A Daily Devotional – Psalm 119:17-24 – Personal Meditation
Comment: When is the last time you have
experienced a bountiful day, I do not mean a day like Solomon might reveal in
Ecclesiastes; and that being, of living vainly for a moment in time that
evaporates like water in the heat of the day. A bountiful progress in the life
of God’s children is one that serves another. This may not sound like fun, well
it is not supposed to! There is unity in serving others and ‘fun’ is replaced
with “joy”. This is the encouragement and the comfort of godly love. It does
not come from selfish bounty, it comes from God the Spirit, a provision of
bountifulness that provides mercy to those whom are served with humility;
Philippians 2:1-11.
Devotional: God
calls us to living apart from the world; better understood by a word used by
the psalmist in verse 18. Allow God to open the eyes of your soul to the Wondrous
things of His law. ‘Pala’, a Hebrew word for things hidden or things too high
to be seen humanly, things holy or of a spiritual quality. So, what things are
these you might ask? Bountiful miracles of serving one another.
Having been born from above, we are strangers in the
earth? If this is true and it is; ask God to reveal His commandments of a
Spirit filled life to you. When we see others who are like-minded in faith and
who are in need, are we not crushed when we fail to help? This breaking of our soul
is simply because we fail to meditate with God always and we miss the
opportunities He has planned.
God rebukes the proud, but He gives grace to the
humble, far be it for us, His children who seek diligently to keep the
testimonies of our Father God to allow the princes of the land to speak against
us because we fail to be serve by recommending another to take a government handout
when we, as a church or a servant of the LORD have it to give.
Yes, be as the psalmist, meditate on God’s statutes,
His testimonies also. Let all of the Living Word of God delight your soul,
allow His Truth to be your counselors and you will see with the eyes of your
soul the great and mighty things He has in store for you. I am reminded at this
moment of Jeremiah 33:3, “call to me and I will answer you and show you great
and mighty things which you do not know”.
