Summary

(Psalm 119:25-32) The Christian life can be described as one of utter dependence and complete obedience.

0:00.0	The longest Psalm in the Bible is Psalm 119. It has been called the Psalm of the Scriptures because it concentrates on one thing, the amazing sufficiency of God's word for our lives.
0:27.0	Open to Psalm 119 today and open your heart to the Lord as we join Scott Pauli in this study.
0:31.6	It is our prayer that through God's truth, you will find all you need. If you had to boil the Christian life down to one phrase, to one description of what that life looks like, what it's supposed to be at least, I would describe it this way.
0:51.0	It is a life of dependence and obedience. Think of that just a moment.
0:57.3	On one hand, utter faith, utter dependence. We are nothing, God is everything. We need Christ.
1:04.9	We're leaning not to our understanding. We're leaning on the Lord. It is a life of utter dependence.
1:09.4	And on the other side, it is to be a life of complete obedience.
1:15.3	So as surely as we believe the Lord, we're called on to obey the Lord.

1:46.6	It connects the Word of God to our lives.
1:48.1	I believe that this section is teaching us our utter dependence
1:52.7	and the deliberate obedience that God desires on His Word.
1:58.5	When I'm recording these particular studies, I have two things in front of me. I have
2:04.2	my Bible, and that's a good thing, right? Hope you have your Bible in front of you, at least sometime
2:09.2	today. I hope you have the Word of God in front of you and read the Word of God. There's no book like
2:13.3	God's book. And then I have my journal in front of me. And I'll tell you why. Because this year,
2:18.2	I've been writing the words of Psalm 119 out in my journal. I found that even I write the words
2:25.2	of God, it's calling my attention a certain thing and reminding me of things and connecting things
