“I will meditate on your precepts and fix my eyes on your ways. I will delight in your statutes; I will not forget your word.” Psalm 119: 15-16 (ESV)
As we mentioned, this is the third posting which is from Psalm 119 and it is about the Word of God. The Psalmist uses ten different words to reference God's Word and today there are three besides the word 'word'. This may differ in various translations but the one we have today uses, 'precepts', 'ways', 'statues', as well as 'word.' The messages which we find in the Bible were not conceived by human beings. The human writers were just passing on to us what God knew we all need. And that is how the psalmist reacted to what God had said. We notice that he mediated on God's messages, focused or fixed his eyes on what God had said and noticing how He dealt with people. As a result of thinking about all this, it brought him delight and gave him a desire to pay attention to what God said. We can do the same. Meditating, focusing, delighting and determining to not forget what God has given us to help us on our journey with Him.
