Psalm 119
Hi all, Today I decided to share a few verses in psalm 119 and what I understand about it.
"Blessed are those who keep His testimonies.
Who seek him with their whole heart.
Who also do no wrong.
But walk in His ways." Psalm 119: 2-3
One meaning of the word testimony is the tablet bearing the mosaic law. The mosaic law is the 10 commandments. If we obey these we are blessed and this is so not difficult. This is not difficult because there are only 10 rules to obey.
Blessed means feeling like a lucky person. And feeling happy that all is well with your world.
If we keep the testimonies of God we are blessed. We are also blessed if we seek Him with our whole heart.
To be blessed by God we just have to seek Him with our whole heart. Meaning with all our being we have to seek God. What does it mean to seek God with our whole heart? To seek God with our whole heart means just always trying to find answers from Him. This means praying about things that bother us. Sometimes it is a foolish thing we said. Then we can take it to God. We can take everything in our life to God. Different people may have different ways of seeking God. Some people pray Bible verses. Some people attend mass. Some people do Bible study. Some people meditate on the word of God. Some people just pray their own words about their concerns. No matter which way you choose it just has to be sincere. That is also part of seeking God with our whole heart. We cannot be half hearted.
Also sometimes inspite of all these things we may feel that we are not seeking Him with all our heart. There is yet another way. That is ask God for help in seeking God with all our heart. That way you lay the burden on God to help you seek Him with all your heart. Then you will be blessed.
In addition we get a blessing when we seek Him with our whole heart. The blessing is we automatically walk in His ways. This means we walk in a way that is pleasing to Him and we automatically do no wrong. Walk in a way that pleases Him means obey the commandments and be
happy, holy people.
In general God likes it if we are happy, courageous, kind, generous, polite, respectful, pure, holy, sincere. God really would like us to take other decisions in our life by ourselves such as what sports team to support or what to wear for a certain event. God likes us to be as beautiful as we possibly can be.
I hope you have a lovely day!
