METHODIST DAILY REFLECTION FOR 15TH SEPTEMBER 2026 - GOD'S WORD AND FAITH

METHODIST DAILY REFLECTION FOR TODAY TUESDAY, 15TH SEPTEMBER 2026 - GOD'S WORD AND FAITH

DATE: TUESDAY, 15TH SEPTEMBER 2026

THEME: GOD'S WORD AND FAITH

PASSAGE: PSALM 119:41-48

41 Let thy mercies come also unto me, O Lord, even thy salvation, according to thy word.

42 So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word.

43 And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments.

44 So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever.

45 And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts.

46 I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed.

47 And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved.

48 My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes.

MESSAGE:

Verse 41:48 is the sixth stanza of the 22 segments of Ps 119. Each stanza has eight two lines, each beginning with the same letter. This stanza is about salvation through the Word and the outward working of salvation.

Whenever and wherever we speak God's Word, we need not feel ashamed before anyone. Our love for His commandments should be so great that we receive them eagerly, delight in them openly and meditate on them constantly.

The Psalmist desires God's loving kindness, and salvation, which allow him to confidently respond to those who mock him. He trusts in God's promises and finds joy and happiness in obeying them. However, the Psalmist continues to ask the Lord to assist him to live a godly life.

The Psalmist had faith in God's Word and in many promises of Salvation it contains. 

He made some vows to obey God's law forever, to walk at liberty "for I seek Thy precepts"; to speak of God's testimonies before Kings and to meditate on God's statutes.

Keeping God's laws, precepts and judgments frees one from the bondage of sin and the devil, he says. Today, as you read the Word of God, also believe it. When you believe it, it will work for you. His Word is a lamp to your feet and a light unto your path (Ps. 119:105).

MEMORY VERSE:

"I will speak of Thy testimonies also before kings and will not be ashamed." Psalm 119:46
