Psalm 119, the longest psalm and the longest chapter in the Bible. At the beginning of each section is a Hebrew word, and a Hebrew letter. This psalm is written as an acrostic poem using the Hebrew alphabet.

“How can a young man keep his way pure?”
How can we stay pure in a filthy environment?
“By living according to your word.”
We can read God’s word, stay connected in fellowship with other believers, and get involved in ministry but how can we keep from being polluted by the world? Just read the rest of Psalm 119, it spells it out perfectly!

Under Teth, Yodh and Lamedh in Psalm 119 the word affliction is mentioned several times. It seems as if “affliction” is a good thing if it gets our attention. Just ask Phil!

“To all perfection I see a limit; but your commands are boundless.”
Often we try to put God in a box and limit His power and ability. That word “boundless” means ‘in any and every direction”. He is omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent. There is no need to try to limit Him. It can’t be done!

“How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!”
Do we as Christians perceive His words as sweet, even those words that convict and rebuke us?
