Psalm 119:25-32

The Psalmist continues to pray for the LORD to work and provide in and through His word. He prays for at least three things:

1. He prays for life (v25)

2. He prays that the LORD would teach him (v26)

3. He prays the LORD would give him strength (v28)

These three request are dependent upon God's word. It is from God's Word that we gain life. His Word preserves us and sustains us even when we feel alone and abandoned. It is through God's Word that we gain understanding and gain knowledge; it is our teacher through the working of the Holy Spirit. Lastly, the Word gives us strength. This strength is not ours but His. Ephesians 3:14-19, Paul prays for the Ephesian believers that God would "grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being" and that they would "have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge the you my be filled with all the fullness of God."

All knowledge or understanding or wisdom or learning, as it relates to the Word of God, has come from God and his word. I believe the repetitiveness of the Psalmist is a benefit for us. It is there to aid us to continually think of these things and to see the many benefits of God's Word.
