The Qoph section of Scripture (Psalm 119:145-152) contains the record of the psalmist's calls to God. He calls and cries for God's salvation and protection. He rises early and delays sleep so that he can read and meditate upon the words of God so that he will find hope and direction. He knows that his cries will be heard, and his pleas answered.

How is he so sure?

We find the answer to that question in the closing words of the passage.
Psalm 119:152 (NIV)
Long ago I learned from your statutes that you established them to last forever.
The psalmist knew that he was not wasting his breath because long ago he learned about God.

What did he learn about God?

We discover some of the knowledge about God he gained as we read through the entirety of Psalm 119. Here are some examples . . .
  • Verse 57
     You are my portion, LORD; I have promised to obey your words.

  • Verse 64    
     The earth is filled with your love, LORD; teach me your decrees.

  • Verse 68    
     You are good, and what you do is good; teach me your decrees.

  • Verse 73    
     Your hands made me and formed me; give me understanding to learn your commands.

  • Verse 75    
     I know, LORD, that your laws are righteous, and that in faithfulness you have afflicted me.

  • Verse 89    
     Your word, LORD, is eternal; it stands firm in the heavens.

  • Verse 114    
     You are my refuge and my shield; I have put my hope in your word.

  • Verse 129    
     Your statutes are wonderful; therefore I obey them.

  • Verse 137    
     You are righteous, LORD, and your laws are right.

When you learn about God and allow that knowledge to guide your thoughts, comfort your heart, and guide your steps, you will grow in faith, strength, and trust. You will believe that God hears your calls and listens to your cries.

Keep learning about and from God.

Live in light of what you learn.
