Focus On The Word Of God

 This beautifully written Psalm has its entire Focus On The Word Of God which contains the instructions of our Heavenly Father. How we need the Word of God, for it is our daily food and it is refreshment for our souls. How we should treasure the Word of God, for it is our guide and teacher, our strength, and our defense. 
 We are not only servants and students of the Word, but we are sons and daughters of its Author which should stir our hearts to search the Scriptures daily.  In our search, we will discover the truths in which the Lord desires to teach and train us, as well as the areas in which He seeks to guard and correct us. As His children, we should treasure His Word in our hearts that we might not sin against Him. 
 When our eyes are open and earnestly looking to Jesus, they are not searching out the things of this world. When our heart is gasping for the Lord, it is not lusting after the things of the flesh. But when our eyes are closed in disinterest or discouragement, our own imagination can be funneled in to a wrong direction.
​ Let us look to the Lord in excitement and open our eyes in prayerful expectation that we will see the wonderful things that are written in Scripture and contemplate on the glories that are contained in the Word of God.
Psalm 119:18 Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in your law.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we pray that You will open our eyes, that we too may behold wonderful things from Your Law. Open our eyes so that we may contemplate the glories of Your person and gain nourishment from Your instruction. Open our eyes, we pray, to see the wonderful truths in the precious Word of God. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
