January 15
(61) The cords of the wicked have bound me, But I have not forgotten Your law. (62) At midnight I will rise to give thanks to You, Because of Your righteous judgments. (63) I am a companion of all who fear You, And of those who keep Your precepts. (64) The earth, O LORD, is full of Your mercy; Teach me Your statutes.
Enero 15 Salmo 119:61-64
“Compañías de impíos me han rodeado, Mas no me he olvidado de tu ley. A medianoche me levanto para alabarte Por tus justos juicios. Compañero soy yo de todos los que te temen Y guardan tus mandamientos. De tu misericordia, oh Jehová, está llena la tierra; Enséñame tus estatutos”

Today’s verses start with a great warning, “The cords of the wicked have bound me.” The Hebrew word for CORDS is the same word for PORTION we saw yesterday. When we associate with the wicked (those who do not live their lives according to God’s ways) a PORTION of their wickedness is shared and given to us- it rubs off on us. This binds us, restrains us, and hinders us from devotion to God. But if we REMEMBER God’s laws and righteousness judgments, and if we worship Him in the midst of the darkness (midnight) groping at us, we will be able to flee from it. But we need to be around others (companions) who REVERE God and keep (guard) His precepts! We need to ask God to TEACH us His statutes. The word used for TEACH here means “to teach with a GOAD”. A GOAD s a pointed instrument used to urge a beast (OX) to move faster, much like spurs in the side of a horse. God’s statutes are a goad, to urge us to go forward into the LIGHT of God and not the darkness. He wants us to have abundant LIFE!

Are we still bound by the pull of wickedness?
Are we still associating with those who urge us to do deeds of wickedness?
Or is that wickedness inside of us, urging us to partake?
We need to ask the Holy Spirit, “What is still binding us to wickedness?’ Remember wickedness is walking in our ways and not God’s ways!
Whatever wickedness is inside of us has bound us, and hinders us from truly being with God!
