If we are going to have a living faith, then we need to consume the living Word. We don’t live by bread alone but on every word of God. What I want to do is identify 10 themes under the first three letters (24 verses). Most of them come in the first 16 verses. We will use the remaining verses in Psalm 119 to support these themes.
Psalm 139 is richly theological dealing with God’s omniscience, omnipresence, and omnipotence; but it is also wonderfully personal, because it speaks of these divine attributes in ways that impact how we live and how we live before the living God. Psalm 139 is about the tension we have in living our life before the Lord.

At times it may seem like walking with God isn’t worth much. Psalm 73 deals with this. The writer struggles with the wicked prospering while the righteous seem to suffer.He is tempted to leave God & His ways. No doubt we have faced similar temptations or frustrations and we ask ourselves is this worth it? We need to look to God’s Word in Psalm 73 because it will bring us thru despair to hope.
The ideas of God as creator, and God’s compassion for the poor appear in Psalm 146. The Psalmist points us to nature of the LORD in this psalm. It is so relevant because our view of God determines everything. When we have a high view (or biblical view) of God, we will praise him continually, trust him supremely, and imitate him faithfully.
