Psalm 119:1-16

The intent of God's word is to introduce us to the delight that God had intended for Eden. That delightfully abundant existence does not have to wait for eternity; by grace it can begin now. There is a "process" proposed in verses 11-15 that brings us to the delight mentioned in verse 16. It begins with taking in the word of God and securing it in our inner being(vs 11). Once there God begins the process of teaching how to apply those truthes (vs 12). Then we need to share what we've learned with others (vs 13). In speaking them we will see the blessings of a godly life (vs 14). Finally we spend time meditating on the words, the truthes fully taught, and the truthes spoken (vs 15). This will open out eyes to God's truthes and allow the joy to flow into us (vs 16).  At least that flow makes sense to me.
It took just over 1 minute to read this portion of psalm 119.
