Day 32 - psalm 119:137-144 - Tsadde

2/2/2020

February 2
(137) Righteous are You, O LORD, And upright are Your judgments. (138) Your testimonies, which You have commanded, Are righteous and very faithful. (139) My zeal has consumed me, Because my enemies have forgotten Your words. (140) Your word is very pure; Therefore Your servant loves it. (141) I am small and despised, Yet I do not forget Your precepts. (142) Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, And Your law is truth. (143) Trouble and anguish have overtaken me, Yet Your commandments are my delights. (144) The righteousness of Your testimonies is everlasting; Give me understanding, and I shall live.
Febrero 2 Salmo 119:137-144
“Justo eres tú, oh Jehová, Y rectos tus juicios. Tus testimonios, que has recomendado, Son rectos y muy fieles. Mi celo me ha consumido, Porque mis enemigos se olvidaron de tus palabras. Sumamente pura es tu palabra, Y la ama tu siervo. Pequeño soy yo, y desechado, Mas no me he olvidado de tus mandamientos. Tu justicia es justicia eterna, Y tu ley la verdad. Aflicción y angustia se han apoderado de mí, Mas tus mandamientos fueron mi delicia. Justicia eterna son tus testimonios; Dame entendimiento, y viviré”

The Hebrew letter for this section is TSADHE, is the word for righteousness, which is used 5 times in this passage to speak of the righteousness of God. God’s righteousness in always right, just, and faithful. We can always count upon Him to do the RIGHT thing!

The Hebrew letter TSADHE looks like a man kneeling with his hands raised to God. This humble posture before God is a sign of a righteous man. This letter also has a final version, when it is used at the end of a word. It still looks like a man with his arms raised to God, but he is now standing tall, signifying the rewards in heaven for righteousness.

The Hebrew word for RIGHTEOUSNESS is made up of three Hebrew letters:
• TSADHE – living according to God’s ways which are right
• DALET – being a witness at the door
• KOF – holy to the Lord
We are to live lives that are marked by RIGHT CONDUCT according to God’s Ways. This should lead us to being a WITNESS to everyone around us of God’s righteousness and faithfulness, and Jesus’ sacrifice for us. Then God sees us as HOLY to Him!

2 Corinthians 5:20-21 Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that WE MIGHT BECOME THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN HIM.

This section was all about God’s righteousness that we are to imitate. The last eight days have been under the heading of SURRENDERED HEART in our fast. Look how the Hebrew letters in this section beautifully point to this. When we truly understand the GIFT GOD HAS GIVEN US (NUN), and LEAN UPON HIM FOR SUPPORT (SAMECH), and SEE (AYIN) His truths for ourselves; then we must SPEAK (PEH) to others about Him, and walk in His RIGHTEOOUS Ways (TSADHE) – that is a SURRENDERED HEART!
