🎵 Music Break

“The More I See You” — written by Harry Warren (1945), sung by legends like Nat King Cole, Nancy Sinatra, Andy Williams, Bing Crosby, Ella Fitzgerald, and Michael Bublé.

“The more I see You, the more I want You…”

Just like our relationship with God — the more we read His Word, the more we know Him, love Him, and desire to walk with Him.

📖 Teaching Segment — Psalm 119:97 –104 (Mem)

“Oh, how I love Your law!”

A personal confession, a present-tense testimony.

Throughout each day, the psalmist intentionally applies God’s Word to his life.

Key truths from the passage:

• Wiser than your enemies (v.98)
  
  
  
  


• Wiser than your teachers (v.99)
  
  
  
  


• Wiser than your elders (v.100)
  
  
  
  

God’s Word keeps you:

• Off the wrong path (v.101)
  
  
  
  


• On the right path (v.102)
  
  
  
  


• Filled with joy and sweetness (v.103)
  
  
  
  

“How sweet are Your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!”

“Through Your precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way.” (v.104)
