Finding Truth

“…..Strengthen me according to thy Word.” Psalm 119:28

Last week I highlighted some of the “wondrous things” which the psalmist discovered in God’s Word. He was so happy with his discovery that he made a decision: “I will delight myself in Thy commandments which I have loved.” The Psalmist also realized that in order to respond appropriately to God’s Word he would need God’s help. So in the next twenty-four verses, he asks God for:

Strength so that He would hold on to the Word.
Further teaching from the Word.
Greater understanding so that he would observe the commandments.
