Psalm 119:113-120 || Ep. 235 - Hope, Hate, and Holding On

The Dwelling Richly Podcast

What do "hope" and "hate" have to do with "How to Study the Bible"? Today, we're diving into another exciting part of our "How to Study the Bible" series. We'll be breaking down a section from Psalm 119, specifically verses 113 to 120, focusing on the letter Samech. Isn't it fascinating how God's Word is meticulously crafted to aid our memory and spiritual growth? We'll explore the intense emotions of the psalmist, from hating double-mindedness to finding hope in God's law. Plus, I'll share some cool connections to other Bible passages and how they can help us be better students of the Word. Grab your Bible and join me as we unpack these verses together!

Dwelling in the Word and letting the Word dwell in us richly is different than reading the Bible or reading a devotional with Bible passages. Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly and return the favor by dwelling in the Word - not "doing" Bible study, not simply reading - but moving into the Word with heart, soul, mind, and strength. It's being intentional in making a shift from treating the Word of God like a self-help book to letting it dwell in us as the living Word of God that it is.
