I have mentioned several times in this blog that I spend a great deal of time in Psalm 119. It is my go to. I have been listening to it when I drive. As an application I have determined to spend a week on each octet for 22 weeks.
But there is a problem.
I have been a week on 1 – 8 and I feel like I have only scratched the surface. So… I am into the second week on this section. The more I look the more I see. Being familiar with the rest of the Psalm I am seeing threads starting in this section that I know will run through all 176 verses.
That is the beauty and depth of the gift we have been given in this book. We can read it quickly, in a few moments, and be incredibly sustained. However, if we linger long, we find that there is no discernible bottom to the depth and breadth of what we see there.
Amazing.

Our God is an Infinite Being. Should we be surprised that what He says, while simple and understandable for us to live our whole lives by, is also infinite?
