Psalm 119: Lamed 89-96
(Kiln blog is still not working properly, so this Bible lesson is posted here only.) We celebrate God’s faithfulness; you can’t go wrong trusting His revelation. The psalmist declares that the Lord’s self-disclosure stands eternally in the Spirit Realm. Destroy … Continue reading
Psalm 119: Kaph
This octet offers us Hope in the Darkness. The Hebrew culture viewed time altogether differently than Westerners do today. The psalmist is fully aware that a part of the Curse of the Fall was locking our human awareness into a … Continue reading
Psalm 119: Yod 73-80
The psalmist shows us the Path of Justice. It could also be seen as retribution if we understand the justice of being rescued from those who deny God’s revelation. We learn to be patient as God corrects us and makes … Continue reading
119: Teth 65-72

Psalm 119: Vav 41-48
The psalmist shows us a Life without Shame. The emphasis is on what the New Testament refers to as our witness before the world. We start off with a picture of a servant’s petition for God to permit His Covenant … Continue reading
Psalm 119: He 33-40
Here we have a prayer for conviction. The psalmist cries out for God to build a desire and sense of divine necessity. The initial mention here of teaching uses a Hebrew word that paints a picture of pouring out something, … Continue reading
Psalm 119: Daleth 25-32
In this octet is the Way of Strength, as the word for “road” is used repeatedly. The psalmist complains of a human frailty he finds all too obvious. The first line refers not to some kind of desire, but that … Continue reading

Loving the Law
Take a look at Psalm 119. It’s long, so maybe just skim through it. You’ll see constant references to David proclaiming his undying love for the the Law. Sure, we could unwind that, abstract it to include the whole Bible. … Continue reading
