Today's Meditation - Psalms
Psalm 119:9-16
This second section of the psalm focuses on the Hebrew letter beth. Again, every verse begins with a word in the Hebrew whose first letter is beth. This letter is the first letter that begins the Bible’s message in Genesis 1:1. Within this section we notice the emphasis on the need of cleansing and the importance of God’s Word in accomplishing that in our lives. The Bible is a great protection and power in dealing with sin and its many allurements, and it also convicts us and gives us the understanding we need to change our lifestyle and to allow the Holy Spirit through the Word of God to control our sinful desires and to manifest the beauty of the Lord through all we say and do.
Verse for Meditation: Verse 11 – “Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against Thee.”
