Praying with the Psalms II 5/5: Happiness is found in God's law

by Gary Lee

Passages:

They are happy whose life is
blameless. Who follow God’s law!
They are happy those who do his will.
Seeking him with all their hearts.

You have laid down your precepts
To be obeyed with care.
May my footsteps be firm
To obey your statues.

Bless your servant and I shall live
And obey your word.
Open my eyes that I may consider
The wonders of your law.

Teach me the demands of your statues
And I will keep them to the end.
Train me to observe your law,
To keep it with my heart.

Ps 118(119):1-2, 4-5, 17-18, 33-34

Be doers of the word and not just hearers who only deceive themselves. For anyone who listens to the word and fails to do it is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror. After seeing his reflection, he goes off and immediately forgets what he looked like.
James 1:22-24

The virgin’s name was Mary. And he came to her and said, “Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you” But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered in her mind what sort of greeting this might be. And the angel said to her “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. And Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I have no husband?” And the angel said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you…For with God nothing will be impossible.” And Mary said, “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.”

Luke 1:26-34

He replied, “My mother and my brethren are those who hear the Word of God and put it into practice.”

Luke 8:21

Teach me, o Lord, the way of your statues, and i will keep them to the end.

Psalm 119:33
