Joyful are people of integrity, who follow the instructions of the Lord.

Turn my eyes from worthless things, and give me life through your word.

Psalm 119:37

Troubled with temptation?  Here’s a good way forward. 

How can a young person stay pure? By obeying your word.

Psalm 119:9

Few issues in life are black and white and so we need good judgment.  Here’s how we get that.

I believe in your commands; now teach me good judgment and knowledge.

Psalm 119:66

Where is true freedom to be found?  It’s certainly not in doing what we want whenever we want with whoever we want.  That’s a recipe for pain and addiction too many have found.  What’s the good path?

I will walk in freedom, for I have devoted myself to your commandments.

Psalm 119:45

Bottom line, we need safety, protection, and a reason for hope.  Once again, God shows us how to find it right now.

You are my refuge and my shield; your word is my source of hope.

I could go on and on but you can find all sorts more of these encouraging words if you’ll just open your Bible or an app on your phone and read Psalm 119. 

So many benefits to knowing and following God’s words.  Do you dare to give it a try today?
