Seeking Divine Guidance and Strength: A Father’s Day Reflection on Psalm 119:17-24 As we gather this Father’s Day, considering our "Summer in the Psalms" series, we find ourselves reflecting on the rich tapestry of wisdom in Psalm 119:17-24. This passage offers us profound insight into seeking God’s guidance and strength. Imagine Psalm 119 as a roadmap, guiding us to a place where the heart aligns with divine instruction, much like a child looking up to a father for guidance. It's a fitting backdrop as we celebrate fathers today. Let us dive into these verses with open hearts. Point 1: Ask God for Help (Psalm 119:17-18) "Deal bountifully with your servant, that I may live and keep your word. Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law." Sub-point 1: God as Our Provider Verse 17 begins with a request to God: "Deal bountifully with your servant." This is a cry for help—an acknowledgment that all we have and need is rooted in God's gracious provision. As fathers and as children of God, we recognize our dependence. It's like a craftsman asking for the right tools; without them, his work cannot be fruitful. Fathers, remember that ultimate provision and help come from God. Sub-point 2: Illumination from God Verse 18’s plea, "Open my eyes," signifies our need for spiritual sight. In our roles as fathers, leaders, or guides, we must continually seek God’s wisdom. It’s as if walking into a darkened room, feeling our way along with hands before our eyes, we long for the light to understand our path. Practical Application: Each day, begin with a prayer seeking God’s provision and sight. Involve the family in this habit, showing them dependence on God’s wisdom is generational. Point 2: Ask God for Power (Psalm 119:19-20) "I am a sojourner on the earth; hide not your commandments from me! My soul is consumed with longing for your rules at all times." Sub-point 1: Earthly Transience and Heavenly Power Acknowledging our status as "sojourners" calls us to focus not on earthly power but on divine strength. Think of a tent versus a brick house; one is temporary, serving us only through God’s strength, like our time on earth compared to eternity. Sub-point 2: Consuming Passion for God’s Commands This passage describes a longing as consuming—like a parched throat thirsting for water. Fathers, cultivate such a longing in your households; instill a desire for God’s word stronger than any earthly passion. Practical Application: Model a lifestyle that prioritizes spiritual discipline. Lead times of study and reflection with your family, showing a genuine longing for God's power and guidance. Point 3: Ask God for Persistence in Opposition (Psalm 119:21-24) "You rebuke the insolent, accursed ones, who wander from your commandments. Take away from me scorn and contempt, for I have kept your testimonies. Even though princes sit plotting against me, your servant will meditate on your statutes. Your testimonies are my delight; they are my counselors." Sub-point 1: Trusting God Against Opposition Facing opposition is inevitable; it’s like a great oak facing storm winds, standing firm because it is deeply rooted. Fathers, your role includes standing against opposition to the truth with courage that only God provides. Sub-point 2: Joy in God’s Testimonies as Guidance The Psalmist finds delight and counsel in God’s word despite adversity, making it a sustaining joy like a balm to alleviate pain. Encourage your family to see God’s word as a reliable counselor amid life's trials. Practical Application: Create an environment where challenges are met with scripture-backed resoluteness. Share stories of historical or biblical figures who triumphed through steadfast faith. Conclusion and Christ Connection As we move towards communion, remember Christ’s promise in Matthew 7:7-11. Just as a loving father gives good gifts to his children, God desires to supply us with help, power, and persistence through Christ. In something as simple as asking, He provides abundantly. To those here who do not know Christ, I urge you to ask for the gift of salvation He freely gives. Open your heart to the Lord who offers help, power, and eternal perseverance. For believers, let this be a reminder that fatherhood, in all its forms, mirrors God's love. Seek His presence in all aspects of life, and let your home be a place where reliance on divine guidance shapes every action. As we partake in communion, may our hearts reflect gratitude for the gifts afforded by our loving Father.…
