Forever is a long time. Never is also a long time. God’s Word never fails. Never. Psalm 119:89-96 (Lamedh) expresses a great faith in God, that he will remain faithful and his word will come through just as it always has, even in the midst of trials.
If you are getting started in a relationship with God, trying to have a quiet time or seeking guidance at this point in your life, you're in the right place.
Spend your first fifteen minutes of the day listening to God and responding in a personal way. This podcast will show you how and teach you in an easy to follow process.
In fifteen minutes (or less) you will listen to God's word for you, reflect on it and learn to pray to God as well as carry that word with you through the rest of your day. What a perfect way to get started!
We're praying through Psalm 119, the longest psalm of the Bible. As an acrostic poem made up of the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet, it explores God's word from A to Z. We are listening to one or two stanzas at a time (8 verses each), and today we focus on the twelfth stanza (lamedh) in which all the lines begin with the L sound.
The main feature of this stanza is the long view. God's word has been at work a long time, and God's faithfulness is famous. The confidence and faith expressed in this stanza are especially notable. There is also mention of affliction (v. 92) and threats (v. 95), but the tone throughout is God's faithfulness which encourages faith from us.
Try slowing down and remembering God's teaching by writing out one stanza (8 verses) of Psalm 119 each day until you finish it. After you've written out the stanza for the day, pick one verse from that section to meditate on throughout the day. Choose whichever verse expresses your own experience with God. There are many to choose from today: vv. 89, 90, 92, 93, 94 and 96.
