Psalm chapter 119 verse

my eyes shed streams of tears

because people do not keep your law.

What a verse! I just stop and think for a moment.

Is that true of your life, of my life, when we see

disobedience to God's word around us when we see dishonoring of God's word, when we see disregarding of God's

word, do we weep over that?

And streams of tears flow from our eyes because we have such high regard for God's

word that it breaks our hearts and leads us to cry when God's word is not revered and

honored and obeyed. Oh, even as I'm meditating on this, I need to confess when I see

for example immorality in the culture around me and a total disregard for God's word.

Streams of tears are not flowing from my eyes.

Like I want to love God's. flowing from my eyes.

Like I want to love God's word like this.

And I want to lead us to pray that we would all love God's word like this, that it would break our hearts when we see

sin around us, when we see sin in us that would literally bring us to tears and in the process to compassion

for those who are not keeping God's law to love them, which is clearly the spirit of Jesus in us when he saw

the crowds, Matthew 9, he had compassion on them, and he knew that it was not good for them to be disobeying or disregarding God's law.

And so he wept for them, Luke 1941, tells us.

His eyes shed streams of tears when he saw people who were in sin under God's judgment and not revering and honoring his word.

So God, we pray for the spirit of Jesus and us.
