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.

Open to Psalm 119 today and open your heart to the Lord as we join Scott Pauli in this study.

It is our prayer that through God's truth you will find all you need.

There's a great deal of talk right now about how things are changing in our world,

in our lives.

Some people are concentrating on what's been taken away from them.

Some people are fixated on what it seems is being given up.

But today, I want to call your attention to what you have.

In fact, not only what you have, but what you have that you will never lose.

The world didn't give it to you, and the world can't take it away, because it's what you have in God.

Dear Christian friend, don't forget what you have.

We're in Psalm 119, the section that begins with verse 49 and goes to verse 56.

And I think the key to this section is found near the door. You know, if you have an extra key to your home, usually you keep it near the door somewhere.

Sometimes in scripture you find a key found near the front door of a section.

Other times near the back door.

Well, this key is found near the back door.

So go to the back door with me.

Go to the end of the section to verse 56 and listen to this expression,

This I had because I kept thy precepts. Now, let me give you some context to the text.

The previous verses, verse 49 to 55, he talks about all of the difficulty he's going through.

Remember in verse 50, he says, this is my comfort and my affliction.

In verse 51, the proud have had me greatly in derision.
