Psalm 119:9-16

How can I keep my way pure (v 9)?

Pure: morally clean, cleansed, to speak justly, to acquit

• seek the Lord with my whole heart – with all that I am (v 10)
• to store up God’s Word in my heart (v 11)
• have a heart that is teachable (v 12)
• continually speak God’s Word aloud – to myself and others (v 13)
• find my delight in the Word and not the world (v 14, 16)
• meditate on God’s Word – think about it throughout my day (v 15)
• fix my eyes on God’s ways (v 15)
• do not forget God’s Word – preach the gospel to myself daily (v 16)

Highlight

Don’t be afraid to interact with the text. Highlight. Underline. Make notes in the margins. Write prayers in the corners. Date passages that help you through a trial. Write people’s names beside verses that you pray over them.

When you look back – years from now – you will be amazed at what the Lord has revealed to you, taught you, and brought you through.

Psalm 119:1-8

{We will take this psalm by segments bc it’s all so amazing and we don’t want to miss any of it.}

When we study God’s Word – it changes our attitudes and our actions.

Bible Study Tips A to Z: “G”

God

Every word of Scripture is breathed out by God (2 Timothy 3:16.) He is on every page.

A good question to ask ourselves when studying Scripture is, “What does this tell me about God?” What is being revealed about his character, his will, his ways?

Lord, reveal yourself and help us to know you more.
