Read Numbers 32, Psalm 119:1-40, Acts 1-2
What acrostics do you know and remember that help you remember something important? Maybe it’s the order of operations in math, (Please My Dear Aunt Sally) or the word ACTS that teaches us the different parts of prayer (Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, and Supplication). Psalm 119 is the longest chapter in the Bible. It is 176 verses long. It is an anonymous psalm that is in the acrostic of the Hebrew alphabet (22 characters) from Aleph to Taw. Each letter has 8 verses and the entire psalm centers around the Word of God. You cannot tell it English, but in Hebrew each of the corresponding stanzas start with the Hebrew letter.
“Blessed are they whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the law of the Lord” v. 1. The unknown author uses many different words for the Scripture from precepts, decrees, statues, laws, and commands. What are some of the reasons you are thankful for God Word in your life? What are some of the benefits it has brought to your life?
