verses this week for guidance, direction, and challenge as we seek His Word, and intend to live and love likewise in the community God has placed us. I look forward to opening God’s Word on Sunday and seeking His Face together.
