Obedience to the Father



The other day I was reading in my devotions and came across something interesting in Psalm 119. Verses 17-24 were where I was reading. Psalm 119 is full of references to the law, statutes, and the word, and all these can represent the Lord and His commands. We must obey His word. There are many examples and lessons in verses 17-24.
Verse 17 ~ The Lord saves us so we live for Him and obey His commands.
Verse 18 ~ Everyday was must ask the Lord to show us His way and obey it.
Verse 19 ~ We really are only strangers in this world and we need a guide.
Verse 20 ~ Does your soul really long to know God and follow Him?
Verse 21 ~ There are consequences to not obeying the Lord's commands.
Verse 22 ~ People will falsely accuse you and make fun of you, just continue to obey, God will bless for it.
Verse 23 ~ Don't just learn it, think and apply it!
Verse 24 ~ Let God's Word be the guiding force in all you do and rejoice that He is leading you.
