Psalm 119:33-48, Coveting!

HE = ה , 33-40

Psa 119:33-35, 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.

LORD, Teach me, Give me Understanding, and Help me walk in your precepts! The Psalmist only fear was that he wouldn’t be able to understand HIS word! The LORD will give understanding and wisdom if asked!

Joh 6:45, It is written in the prophets, ‘AND THEY SHALL ALL BE TAUGHT BY GOD.’ Therefore everyone who has HEARD and LEARNED FROM THE FATHER COMES TO ME. 

Psa 119:36-37, 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.

You shall not covet, “to desire earnestly or set your heart and mind upon”! Coveting is a great threat upon a believer’s life!

King David committed adultery and murdered because he coveted Bathsheba! 2Sam 11

Judas sound out JESUS, the SON of the living GOD for 30 pieces of silver! Matt 26:14-16

Luk 12:15, And He (JESUS) said to them, “TAKE HEED AND BEWARE OF COVETOUSNESS, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses.”

VAU = ו , 40-48

Psa 119:44-45, So shall I keep Your law continually, Forever and ever. And I will walk at liberty, For I seek Your precepts.

When JESUS first started HIS ministry HE read from Isaiah 61:1-2a. HE came to set us free from the power of sin! Sin imprisons the mind and body, but HE came to open up the prison doors!

Isa 61:1, ….. TO PROCLAIM LIBERTY TO THE CAPTIVES, AND THE OPENING OF THE PRISON TO THOSE WHO ARE BOUND; 

Rom 8:2, …FREE FROM THE LAW OF SIN AND DEATH.

Coveting what others have will lead us in the wrong direction! But, HE came to set us free and to set us on a better path than the one we have chosen!

Pro 14:12, There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death. 

1Kings 21, False witnesses!

1Ki 21:13, And two men, SCOUNDRELS, came in and sat before him; and the scoundrels WITNESSED AGAINST HIM, against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, “Naboth has blasphemed God and the king!” THEN THEY TOOK HIM OUTSIDE THE CITY AND STONED HIM WITH STONES, so that he died. 

FALSE WITNESSES ALSO SETUP JESUS AND STEPHEN!

Act 6:11, Then they SECRETLY INDUCED MEN TO SAY, “We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and God.” 

Mat 26:59, Now the chief priests, the elders, and all the council SOUGHT FALSE TESTIMONY AGAINST JESUS TO PUT HIM TO DEATH, 

NABOTH WAS KILLED BY JEZEBEL BECAUSE AHAB COVETED HIS VINEYARD AND WORSE YET THEY ALSO KILLED HIS SONS!

2Ki 9:26, ‘SURELY I SAW YESTERDAY THE BLOOD OF NABOTH AND THE BLOOD OF HIS SONS,’ says the LORD, ‘AND I WILL REPAY YOU IN THIS PLOT,’ SAYS THE LORD….

Psa 140:3, THEY SHARPEN THEIR TONGUES LIKE A SERPENT; THE POISON OF ASPS IS UNDER THEIR LIPS. SELAH

Jer 17:9, “THE HEART IS DECEITFUL ABOVE ALL THINGS, AND DESPERATELY WICKED; WHO CAN KNOW IT? 

THE WICKEDNESS OF MAN IS PROVEN OVER AND OVER AGAIN IN HIS WORD, YET HE STILLS LOVES US? AMAZING LOVE!

Psa 8:4, What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him?
