Part 3 of Psalm 119

17-24 Be generous with me and I'll live a full life;
not for a minute will I take my eyes off your road.
Open my eyes so I can see what you show me of your miracle-wonders.
I'm a stranger in these parts; give me clear directions.
My soul is starved and hungry, ravenous!—insatiable for your nourishing commands.
And those who think they know so much, ignoring everything you tell them—let them have it! Don't let them mock and humiliate me; I've been careful to do just what you said. While bad neighbors maliciously gossip about me, I'm absorbed in pondering your wise counsel. Yes, your sayings on life are what give me delight; I listen to them as to good neighbors!

Hiya,
Glad you found my blog.

I love this part of Psalm 119: "My soul is starved and hungry, ravenous!�insatiable for your nourishing commands." The hard part for me is following those commands. Yet, I am thankful for the hunger, and I will keep "reaching for Him."

Love ya! Tell all of my sista's at FCC hello for me!

Blessings!

I don't know what's up with this Psalm 119 but for some reason, it keeps popping up everywhere. I have seen this Psalm referenced more than any other scripture lately. God must surely be trying to tell me something.

Thanks Missy!
