In observing that Jehovah’s greatness is without limits, David was motivated to praise Him forever
Like David, Jehovah’s loyal servants are moved to make His mighty acts a regular part of their conversations

We Are Wonderfully Made

David meditated on the evidence of God’s good qualities reflected in His creation. He confidently used his life to serve Jehovah.

When David thought deeply about creation, he was moved to praise Jehovah:

  • “I praise you because in an awe-inspiring way I am wonderfully made”
  • “My bones were not hidden from you when I was made in secret, when I was woven in the depths of the earth”
  • “Your eyes even saw me as an embryo; all its parts were written in your book”

TREASURES FROM GOD’S WORD | PSALMS 120-134

“My Help Comes From Jehovah”

Psalms 120 to 134 are known as the Songs of the Ascents. Many believe that these were sung by joyful Israelite worshippers as they ascended to Jerusalem, which was located high in the mountains of Judah, in order to attend the annual festivals.

TREASURES FROM GOD’S WORD | PSALM 119

“Walk in the Law of Jehovah”

To walk in the law of Jehovah means to submit ourselves willingly to divine guidance. We have many good examples in the Bible of those who, like the psalmist, followed Jehovah’s law and relied on him.

True happiness depends on our walking in God’s law

Joshua reads a scroll
Joshua demonstrated full confidence in Jehovah’s direction. He knew that to be happy and successful, he needed to trust in Jehovah with his whole heart

God’s Word gives us the needed courage to cope with life’s trials

Jeremiah prays
Jeremiah showed courage and reliance on Jehovah amid difficult circumstances. He kept his life simple and persevered in his assignment

Accurate knowledge of God’s Word gives us confidence to preach

Paul preaches to Governor Felix
Paul was not afraid to share God’s message with anyone. He had full confidence in Jehovah’s help when he boldly preached to Governor Felix
