God’s Law is precious and life-giving, so says Psalm 119, and the psalmist just cannot get enough of it. One commentator has said, “[I]f he’s not gushing over the beauty and wonder of the Law, [the Psalmist is] asking God to make him even more excited about it— all while asking God for help in keeping [the Law].…” So, sometimes it’s hard to read Psalm 119 and not get a little humbled and feel inadequate. What do we do with that feeling if we have it? Pastor Chris suggests that a look at the life of Christ and His parables give us some answers.
Join us for a look at a portion of Psalm 119 and a reflection on Jesus' Parable of the Seed and Sower.
