V1 - Vindicate me, o God, and plead my cause, against unfaithful nation
Rescue me from those who are deceit and wicked.
we can see in n many psalms,
Psalmist crying out for justice from God when he is wrongly accused.
The psalmist is not taking justice in his control or not letting his mouth loose towards oppressors,
but when he faces the unjust in public , he goes privately to His God and pleads for justice.
A Godly Man is one who when wrongly accused does not loose temper, does not loose his tounge, but comes back to God and cries out.
V2 - Complain that why do you leave me.
Although this looks like complain, but it reveals the relationship that psalmist has with His God.
your child will come to you and talk to you but they wont go talk with the neighbours in the same way that they talk to you because of the relationship.
V3 - Send me your light and your truth. Let them lead me guide me.
Light -
Psalm 119:105
Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.
Truth - John 17:17
Gods Word is the Light and Truth.
The Word gives the light.
and we believing the Word as the Truth with out any doubt makes us overcomers.
For example, when the Word says
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
This verse actually gives a Light and your belief to take what the Word of God says asTruth will make difference in lives.
Psalmist says let your Truth and Light lead me.
As soon as Psalmist talks about asking for guidance from light and truth, the tone of the psalm changes from a complaint to praise.
The key to change from a complaining,murmuring, depressed ,unstatisfied life to a life of true worshipper to life of victory,to a life of overcomer is to be led by His Word and absolute and unwavering faith in Gods Word.
For some people reading Gods word is boring.
A teenage girl came to the Church Pastor and said " Pastor , I have a problem, I can read novels or any magazines with lot of interest. if you give me harry porter book i can finish it in 3 days because it excites me a lot,but I want to read this Bible but sorry to say that its boring. Can you please help me or tell me any alternative book.
The Pastor is not surprised as he knows many people like this and said
Daughter, thank you for your honesty and I do appreciate you actually want to read the Word.
there is no alternate book,THIS IS THE BOOK.
But I will give share somethings that can help you.
1) The one who can create interest in you for His Word is the Author Himself -so go ask the Author before you read everyday to help you create that interest, and He gives His Spirit to you to read.
2) Bible is a very personal book, unlike the novels you read which many times does not relate to your life at all, but this Bible talks about your everyday life. So WRITE DOWN what it says for your life this day. and you know what the Author means that Word for you today.
3) Bible is the best Group Book that you can find on earth. the Best book to share.
Share whatever you read to your friends,family which not only impacts you but others.
4) Above all, Spend time with the Author, Know Him, Love Him and you will easily understand His Word.
Then at the seminary college, there is a gatekeeper who is reading the Book of revelation,
and some of the theology professsors who are going that way saw that gatekeeper is reading revelation and asked Him, hey this revelation is difficult subject even for theologians like us, and you are reading this, what do you understand in this book , then the gatekeeper said, Simple, Jesus Wins.
Then this pastor showed this girl about that gatekeeper and said a simple faith like that will make you understand the complex of scriptures.
So let this Word be your light.
