It's a beautiful morning here in the mountains. The air is still a bit cool....birds are singing....I'm loving all the different shades of green as I look out the window. Because we are on a western-facing slope, it takes a while for the sun to rise above the mountain that is behind us. There's some fog in the valley below us this morning, but I'm sure that will burn off once the sun makes it to this side of the mountain. The only sounds I hear are the singing birds. It's very peaceful here this morning as I turn to God's Word. The words of Psalm 19 come to mind......."The heavens declare the glory of God....." How true that is! Psalm 19 is actually very similar to Psalm 119, the psalm we are currently studying. Although Psalm 19 is much shorter, there are many similarities as David speaks of the wonder of God and His Word. You might want to check that out if you have time.
As we continue our journey through Psalm 119, let's begin the tsadhe stanza today. Read with me verses 137-144, and note what you learn about God and His Word. In addition to the synonyms for the Word that we are now very familiar with, did you see any other repeated words or phrases?
The word that jumps out at me is "righteousness", which is used four times in these eight verses, along with one use of the word "righteous". So, in addition to making a list of what we learn about God's Word, let's also make a list of what the psalmist says about righteousness. What does the psalmist say is righteous?
Consider those things today, and we'll continue this topic tomorrow.
