Daily Bites Of God's Word - Part 50 - Psalm 119:50

HELLO, WELCOME BACK TO DATED BITES OF GOD'S WORD, THIS IS ANDY KANE, IT IS A JOY TO BE BACK WITH YOU ONCE AGAIN.

TODAY WE HAVE ARRIVED AT PSALM 119, VERSE 50. WE HAVE MADE IT THROUGH 50

VERSES OF THIS PSALM, AND IT HAS BEEN A JOY FOR ME, AND I HOPE IT HAS BEEN A JOY FOR YOU. IT SAYS, THIS IS MY COMFORT IN MY INFLICTION, THAT YOUR WORD HAS REVIVED ME.

THIS WORD REVIVED, IT MEANS PRESERVED ME ALIVE, THAT THIS IS, THIS IS THE THING YOU HEAR IN EVERY TESTIMONY, IN EVERYTHING EVERY SAINT OF GOD HAS EVER TALKED ABOUT THEIR LIFE, IN ALL THEIR HARD TIMES, AND THEIR TRIALS, AND THEIR SUFFERINGS, THIS IS THE FOUNDATION OF EVERY TESTIMONY.

IT'S MY COMFORT IN MY INFLICTION, IN MY SUFFERING, IN WHATEVER I'M GOING THROUGH, AND WHEREVER I FIND MYSELF, NO MATTER WHAT, THAT YOUR WORD HAS KEPT ME, OR RESERVED ME ALIVE, IT'S REVIVED ME, IT'S KEPT ME GOING.

AND WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THAT YOUR WORD HAS REVIVED ME, YOU COULD STILL SAY THAT GOD HAS REVIVED ME, GOD HAS KEPT ME ALIVE, BUT WE SEE SO OFTEN IN A CHRISTIAN'S LIFE, THEY 'LL

BE TALKING ABOUT THEIR TESTIMONY, WHAT THEY 'VE BEEN THROUGH, HOW THEY 'VE GONE THROUGH IT, AND USUALLY WHAT 'LL

HAPPEN IS THEY 'LL SAY, I HEARKEN BACK MY MIND TO THAT VERSE I READ, OR I GO BACK IN MY MIND'S EYE AND I THINK ABOUT THAT TEXT, I THINK ABOUT THAT PASSAGE, I THINK ABOUT THAT BIBLE CHARACTER, OR THAT PERSON IN THE BIBLE I READ ABOUT, I THINK ABOUT THAT SERMON, I THINK ABOUT THAT BOOK I READ THAT WAS TALKING ABOUT A PARTICULAR BOOK OF THE BIBLE, IT TAKES SO MANY DIFFERENT FORMS, BUT THE CONSISTENT MESSAGE IS THAT IT'S THE WORD OF GOD THAT IS THE LITERAL ANCHOR OF OUR SOULS, IT'S THE THING THAT KEEPS YOU GOING WHEN YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE GOING ANYMORE.

What's anchoring you, my friends? What is holding you up? What is your comfort in the day of affliction?

Is it yourself? Is it drugs? Is it some other sin? Or is it the

Word of God? Is it God Himself? Is that your comfort? Has my comfort been my comfort so many times in my life?

And God's Word has truly preserved me alive in so many cases. Amen? Well, I want to thank you for joining me on this
