Service Notes
Prayer for Resthaven
Announce Beau’s first Sunday is the 18th
Introduction
Opening Question:
If you get 10-15 minutes to explain your life.
Where do you start?
What would your testimony say about the Word of God?
Tonight we continue our Psalm 119
17th of 22 letters in Hebrew alphabet
We have seen many action verbs on this journey
Let’s walk through this together
Singing the word Psalm 119:172 “172 My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy commandments are righteousness.”
Speak the word.
Psalm 119:13 “13 With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth.”
Studying the Word Psalm 119:15 “15 I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways.”
Storing up God’s Word Psalm Psalm 119:93 “93 I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me.”
Obeying God’s Word Psalm 119:129 “129 PE.
Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them.”
Praising God for His Word Psalm 119:164 “164 Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous judgments.”
Praying that God would act according to his word Psalm 119:147 “147 I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word.”
Tonight in our Text we will see
LOVE God’s Word (make a sacrifice of self to read it)
LONG for God’s Word (a natural reaction to loving it)
LEAN on God’s Word (obey what you read and see it proven true)
LAMENT over God’s Word (another natural response to loving)
Ask Beau to join me up front and bring his Bible
Our lives should be shaped by this Word.
Core Value: · Text Driven Preaching
That is not all.
Text Driven Lives and Ministries
This is what I have asked Beau to help us with.
Ask Beau about His Bible.
Praying together we will facilitate the ministry of the Word in our church and this community.
2 Thess 3:1 “1 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you:”
Ask Beau to read passage & invite missionaries to come up after the prayer.
Let’s stand together - because we will shake hands after the time of prayer and as missionaries make their way up here.
Psalm 119:129–136 (KJV)
129 PE.
Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them.
130 The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.
131 I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments.
132 Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name.
133 Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.
134 Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy precepts.
135 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me thy statutes.
136 Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy law.
Life changing love for God’s Word
Psalm 119:129-130 “129 PE.
Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them.
130 The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.”
Wonderful
This is one of the words in this passage that starts with the letter “pei”
What is your word of choice for good things?
It is generational.
It is based on vocabulary.
We tend to overstate the obvious and understate the incredible.
In the 70 uses of the word in the OT they are almost always in regard to God
Wonderful is expressing actions that are beyond the bounds of human powers or expectations.
This idea is well expressed by the psalmist Psalm 118:23 “23 This is the LORD’S doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.”
“The word ‘wonderful’ is equivalent to our use of the word miraculous.
These testimonies are supernatural, superhuman.”
(Morgan)
What is wonderful?
Psalm 119:129-130 “129 PE.
Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them.
130 The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.”
Remember the synonyms we find of Psalm 119

129 PE.
Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them.
130 The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.
131 I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments.
132 Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name.
133 Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.
134 Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy precepts.
135 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me thy statutes.
136 Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy law.
“Thy commands are wonderful.
Full of wonderful revelations, commands and promises.
Wonderful in their nature, as being free from all error, and bearing within themselves overwhelming self evidence of their truth; wonderful in their effects as instructing, elevating, strengthening, and comforting the soul.
Jesus the eternal Word is called Wonderful, and all the uttered words of God are wonderful in their degree.
Those who know them best wonder at them most”.
CHS
Word of God has earned the right
Psalm 119:129 “129 PE.
Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them.”
The enduring, abiding delight he had in the word of God prompted greater obedience.
These are the Words of God.
He has rights to my life.
His Words will dictate my life.
His Words have won my heart by being wonderful.
The Bible is not Rachel to us when we wanted to marry Leah.
“Holy admiration of the testimonies will kindle spiritual devotedness to them – Therefore doth my soul keep them.”
(Bridges)
Why are they wonderful?
Entrance of the Word into my life brought life!
Psalm 119:130 “130 The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.”
Won’t forget the touch lamp beside my sisters bed on the night she shared with me the Gospel.
God’s Word’s brought light into my life and continues to do so.
