My soul breaketh [ is consumed ] for the longing that it hath unto thy judgments [ your ordinances ] at all times. – Psalms 119:20

Dearly beloved brethren, the wonderful revelation from this passage in the life of king David, provides great help for Bible believing believers like you. See the passage again.

In the previous passage, king David discovered, he was a stranger and a sojourner on this side of heaven, like his progenitors.

He besought God to reveal to him, the requisites for living with Him in eternity.

God had responded and king David, discovered , he would need the grace of God to do , the knowledge, God had revealed to him.

Psa 24:3 — Psa 24:4 Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

My soul breaketh [ is consumed ] for the longing that it hath unto thy judgments [ your ordinances ] at all times. – Psalms 119:20 

Beloved, take a cue from this passage. Without Christ and His grace , you can do nothing. But with Him and His grace, you can do all things.

John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

My soul breaketh [ is consumed ] for the longing that it hath unto thy judgments [ your ordinances ] at all times. – Psalms 119:20 

Beloved, see others in Bible days, that had similar challenges, confronting king David in this passage. So always look up to Jesus for succour.

Hebrews 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Hebrews 2:18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.

See those who received His succour and were triumphant. You also shall be triumphant, as you do, what they did.

1. The disciples of our Lord Jesus.

Luk 17:3 — Luk 17:5 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him. And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him. And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.

Mat 19:7 — Mat 19:12 They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery. His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry. But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given. For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother’s womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’s sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.

2. The man whose son was severely attacked by the devil.

Mar 9:21 — Mar 9:24 And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child. And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us. Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.

My soul breaketh [ is consumed ] for the longing that it hath unto thy judgments [ your ordinances ] at all times. – Psalms 119:20 

3. Paul apostle prior to his conversion.

Rom 7:21 — Rom 7:25 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

God’s grace is sufficient for you to be obedient unto God. So reach out to Him , to help you in particular.

2Co 12:9 — 2Co 12:10 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

2 Corinthians 9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:

The good Lord shall help you in particular in Jesus name.

My soul breaketh [ is consumed ] for the longing that it hath unto thy judgments [ your ordinances ] at all times. – Psalms 119:20

Open thou mine eyes [ illuminate my understanding ], that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law. – Psalms 119:18

Dearly beloved brethren, king David, through his own life and sincere desire, revealed the most humbling truth about the entire human race after the fall at Eden.

The entire unregenerate have been blinded to all things pertaining to God

2Co 4:3 — 2Co 4:4 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

1Co 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Rom 8:6 — Rom 8:8 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

2Ti 2:24 — 2Ti 2:26 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.

Open thou mine eyes [ illuminate my understanding ], that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law. – Psalms 119:18 

Pause a little and consider the four scriptures above. Any time you see yourself contesting any scripture, you need to pray like, king David and ask God to open your blind eyes, to behold wondrous things from God’s unfailing unchanging and eternal words?

Psalms 119:18 Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law

Our Lord Jesus Christ affirmed that, it takes God the Father, to revealed the hidden truth in the scriptures to humble Bible believing believers, our Lord refered to as babes.

Mat 11:25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.

Luk 10:21 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.

This was the exact thing, God the Father, did to Peter, and he saw our Lord as the Christ, the Son of the living God.

Mat 16:13 — Mat 16:17 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

Psalms 119:18 Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law

But then, after our Lord’s glorification, the blessed Holy Spirit had been commissioned to reveal the truth of the scriptures to sincere and humble Bible believing believers, like you.

Jn 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

Jn 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:

1 John 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

See the way the same passage was amplified.

Open thou mine eyes – עיני גל gal eynai, reveal my eyes, illuminate my understanding, take away the veil that is on my heart, and then shall I see wonders in thy law. The Holy Scriptures are plain enough; but the heart of man is darkened by sin. The Bible does not so much need a comment, as the soul does the light of the Holy Spirit. Were it not for the darkness of the human intellect, the things relative to salvation would be easily apprehended.

Open thou mine eyes. Since the Fall, men’s eyes are naturally blinded, or, at any rate, have a veil over them, which God must remove before they can see clearly.

Beloved, like king David, reach out to the blessed Holy Spirit to begin to reveal the hidden things of the scriptures to you and help you to avert eternal damnation of those who are still contesting the Bible.

2Th 2:10 — 2Th 2:12 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Psalms 119:18 Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law

Deal bountifully with thy servant [ Be good to your servant ], that I may live, and keep thy word. – Psalms 119:17

Dearly beloved brethren, the Bible says everything written in the Bible is for your learning and admonition.

Romans 15:4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.

1 Corinthians 10:11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.

You discover something worthy of doing in the life of king David from this passage. See it.

Deal bountifully with thy servant [ Be good to your servant ], that I may live, and keep thy word. – Psalms 119:17 

King David was making a vow to God, that if God will bless him and also give him, long life, then he will obey His words implicitly.

There were other saints in the Bible that did same. See some of them.

1 Jacob did same

Gen 28:20 — Gen 28:22 And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on, So that I come again to my father’s house in peace; then shall the LORD be my God: And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God’s house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.

2. Israel did same.

Num 21:2 — Num 21:3 And Israel vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou wilt indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities. And the LORD hearkened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities: and he called the name of the place Hormah.

3. Hannah did same.

1Sa 1:9 — 1Sa 1:11 So Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk. Now Eli the priest sat upon a seat by a post of the temple of the LORD. And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the LORD, and wept sore. And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head.

God granted the prayers of these saints they paid their vows.

See the way this same passage was amplified.

1.

Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may live, and keep thy Word; rather, grant unto thy servant that I may live. Give me the blessing of a long life, that so my keeping of thy Word may be long. The psalmist seems to be praying especially for himself; but the argument of his prayer will extend to all “servants of the Lord.”

2

We are here taught, 1. That we owe our lives to God’s mercy. David prays, Deal bountifully with me, that I may live. It was God’s bounty that gave us life, that gave us this life; and the same bounty that gave it continues it, and gives all the supports and comforts of it; if these be withheld, we die, or, which is equivalent, our lives are embittered and we become weary of them. If God deals in strict justice with us, we die, we perish, we all perish; if these forfeited lives be preserved and prolonged, it is because God deals bountifully with us, according to his mercy, not according to our deserts. The continuance of the most useful life is owing to God’s bounty, and on that we must have a continual dependence. 2. That therefore we ought to spend our lives in God’s service. Life is therefore a choice mercy, because it is an opportunity of obeying God in this world, where there are so few that do glorify him; and this David had in his eye: “Not that I may live and grow rich, live and be merry, but that I may live and keep thy word, may observe it myself and transmit it to those that shall come after, which the longer I live the better I shall do.”

Deal bountifully with thy servant [ Be good to your servant ], that I may live, and keep thy word. – Psalms 119:17 

So beloved, brethren reach out to your loving Father in heaven with a vow and your desires shall be granted. But then, like these saints make sure you pay your vow after you have received the desired mercies from God.

1Sa 1:27 — 1Sa 1:28 For this child I prayed; and the LORD hath given me my petition which I asked of him: Therefore also I have lent him to the LORD; as long as he liveth he shall be lent to the LORD. And he worshipped the LORD there.

Deal bountifully with thy servant [ Be good to your servant ], that I may live, and keep thy word. – Psalms 119:17

I will delight myself in thy statutes [ I will take pleasure in your laws ]: I will not forget thy word. – Psalms 119:16

Dearly beloved brethren, it is painful but true that the majority of those who profess religion in the universal church of Christ are wicked people on their way to hell.

The reason for this is very very simple, they have forgotten God, because they have forgotten His words.

Psalms 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.

Psalms 50:16-22 But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth? Seeing thou hatest instruction, and casteth my words behind thee. When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers. Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit. Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother’s son. These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes. Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.

No wonder, it is for this reason, that Bible believing believers like you are severally exhorted in the scriptures not to forget God by forgetting His words.

Deu 8:11 Beware that thou forget not the Lord thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day:

Proverbs 3:1-2 My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments: For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.

This was the major reason why king David took a firm resolve never to forget God’s word and forget God.

I will delight myself in thy statutes [ I will take pleasure in your laws ]: I will not forget thy word. – Psalms 119:16 

Beloved , to help you not to forget God by forgetting His words, then do what king David was always doing. Determine to make the words of God your singular delight.

Psalms 1:2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

Psalms 119:24 Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counsellors. 119:40 Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness. 119:47 And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved. 119:70 Their heart is as fat as grease; but I delight in thy law. 119:77 Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for thy law is my delight.

Beloved , see how the blessed Holy Spirit amplified this same passage.

I will delight myself in thy statutes [ I will take pleasure in your laws ]: I will not forget thy word. – Psalms 119:16 

David took more delight in God’s statutes than in the pleasures of his court or the honours of his camp, more than in his sword or in his harp. When the law is written in the heart duty becomes a delight. He will never forget what he has learned of the things of God: “I will not forget thy word, not only I will not quite forget it, but I will be mindful of it when I have occasion to use it.” Those that meditate in God’s word, and delight in it, are in no great danger of forgetting it.

May the good Lord help you to do same to guarantee your eternal well being in Jesus name.

I will delight myself in thy statutes [ I will take pleasure in your laws ]: I will not forget thy word. – Psalms 119:16

I will meditate in thy precepts, commandments, statues and laws and have respect unto thy ways and teachings – Psalms  119:15

I will meditate in thy precepts, commandments, statues and laws and have respect unto thy ways and teachings – Psalms  119:15

Dearly beloved brethren, there is something peculiar that characterised the lifestyle of Bible believing believers like you. They are wise people.

Pro 9:12 If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself:but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.

And because they are wise, they are always thoughtful of their eternal well being.

Deuteronomy 32:29 O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!

Proverbs 19:20 Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.

I will meditate in thy precepts, commandments, statues and laws and have respect unto thy ways and teachings – Psalms  119:15

Because of this, such believers which must include you, are always meditating on God’s words regularly and applying their hearts to wisdom, so that at the end of their lives, God’s word will justify and not condemn them.

Psalms 90:12 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

This was the reason why king David was commited to meditating on God’s words and having so much reference to what it says.

Psalms 119:15 I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways.

No wonder, king David was always asking the question, on what he must be doing to live eternally with God.

I will meditate in thy precepts, commandments, statues and laws and have respect unto thy ways and teachings – Psalms  119:15

See some instances.

Psalms 15:1-5 Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill? He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart. He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour. In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the LORD. He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not. He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.

Psalms 24:3-4 Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

Pause a little and reflect on the lifestyle of king David. Have you also being asking yourself, whether your present attitude towards God’s words shall help you to live eternally with God?

I will meditate in thy precepts, commandments, statues and laws and have respect unto thy ways and teachings – Psalms  119:15

See this same passage of the Bible amplified.

Psalms 119:15 I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways.

I will meditate –

He should encourage self-examination and reflection; and meditate frequently on God’s words, works, and ways – and especially on his gracious dealings towards him.

He should keep his eye upon God’s steps; setting the example of his Savior before his eyes, going where he would go, and nowhere else; doing what he would do, and nothing else; keeping the company that he would keep, and none else; and doing every thing in reference to the final judgment.

I will meditate in thy precepts, commandments, statues and laws and have respect unto thy ways and teachings – Psalms  119:15

Beloved, because you too, desire to live with God eternally, then give attention to the following words.

1. Always seek living in heaven and walking in holiness lifestyle that shall take you there.

Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

2. Do everything on day to day basis, from the perspective of secured eternity.

Colossians 3:1-4 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

3. Live daily like a wise virgin in readiness for the dawning rapture.

Revelation 3:10 -11 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

The good Lord shall help you in particular in Jesus name.

I will meditate in thy precepts, commandments, statues and laws and have respect unto thy ways and teachings – Psalms  119:15
