Teach Me Thy Statutes (Psalm 119:12)

Ken

“Blessed art Thou, O LORD: teach me Thy statutes” (Psalm 119:12 KJV). This is God’s teachable moment for His children. It starts with the LORD’s happiness, for blessed means happy in both the OT and NT. In a right relationship with God, our righteousness is to seek to make God happy, for right relationship and righteousness are interchangeable. When our goal is to make the Teacher happy, then we best are able to learn the curriculum of His Word. And, unlocking the power of God’s Word is valuable for every situation of our life. “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works” (2Timothy 3:16-17). It is never too late to learn! Blessed Father, make today my day to learn of Your Word and its application to every situation of my life. May my children and their children learn the righteousness of making You happy, for when You are happy, then we are happy. Lord Jesus, return quickly and deliver us. Amen and amen.
