Psalm 119 Challenge

This past Sunday I challenged the church to read through Psalm 119 during the next week. Psalm 119 is a great Psalm to read to build a passion in your heart for the Word of God. I came away from reading Psalm 119 with a greater desire to study and meditate on the scriptures. What is God saying to us today? As we prayerfully read through the scriptures we will hear God speak to us. 

Take up the challenge- post your insights here.

Even before Sunday the Lord had already impressed upon Ed Allen's heart to read through Psalm 119 and to post on his Facebook page the insights he had on each verse. Below is one of his posts:

A Slow Walk through Psalm 119
Fully obeyed

You have laid down precepts that are to be fully obeyed. (Psalm 119:4 NIV)

I have a regular schedule.  I do certain things on Mondays and other
things on Tuesdays.  The laws of the state are different.  The speed limit
on the highway is the same every day, during rush hour and late at night
when there is no traffic.

I like to order fish on the menu at restaurants, but I never choose
oysters. The laws of the state are different.  Not only must I obey the
speed limit every day, but I must also stop at red lights.

I don't have the option of choosing which days of the week I'll obey the
greatest commandment (Matthew 22:36-40)--- "love the Lord your God." I can't love Him on Sunday, and ignore Him the rest of the week.  I don't have the option of choosing which neighbor to love as myself (the second
commandment), and which I'll avoid. I can't choose my favorite verses and
be excused from the others.

God's Word is not limited by my schedule.  God's Word is not a menu from
which I pick what I like.  God's Word is to be "fully obeyed."
--- Ed Allen
