Freedom in Christ Jesus
Live in the light of God (Isaiah 2:5)
Psalm 119:41-56 The VoiceVav41 May Your unfailing love find me, O Eternal One.
Keep Your promise, and save me;
42 When that happens, I will have a good response for anyone who taunts me
because I have faith in Your word.
43 Do not take Your message of truth from my mouth
because I wait and rely on Your just decisions.
44 Therefore I will follow Your teachings,
forever and ever.
45 And I will live a life of freedom
because I pursue Your precepts.
46 I will even testify of Your decrees before royalty
and will not be humiliated.
47 I will find my joy in Your commands,
which I love,
48 And I will raise my hands to Your commands, which I love,
and I will fix my mind on what You require. Zayin49 Do not forget Your promise to Your servant;
through it, You have given me hope.
50 This brings me solace in the midst of my troubles:
that Your word has revived me.
51 Those who are proud cruelly ridicule me,
but I keep to the steady path of Your teachings.
52 I have considered Your ancient rulings, O Eternal One,
and their memory brings me comfort.
53 Burning anger rises in me, has me in its grip
because the unrighteous abandon Your teachings.
54 As I journey through this life,
Your statutes are my song.
55 O Eternal One, through the night, I stop to recall Your name.
That’s how I live according to Your teachings.
56 This has become my practice:
to keep Your ordinances. For ReflectionThe desire to obey and proclaim God's word is the pathway to freedom. We grow into grace as we experience God's deliverance and his loving-kindness. It is that grace that frees us from the human conventions that sometimes run counter to God's will. Even through suffering and ridicule, following the teachings of Christ will sustain us and give us hope. PrayPray, and let the Holy Spirit guide your life. Pray, surrender yourself to the One who loves as God loves. Pray and live according to the Way of Jesus.
