Psalm 119:103 - Sweet!

How sweet are your words to my taste,
     sweeter than honey to my mouth!

If you are like me and you have a sweet tooth, then this scripture speaks to you. This section of Psalm 119 concentrates on the benefits of the word. The word gives us understanding, wisdom, insight and helps us to avoid evil paths. The word is something we come to crave. We feel it's benefits and see it working in our lives the more we study.

Lord, thank you for your word. Please help us to crave your word like sweets. Amen.

Psalm 119:81 - Longing, looking and waiting

My soul faints with longing for your salvation,
     but I have put my hope in your word.

This section of chapter 119 uses words like longing, looking and waiting. Are you longing, looking and waiting for the Lord? Or is there something else in your life you are longing, looking or waiting for? It is easy for things and people to take the place of God in our life. Only God satisfies, gives real hope and never fails on his promises.

Lord, thank you for being our unfailing God. Please help us to only long, look and wait for you. Amen.
