Day 35 - Psalm 119:153-156 - Resh

2/5/2020

 
February 5     
(153)  Consider my affliction and deliver me, For I do not forget Your law.  (154)  Plead my cause and redeem me; Revive me according to Your word.  (155)  Salvation is far from the wicked, For they do not seek Your statutes.  (156)  Great are Your tender mercies, O LORD; Revive me according to Your judgments.  
Febrero 5     Salmo 119:153-156
“Mira mi aflicción, y líbrame, Porque de tu ley no me he olvidado. Defiende mi causa, y redímeme; Vivifícame con tu palabra. Lejos está de los impíos la salvación, Porque no buscan tus estatutos. Muchas son tus misericordias, oh Jehová; Vivifícame conforme a tus juicios.”

Interested to see what comes from Vikki post of this letter. In my research the only definition was The Ancient picture for this letter is , the head of a man. This letter has the meanings of "head" and "man" as well as "chief," "top," "beginning" and "first," each of which are the "head" of something.

The Modern Hebrew name for this letter is resh, a Hebrew word meaning "head." Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek agree that the sound for this letter is an "r."

The Hebrew letter used in this passage of Psalm 119 is the RESH. It resembles outline of a side profile of the back of a human head. The word RESH actually means HEAD. It represents HUMAN REASONING. Human reasoning is when we direct thoughts and reasons to make a decision, but too often they are OUR thoughts and OUR reasons and OUR emotions. Proverbs 3:5-6 tells to NOT LEAN ON OUR OWN UNDERSTANDING – our OWN REASONING! But we are to Trust in the Lord and acknowledge His ways, and He will direct our path. We all know this verse, but how often do we reason in our minds and not consult God and His ways?

The letter RESH has a prominent place in our verses today and tomorrow. We will look at 5 of them today in our four verses.

• Verse 153 - “CONSIDER my affliction and deliver me, for I do not forget Your law.” The word CONSIDER is RAAH. It is made of 3 Hebrew letters: a RESH (reason), an ALEPH (God’s character and ways), and a HEI (Holy Spirit). The writer is asking God to REASON according to HIS WAYS, and lead him by the HOLY SPIRIT to bring him deliverance.

• Verse 154 – “PLEAD MY CAUSE and redeem me; revive me according to Your WORD.” The word for PLEAD MY CAUSE is ROOB. It is made of two Hebrew letters: the RESH (reason) and the BEIT (God’s Word). Also look at the word for WORD, which is made of 4 Hebrew Words. It has an ALEPH (God’s character and ways), a MEM (wash with living water), a RESH (reasoning), and it ends with a HEI (Holy Spirit). The writer is asking for the goodness of God to wash over him with the reasoning of the Holy Spirit, then he will be revived.

• Verse 155 – “Salvation is far from the wicked, for they do NOT SEEK Your statutes.” The word for SEEK is DARASH. It is made up of three Hebrew letters: a DALET (door), a RESH (reasoning), and a SHIN (peace). The writer is saying that the door of the reasoning of the wicked will NOT lead to peace.

• Verse 156 – “Great are Your TENDER MERCIES, O Lord; revive me according to Your judgments.” The word for tender mercies is RACHAM, and it is made up of three Hebrew letters: the RESH (reasoning), the HEI (Holy Spirit), and the closed MEM (BREATHE LIFE). When we reason by the leading of the Holy Spirit, He will breathe life into us, and we will be revived!

Watchman Nee wrote: “The greatest hindrance to obeying God is our own human reasoning.”

Let us stop leaning on our own reasoning and lean upon God. That is where the good way is! Look up Jeremiah 6:16 and see where you are.
