Psalm 119: The Lord is mine and I am His Sep 12, 2025

I love how the Psalmist begins this portion of Psalm 119from the NLT. He states without apology, “Lord, you are mine!”

He is exclaiming that he has a personal, close relationship with the Lord God Almighty.

As followers of Jesus, we can also publicly claim that the Lord is mine because we believe in the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus, God’s son.

In today's episode, we will unpack Psalm 119:57-64 and learn why the Psalmist can confidently say that the Lord is mine. You will also be invited to accept Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, so you can claim that you are the Lord's.

Psalm 119: Incline My Heart and Change My Perspective Jun 17, 2025

Show notes

In this portion of Psalm 119, we observe the psalmist sending God an email or a DM, as it were, by prayer, asking God to teach and give him understanding. He asks the Lord to lead him and to help him incline his heart to follow him. He asks God to help him change his perspective by turning his eyes back to God and away from worthless things. To confirm to him his promises contained within Scripture and help him to repent of anything in his life that God would disapprove of.

Along with the psalmist asking God through prayer for these things, he makes committed responses to the Lord.
