There is much to say about God's laws, precepts, statutes, and commands in Psalms 119. The author not only has a deep passion for the things of God but he also possesses a teachable spirit. This being the first day back to school for students should only help to impress upon us more our personal need to have and maintain a teachable spirit throughout our lives. When we feel that we have nothing left to learn, our ignorance becomes apparent. Not only is this principle true in worldly matters, but it is also applicable to the spiritual world. Do you feel that you no longer need to read God's Word because you have done that before or do you see no need to be persistent in prayer because God has yet to answer? Ask God to forgive you for your ignorance if so. "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (I John 1:9).
Near the end of Paul's spiel on singleness versus marriage, he takes some time in I Corinthians 7:29-31 to remind his audience of the urgency of the gospel message. Paul is saying that one should be about the Father's business (Matthew 28:19-20) whether he is married or not. Paul is right. Time is running short and we must get this message out before it is too late. What are you doing today to help spread the good news?
