Palm 119 Day 5 -Teach me

Text Psalm 119 33-40
He
Teach me, O LORD, to follow your decrees; then I will keep them to the end.
Give me understanding, and I will keep your law and obey it with all my heart.
Direct me in the path of your commands, for there I find delight.
Turn my heart toward your statutes and not toward selfish gain.
Turn my eyes away from worthless things; preserve my life according to your word.
Fulfill your promise to your servant, so that you may be feared.
Take away the disgrace I dread, for your laws are good.
How I long for your precepts!
Preserve my life in your righteousness.


What is Christian meditation?
Basically it is asking God to help us.
  • Teach me
  • Give me
  • Direct me
  • Help me to turn my heart
  • Help me to turn my eyes from the worthless things
  • Fulfill your promise
  • Take away the disgrace
It is humbly asking God to mold into the image of his Son.
We are asking God to preserve us in his righteousness.

So our life depends on God's righteousness. What Jesus had done for us, not what we can do for God.

As I grow older, I feel that I must do LESS so that Christ may do more through me.

Less stands for
Listen to the word of God
Empowered by the Spirit of God
Serve Christ and his people
Share the good news of God.

I think this sounds really cute. I am very proud of this acronym. As soon as I know that this is cute, I am becoming proud. Dear LORD, I need your help. Less is not just a theory but this is my life. My mind is always working. I am a micromanaging guy who loves to work on details. I am a workaholic. Love to work non stop.

I am sitting in the cubical. There is no one. All went home. So quiet. So peaceful. So unreal. I think I am able and can do many things but basic things such as learning and how to doing things, I must learn from the Bible. Even that I need God's help. Someone told me that Christian life consists of open arms toward God and asking God's help daily and moment by moment. Dear LORD, I think I know many things but that's not true. Help me to ask your help humbly so that I can do study (Savior teaching uniquely determines you).

It is always good to hear from you. Teach me always so that I may not forget.
Preserve me in your righteousness, not my righteousness
