Today’s Reading: Psalm 119:9-16
Psalm 119:12 — Blessed are You, O LORD; teach me Your statutes!
God promises stability. What is a biblical statute? Biblical statutes are God’s commandments “engraved” in our hearts, which guide us in His will. The psalmist wanted the Lord to teach him God’s will through God’s Word written in his heart.
The Word of God engraved in our new hearts will enable us to keep our ways pure, not stray, and not sin. Additionally, our hearts are inspired us to bless the Lord, to rejoice in God’s ways, and to find great delight as we meditate on God’s Word.
We need the Word of God to bring stability into our lives. The wicked one is the author of confusion. He wants our thoughts to be scrambled, our feelings to be mixed-up, and our motivations to be perverted so that we can be manipulated by his lies and be divided in our hearts.
Satan hates the oneness that believers have in Christ. He hates the Spirit of grace and wants to destroy the love we have for one another as brothers and sisters in Christ. So the enemy distorts the Word of God whenever and wherever he can so that we live in the instability of natural thinking, feeling, and motivation.
We need the Word engraved in our hearts to teach us the difference between thoughts of life and death, between heavenly affections and earthly, sensual emotions, and between motives grounded in God’s love and those grounded in selfish pride.
O, Lord, teach us Your statutes, Your words of life keep us on a firm foundation of grace and faith!

“Biblical statutes are God’s commandments “engraved” in our hearts, which guide us in His will.”
Even if I try to think and a make decision from God’s perspective, often I follow my natural instinct.
It is right.
God’s word is engraved in my heart.
It protects me from not being lead in my flesh.
Thank you , Jesus.

“성경의 규례는 우리 마음에 “새겨진” 하나님의 계명이며, 이는 우리를 그분의 뜻으로 인도합니다.”
하나님의 관점에서 생각하고 결정하려고 해도 본능에 따라 행동하는 경우가 많습니다.
맞습니다.
하나님의 말씀이 내 마음에 새겨져 있습니다.
그것은 내가 본능적으로 생각치 않도록 나를 보호해 줍니다.
주님, 감사합니다.
