Choosing the Good Part
In Luke’s gospel we read of an occasion when two sisters received a visit from the Lord. Those two sisters made two choices – one of these choices reflected the right priorities. Both of these women provide important lessons for us today.

The Psalm of the Word (Conclusion)
As we have seen throughout this study, the theme of Psalm 119 is the word of God. Yet this is such a deep topic that we were able to consider twenty-two unique lessons about what the word of God is, what it does for us, and what it requires of us. My hope is that a study like this will leave us with a greater appreciation for the word of God that has been revealed to us in the Scriptures.

The Psalm of the Word (Part 22): Praise
Let my cry come before You, O Lord;
Give me understanding according to Your word.Let my supplication come before You;
Deliver me according to Your word.Let my lips utter praise,
For You teach me Your statutes.Let my tongue sing of Your word,
For all Your commandments are righteousness.Let Your hand be ready to help me,
For I have chosen Your precepts.I long for Your salvation, O Lord,
And Your law is my delight.Let my soul live that it may praise You,
And let Your ordinances help me.I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek Your servant,
For I do not forget Your commandments.(Psalm 119:169-176)
This final stanza focuses on the need to praise God because of His word. We noticed this point a little bit in the previous lesson. The thoughts expressed in these verses are a fitting conclusion to the psalm and our study of it. Given all that we have learned about God’s word, we should praise Him.

The Psalm of the Word (Part 21): Reverence
Princes persecute me without cause,
But my heart stands in awe of Your words.I rejoice at Your word,
As one who finds great spoil.I hate and despise falsehood,
But I love Your law.Seven times a day I praise You,
Because of Your righteous ordinances.Those who love Your law have great peace,
And nothing causes them to stumble.I hope for Your salvation, O Lord,
And do Your commandments.My soul keeps Your testimonies,
And I love them exceedingly.I keep Your precepts and Your testimonies,
For all my ways are before You.(Psalm 119:161-168)
In this lesson, we will focus on the idea of reverence. If we fear God, we should hold His word in the highest regard. This will necessarily lead us to respond in a certain way toward His word.
