Psalm 119:129-136

Overview: 
Because Your Word is so wonderful, I keep it. As Your Word unfolds it give off the light of understanding that helps even the simple minded to comprehend its truths. I have such longing for your Word, I am like a dog who opens wide it's mouth and pants w/ anticipation of being fed. Be gracious to me because you love those who love Your name. Don't let sin get the better of me, plant my feet solidly in your Word. I want always to be obedient to Your Word - keep oppressors from me; make Your face shine upon me; teach me your laws. I weep (my eyes shed streams of water) when I do not keep your Word.
Application:
Some really powerful word pictures: v. 131 "I opened my mouth wide and panted ...longed for your commandments." v. 136 "My eyes shed streams of water, because they do not keep Your law." What longing and what conviction the writer feels! God, give me that passion for your Word. I don't want to just talk about it, I want to feel it like David with my whole being. Make me love you and Your Word so much that I pant for it, and weep when I do not obey it!!
