Psalm 119 is so deep with emotion, at least for me. As I mentioned in my post on our FB page, I've been studying this chapter for a few days, with the words: precepts, statutes, & testimonies reaching out to me.
We are taught to study the Word; hide it in our Heart; teach it to others-testify.
Psalm 119:2-6 "2)Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart. 3)They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways. 4)Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently. 5)O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes! 6)Then Shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments."
The precepts & statutes are the commandments & laws that God has given to protect & guide us through this life. It will not always be smooth sailing. The more we meditate in his Word, the greater our trust & faith in God becomes!
Seek him whole heartedly!

Letting Purpose Find You
So many people will ask others how to find purpose in this life. Motivational speakers make millions of dollars pretending to answer this question. The truth can be found in Scripture. Psalms 37:23 says “The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.” If we are following God, we do not need to spend our lives seeking out our purpose. Purpose will find us. If we walk the path that the Lord has laid out for us, we will step right into our purposes in life. Therefore be not afraid. God has a destiny for us all; all we are required to do is accept it once He gives it. He has already left His footprints; we need simply to follow after them.
God bless you all
