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.

Have you ever made a wrong turn?

The only thing worse than a wrong turn is to continually make wrong turns

and try to sort it out on your own and you get more lost than you were to start with.

Well, today I want to show you some right turns.

They are found in this section of Psalm 119, where we are studying.

It's verse 33 through verse 40.

Now, we've looked at the first three verses already, the prayer of the psalmist,

teach me, give me, make me.

Let me just simply point out that at the very beginning of this section,

it would seem that the emphasis

of the psalmist is on his desire to not only be right, but to finish right. Listen to verse 33,

teach me, O Lord, the way of thy statutes, and I shall keep it under the end. He said, I want to get on

the right way. I want to find the right way and get on it. And then I want to stay on the right way all the way to the finish line,

all the way until the end.

And that's an expression who use at other points in Psalm 119.

Well, I believe this section holds the keys to that desire.

Let's pick up, if we may, in Psalm 119, verse number 36,

incline my heart unto thy testimonies and not to covetousness.

Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity and quicken thou me in thy way.
