Psalm 119:17-32, HE shall open your eyes!

GIMEL = ג , 17-24

Psa 119:18, OPEN MY EYES, THAT I MAY SEE WONDROUS THINGS FROM YOUR LAW. 

These are not just words in a book, it’s HIS living word! Not believing in JESUS and reading this book achieves nothing, but once one comes to faith HE opens their eyes to see the truth in HIS word!

2Cor 3:14-16, But their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament, BECAUSE THE VEIL IS TAKEN AWAY IN CHRIST. But even to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart. NEVERTHELESS WHEN ONE TURNS TO THE LORD, THE VEIL IS TAKEN AWAY.

Psa 119:19-20, I AM A STRANGER IN THE EARTH; Do not hide Your commandments from me. MY SOUL BREAKS WITH LONGING FOR YOUR JUDGMENTS AT ALL TIMES.

In knowing Christ JESUS, we know that there is a better way, HIS way! We feel out of place living in this filthy corrupt world! YET, the day is coming when HE shall return to judge the world! HE SHALL BE KING OVER ALL THE EARTH!

Zec 14:9, AND THE LORD SHALL BE KING OVER ALL THE EARTH. In that day it shall be “The LORD is one,” And His name one. 

DALETH = ד , 25-32

Psa 119:30-31, I HAVE CHOSEN THE WAY OF TRUTH; Your judgments I have laid before me. I CLING TO YOUR TESTIMONIES; O LORD, do not put me to shame!

It is a choice that we make for there are two roads before us, HIS way which leads to life, and our way which leads to death!

Pro 14:12, There is a way that seems right to a man, BUT ITS END IS THE WAY OF DEATH. 

Psa 119:32, I WILL RUN THE COURSE OF YOUR COMMANDMENTS, For You shall enlarge my heart.

In verse 25, the Psalmist was close to death and said, “MY SOUL CLINGS TO THE DUST, REVIVE ME ACCORDING TO YOUR WORD”!  Now we see HIM running! This is the work of GOD, for HE is always present willing to help in times of trouble! Trust in the LORD!

Psa 18:36, YOU ENLARGED MY PATH UNDER ME, SO MY FEET DID NOT SLIP. 

2Chronicles 32, More of us!

2Ch 32:1, AFTER THESE DEEDS OF FAITHFULNESS, SENNACHERIB KING OF ASSYRIA CAME AND ENTERED JUDAH…

By following the LORD doesn’t exempt you from the troubles of this world. But, in HIM we will have peace knowing that HE will never leave us nor forsake us!

2Ch 32:7-8, BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS; DO NOT BE AFRAID NOR DISMAYED BEFORE THE KING OF ASSYRIA, nor before all the multitude that is with him; FOR THERE ARE MORE WITH US THAN WITH HIM. with him is an arm of flesh; BUT WITH US IS THE LORD OUR GOD, TO HELP US AND TO FIGHT OUR BATTLES.” … 

Even if just two men were surrounded by a great army, IN THE LORD, WE OUTNUMBER THEM FOR GOD FIGHTS FOR US!

2Ki 6:16-17, So he answered, “DO NOT FEAR, FOR THOSE WHO ARE WITH US ARE MORE THAN THOSE WHO ARE WITH THEM.” And Elisha prayed, and said, “LORD, I pray, open his eyes that he may see. Then the LORD opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. 

2Ch 32:10-11,13, “Thus says Sennacherib king of Assyria: ‘IN WHAT DO YOU TRUST?… DOES NOT HEZEKIAH PERSUADE YOU TO GIVE YOURSELVES OVER TO DIE BY FAMINE AND BY THIRST, saying, “The LORD our God will deliver us from the hand of the king of Assyria”? Do you not know what I and my fathers have done to all the peoples of other lands? WERE THE GODS OF THE NATIONS OF THOSE LANDS IN ANY WAY ABLE TO DELIVER THEIR LANDS OUT OF MY HAND? 

LIKE A ROARING LION BRINGING FEAR AMONGST THE PEOPLE, YET WITH GOD HE IS A TOOTHLESS, FEEBLE, BLIND MAN WITH A CANE! DO NOT FEAR AND SEEK HIM FIRST; FOR IF GOD IS WITH US WHO CAN BE AGAINST US?

Psa 23:4, Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I WILL FEAR NO EVIL; FOR YOU ARE WITH ME; YOUR ROD AND YOUR STAFF, THEY COMFORT ME.
