Psalm 119:137-176 Part 4 of 4 TLB

Psalm 19:7-14 God's laws are perfect. They protect us, and make us wise,

and give us joy and light.

God's laws are pure, eternal, just.

They are more desirable than gold. They are sweeter than honey dripping from a honeycomb.

For they warn us away from harm and give success to those who obey them.

But how can I ever know what sins are lurking in my heart? Cleanse me from these hidden faults.

And keep me from deliberate wrongs; help me to stop doing them. Only then can I be free of guilt and innocent of some great crime.

May my spoken words and unspoken thoughts be pleasing even to you, O Lord my Rock and my Redeemer.

Proverbs 3:1-2 My son, never forget the things I've taught you.

If you want a long and satisfying life, closely follow my instructions.

Deuteronomy 8:1-2 "You must obey all the commandments I give you today. If you do, you will not only live, you will multiply and will go in and take over the land promised to your fathers by the Lord.

Do you remember how the Lord led you through the wilderness for all those forty years, humbling you and testing you to find out how you would respond, and whether or not you would really obey him?

Isaiah 53:1-6 But, oh, how few believe it! Who will listen? To whom will God reveal his saving power?

In God's eyes he was like a tender green shoot, spouting from a root in dry and sterile ground. But in our eyes there was no attractiveness at all, nothing to make us want him.

We despised him and rejected him--a man of sorrows, acquainted with bitterest grief. We turned our backs on him and looked the other way when he went by. He was despised, and we didn't care.

Yet it was our grief he bore, our sorrows that weighted him down. And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God, for his own sins!

But he was wounded and bruised for our sins. He was beaten that we might have peace; he was lashed--and we were healed!

We--every one of us-- have strayed away like sheep! We, who left God's paths to follow our own. Yet God laid on him the guilt and sins of every one of us!

Luke 21:32-36 I solemnly declare to you that when these things happen, the end of this age has come.

And though all heaven and earth shall pass away, yet my words remain forever true.

"Watch out! Don't let my sudden coming catch you unawares; don't let me find you living in careless ease,

carousing and drinking, and occupied with the problems of this life, like all the rest of the world.

Keep a constant watch. And pray that if possible you may arrive in my presence without having to experience these horrors."
