Daily Bites Of God's Word - Part 24 - Psalm 119:24

00:13

Hello, welcome back to Daily Bites of God's Word. This is Andy Cain. It's a joy to be back with you once again. Today we are looking at Psalm 119 verse 23.

00:22

It says, even though princes sit and talk against me, your slave muses on your statutes.

00:29

This is a verse here where the psalmist is making it clear that things are going to happen.

00:35

People are going to talk. There's going to be things done around you. People are not always going to approve of your worldview or the things that you do for God, and princes, anybody really here could sit, conspire against you, talk against you, say whatever manner of evil they want against you, and the focus is not on them.

00:56

The focus is not on what they're saying. The focus is not on what they're trying to do to you. The focus here for David is the statutes and the commands and the

01:05

Word of God. If you remember Psalm 119, the whole theme of it is about the

01:10

Word of God and how important it is and how we're to be living in it, reading it, studying it, and applying it, and he makes this abundantly clear here.

01:19

It doesn't matter to me who talks about me, who says what about me. I'm going to focus on the

01:25

Word of God. I'm going to focus on keeping it, loving it, observing it, musing over it, meditating on it, and applying it to my life.

01:35

And so I encourage you today, I hope this is the way you approach it, that no matter what storms are around you, no matter what may be going on in your life, that you will continually muse and think on and study and apply in obedience because of the faith you have in Christ, the

01:56

Word of God. Amen? Well, I want to thank you for joining me on this daily bite of God's Word. God bless you.
