“Cause me to understand the way of your precepts, that I may meditate on your Wonderful deeds.” Psalm 119:27 (NIV)
We are continuing to focus on verses out of Psalm 119. The psalmist realized that God had given His people the Scriptures to teach them many things they needed to know. We also realize that God has, in love, preserved the Scriptures for us to read because He knows our need as well. We need God's help to understand what He wants to teach us in the Bible. When He teaches us we need to give real thought to His teaching. We need to do as the psalmist did. We need to meditate on God's Word. Meditating is not a mystical practice as it is so often portrayed in stories, movies and on television. Meditating is taking time to focus on a smaller portion of the Bible and think about what it means, what it means to you personally, and how to respond and apply what it says to do. We will find as the psalmist did that He is a wonderful God and He does wonderful things. God promises to help us understand His Word.
