Daily Bible Reading “My Hope is in Thy Word” (Psalm 119:49-56)

Posted on November 6, 2024 by Deborah H. Bateman

My Hope is in Thy Word

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Psalm 119:49-56. This portion of Scripture from Psalm 119 starts with ZAIN, the seventh letter of the Hebrew alphabet. The letter ZAIN is symbolic of a sword, which is used to attack or defend oneself. The Psalmist starts this portion of Scripture asking God to remember His word, in which he found hope. He says God’s Word comforted him during his affliction, because it has quickened him.

He has been in great distress because of the proud, but he has not strayed from God’s law. The Psalmist says he remembers God’s judgments and comforted himself in them. Does reading the Bible and remembering God’s promises comfort you?

He has been horrified by the wicked that have forsaken God’s law. He has held to God’s statutes and made them his songs. He says he remembered God’s Word in the night and it comforted him. He was able to do this because he had studied God’s Word and hid it in his heart, so when he needed help he could recall it.

Have you ever woke up in the night and been afraid, then thought of a verse from the Bible or a Christian song and it comforted you or gave you hope? If I awake at night I will either quote a Scripture, start singing a song silently or pray and it helps comfort me so I can go back to sleep.

Using this same tactic will also help if you are worried about something. If you take your mind off your problem and put your thoughts on Scripture, or start singing a song of praise to God, it will help give you hope and comfort your soul. Try this the next time you are in distress and see if it helps you. It works for me.

Daily Bible Reading:

Psalm 119:49-56

49 ZAIN. Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope.

50 This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me.

51 The proud have had me greatly in derision: yet have I not declined from thy law.

52 I remembered thy judgments of old, O LORD; and have comforted myself.

53 Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake thy law.

54 Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.

55 I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept thy law.

56 This I had, because I kept thy precepts.

Things to Think About:

Do you find hope in the word of the LORD?

Does it encourage you to quote Scripture?

Does it lift your spirit to sings songs of praise to the LORD?

Does it help you to cope with the trials of life when you remember how much God loves you?

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for this Scripture in Psalm 119 where the Psalmist says he finds hope in Your word. He knows You love him and are working on his behalf. Help us to find hope in Your word and to trust You as You work things out in our lives. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Daily Bible Reading “Teach Me, O LORD” (Psalm 119:33-40)

Posted on November 3, 2024 by Deborah H. Bateman

Teach Me, O LORD

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Psalm 119:33-40. This portion of Scripture in Psalm 119 starts with the Hebrew letter HE. HE is the fifth letter of the Hebrew alphabet and represents the letter 5 or can be 5000 when speaking of years. The Psalmist cries out to God to teach him the statutes of the LORD. He asks God to give him understanding and he promises to keep God’s law and observe it with his whole heart.

The Psalmist asks God to help his heart to be inclined toward God’s testimonies and not toward covetousness.

He asks God to help him to walk in the path of God’s commandments, because he delights in the laws of God. He prays to God to turn his eyes from vanity and help him to walk in the ways of God. The Psalmist fears the judgment of God. His desire is to be rooted and grounded in the word of God, so he can live righteously before God.

Daily Bible Reading:

Psalm 119:33-40

33 HE. Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it unto the end.

34 Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.

35 Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight.

36 Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness.

37 Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken thou me in thy way.

38 Stablish thy word unto thy servant, who is devoted to thy fear.

39 Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments are good.

40 Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness.

Things to Think About:

Have you ever prayed and asked God to teach you His word?

How can we protect our eyes from seeing evil?

How can we protect our ears from hearing things not pleasing to God?

Do you long to be righteous before God?

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We thank You for this Scripture in Psalm 119 where the Psalmist asks You to teach him Your ways. LORD, help us to understand Your word. Open our hearts, minds, eyes, and ears to see, hear, and understand Your will for our lives. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Daily Bible Reading “I Have Chosen the Way of Truth” (Psalm 119:25-32)

Posted on October 31, 2024 by Deborah H. Bateman

I Have Chosen the Way of Truth

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Psalm 119:25-32. This portion of Scripture in Psalm 119 starts with the Hebrew letter DALETH, which is the fourth letter in the Hebrew alphabet and represents the number 4. It also represents the letter D and means doorway. Hebrew letters not only represent a letter, they represent a word, and a number.

The Psalmist admits that his soul clings to this earth, but asks God to restore him to God’s Word. He declares his ways and asks God to teach him the statutes of God. He wants to understand God’s precepts, so he can talk of His wondrous works.

The Psalmist says his soul melts with heaviness and asks God to strengthen him with God’s Word. He requests of God to take the habit of lying away from him and help him to walk in the truth of God’s Word. He has studied the laws of God and wants to walk in the light of them. He asks God to enlarge his heart so he can run in the way of God’s commandments.

Have you ever had a habit that you knew was against the will of God? The Psalmist had a habit of lying. We should take his example and when we know we are doing something against God’s will in our lives ask Him to forgive us and help us to walk in His way.

Daily Bible Reading:

Psalm 119:25-32

25 DALETH. My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to thy word.

26 I have declared my ways, and thou heardest me: teach me thy statutes.

27 Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so shall I talk of thy wondrous works.

28 My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according unto thy word.

29 Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law graciously.

30 I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid before me.

31 I have stuck unto thy testimonies: O LORD, put me not to shame.

32 I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart.

Things to Think About:

Do you desire to understand God’s precepts?

Do you like to talk about the wondrous works of God?

Have you ever had a problem with lying as the Psalmist did?

Do you choose the way of truth?

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We thank You for this Scripture in Psalm 119, where the Psalmist reminds us to walk in the truth of Your word. Help us to desire to know and live in the truth. Keep us from choosing the way of lying. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Daily Bible Verse:

I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid before me. – Psalm 119:30

Daily Bible Reading “Help Me Keep Thy Word” (Psalm 119:17-24)

Posted on October 30, 2024 by Deborah H. Bateman

Help Me Keep Thy Word

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Psalm 119:17-24. This portion of Scripture starts with the Hebrew letter GIMEL, which is the third letter of the Hebrew alphabet. Because of the shape of the letter some think it may have derived from a camel, but it said to be a rich man running after a poor man. The Psalmist tells God to deal with him bountifully so he will live and keep God’s word. He asks God to open his eyes so he can see the wondrous things from God’s law.

He declares that he is a stranger in the earth and asks God not to hide His commandments from him. The Psalmist says his soul breaks because of the longing he has for God’s judgments all the time. He acknowledges that God has rebuked the proud and cursed them because they don’t obey the commandments of God.

The Psalmist asks God to deliver him from reproach and contempt because he has kept His testimonies. He proclaims that God’s testimonies are his delight and his counselors. He uses the commandments of God as his guideline for life.

You have to remember that in the Old Testament they were living under the law and were condemned if they didn’t keep the law. In the New Testament, Jesus came, and redeemed us from the law, but that doesn’t mean we should live any way we want. We should still use God’s word for our guideline as how Christians should live and strive to live in the ways of the LORD.

Daily Bible Reading:

Psalm 119:17-24

17 GIMEL. Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may live, and keep thy word.

18 Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.

19 I am a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me.

20 My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath unto thy judgments at all times.

21 Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do err from thy commandments.

22 Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept thy testimonies.

23 Princes also did sit and speak against me: but thy servant did meditate in thy statutes.

24 Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counsellors.

Things to Think About:

Do you treasure God’s word?

Do you long to understand more of the Bible?

Do you strive to live according to the Bible?

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for this Scripture in Psalm 119 where the Psalmist declares his love for Your word. Help us to long to read, study, and understand the many things You have shared with us in the Bible. Help us as we strive to live out the word in our daily lives. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
