Psalm 119:169 - Let my cry come near before You, O Lord; give me understanding according to Your word.

As one who seems to be in desperation of God's undivided attention on his behalf, we find David in this text crying out to the Lord His God in fervent prayer.

David's prayer of mercy to God is a personal cry (petition) for God to not only hear his prayer, but that God would give him understanding through discernment of His Word.

God's Word is the standard of our faith as Christians. We need His Word every minute and every hour of everyday because the days in which we now live are perilous and evil.

Give me You Lord for everything else can wait! Is this your cry unto the Lord your God on today?

The plea to God in this verse is, “SAVE ME (deliver me) ACCORDING to YOUR WORD.” Apart from your WORD, I am lost.

What is you plea to God on today? I can only hope and pray it is the same as David's prayer: "Save me according to Your Word"!

God bless.
