Today take time to read this portion of Psalm 119 slowly and let the Psalmist lead you into identifying aspects of your relationship to God.

V.
Psalm 119:73-80 (NRSVue)

Your hands have made and fashioned me;
       give me understanding that I may learn your commandments.
Those who fear you shall see me and rejoice,
       because I have hoped in your word.
I know, O Lord, that your judgments are right
       and that in faithfulness you have humbled me.
Let your steadfast love become my comfort
       according to your promise to your servant.
Let your mercy come to me, that I may live,
       for your law is my delight.
Let the arrogant be put to shame,
       for they have subverted me with guile;
       as for me, I will meditate on your precepts.
Let those who fear you turn to me,
       so that they may know your decrees.
May my heart be blameless in your statutes,
       so that I may not be put to shame.

VI.
Take some aspect of what the Psalmist claims about his relationship to God and see where that leads you in considering your relationship to God.

For example –

• “… in your faithfulness you have humbled me.”
• “Let your steadfast love become my comfort according to your promise …”

To what does the Psalmist draw your attention?
