Open My Eyes That I May See Wonderful Things In Your Law

Be good to your servant while I live, that I may obey your word.

Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in your law.

I am a stranger on earth; do not hide your commands from me.

My soul is consumed with longing for your laws at all times.

You rebuke the arrogant, who are accursed, those who stray from your commands.

Remove from me their scorn and contempt, for I keep your statutes.

Though rulers sit together and slander me, your servant will meditate on your decrees.

Your statutes are my delight; they are my counselors.

Psalm 119:17-24

The Word of God comes to us in many forms. Bible-centered preaching. Scripture reading, songs, study groups, and devotional articles bring to us the truths of God from Scripture. But we can’t overlook personal reading and studying either.

The Holy Spirit comes alongside the Word of God to teach, empower, instruct, convict, and purify us. The result is understanding, repentance, renewal, and growth in Jesus. Let’s pray with the psalmist: “Open my eyes, that I may see wondrous things from Your law” so that we may live it out in out in our lives.

When the Word of God is within us, it flows out from our life.
