Psalm 119: Your Word Is a Lamp for My Feet
From Bible Book Club · 32:32
Show by Susan Merrill & Heather Rubio
When you feel lost, where's the best place to turn in the Psalms?This deeply personal psalm shows us practical ways to stay on the right path, why it’s totally normal to feel like a lost sheep at times, and how cultivating a willing heart allows God to meet you right where you are.Psalm 119 is the longest chapter in the entire Bible, wonderfully organized as an alphabetical acrostic. The author uses eight different names for the Word of God in this one psalm. In our Psalm 119 Bible study, we cover:[1:05] Psalm Structure: How all 176 verses of Psalm 119 are organized into 22 stanzas that match the Hebrew alphabet.[2:59] The Deuteronomy Connection: Why this psalm mirrors Moses' final speech.[7:28] Being Blessed: Why Jesus said we are blessed if we hear the Word of God and obey it.[22:27] A Lamp for Your Feet: How Scripture can serve as a practical guide when you can only see one step ahead of you.[26:51] The Lost Sheep Confession: Why even the most passionate believers need rescuing, and how admitting we need a Shepherd brings us right back home.Psalms Show NotesPsalms RoadmapPsalms Prayer ListPsalms Playlist - Listen on Apple MusicPsalms Playlist - Listen on SpotifyPhil Wickham - Psalm 8 (Hallé) [Official Music Video]ACTS Prayer GuideFeasts and FestivalsScene from The ChosenGroup Discussion Questions for Psalm 119[16:01] The psalmist begs God to give him understanding in six specific areas. What is one mystery of God that you wish you understood better? What do you think might happen if you begged God for understanding the way our psalmist did?[22:27] The psalmist prays, "Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path." Is there a specific passage in the Bible you turn to when you need Scripture to guide you through a season of uncertainty or loss?[27:08] Psalm 119 ends with the humble confession, "I have strayed like a lost sheep." Have you ever felt like a lost sheep who wanted to come home but didn't know the way? Does the psalmist's prayer, "Seek your servant," resonate with you?Contact Bible Book Club!Holy Bible, New International Version®, NIV®Copyright © 1973, 1978, 1984, 2011 by Biblica, Inc.Used with permission.
