Part of the incomprehensible miracle of inspiration is that God used the personality, experiences, and even words of each Scripture writer so that the result was not only what the writer wanted to say but also exactly what God wanted to say. There is no better example of this than in the Psalms. We see the whole gamut of human experience—the positives and the negatives—but God is in it all and controlling it all. Sometimes we see a psalmist at the absolute lowest point of his life, and at other times at the highest, but God used it all to convey His truth with absolute precision. Psalm 119 is such a psalm. We see the writer lofty and low, diligent and discouraged, fearless and frightened, victorious and vanquished. The more we read, however, we discover his secret. While many Christians today are looking for the newest trend for their excitement, or seeking the answers to problems by reading the latest self-help book, the psalmist always went to the Word of God: only there did he find everything. This magnificent Psalm is devoted to praising the virtues, merits, and sufficiency of the Word of God and demonstrates the author's total commitment to it. The present, the, is a complete, verse-by-verse, usually word-by-word, exposition. Based on a series of messages preached on consecutive Lord's Day mornings from July 2007 through January 2008, it is rich in word studies, clearly outlined, and carefully applied. It is meant to be an encouragement, challenge, and source of growth to God's people.
