Psalm 119 Study: Day 1

I have recently started a Bible Study on Psalm 119, and I am not gonna lie, it is AMAZING. The devotional, along with many other devotionals and cute Christ centered things, are sold in Kristin Schmucker's online shop. Her shop and blog are dedicated to helping women lead intentional, Christ-centered lives. I love everything about her shop and I know you will too! You can check out her website here.

Psalm 119:2: "Blessed are those who keep his testimonies, who seek him with their whole heart."

Day 1 begins with a study on Psalm 119-1-8. 

The passage begins by promising God's blessings to those that follow His laws and seek Him with their whole heart. Not part of your heart. Every single inch of you must desire to immerse yourself in God's Word. 

He tells us to seek His laws diligently. Every single day. Every single second. Not just when we are at church, or in small group, or at home. But every second of every day. When we obey Christ and follow His commands, we have no reason to ever feel ashamed, self-doubt, or envy. It doesn't matter what those around you say or do to you. You are sufficient in God's standards not the standards of others. Your self-worth is based on Him.

Once we seek God we begin to understand Him & can praise Him better, worship Him better and ultimately trust Him better. We are clean before Christ.

STUDYING SCRIPTURE IS AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT THAT WE NEED THE LORD.
