Teach me, O Lord, the way of Your statutes, and I shall keep it to the end.
Give me understanding, and I shall keep Your law; indeed, I shall observe it with my whole heart.
Make me walk in the path of Your commandments, for I delight in it.
Incline my heart to Your testimonies, and not to covetousness.
Turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things, and revive me in Your way.
Establish Your word to Your servant, who is devoted to fearing You.
Turn away my reproach which I dread, for Your judgments are good.
Behold, I long for Your precepts; revive me in Your righteousness.
Psalm 119:33-40
When we read Psalm 119:33-40, we see the author was inspired by the Holy Spirit to ask the Lord for 8 things:
1. Teach him
2. Give him understanding
3. Make him walk in the path of God’s commandments
4. Incline his heart to God’s testimonies
5. Turn away his eyes from worthless things
6. Establish God’s Word to him
7. Turn away his reproach
8. Revive him in God’s way and God’s righteousness
We can safely assume that those requests were all in line with God’s will, therefore, the Lord was eager to help him. We don’t have to journey in this life without God’s help. As followers of Christ, He is always with us. When we seek Him, we find that we don’t have to “do life” in our own strength or “willpower.” We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. Let’s ask God for those 8 things and experience a mighty move of God in our lives as we grow in our FAITH IN HIM!
We are here for you at Danny Burns Ministries, to help you grow in your faith and fulfil your God-given purpose as you walk with God.
