Title: Resident Status (3)
Series: Summer of Psalms
Author: Jeff Ecklund
Text: Psalm 119
Have you ever been to a place where you don't fit, you know you don't belong or are just passing through?
Have you ever been to a country where the language is different, the customs are different? (Like visiting a traditional pub in England?)
It's interesting that upon entering a country you have to go through "customs"...
I've been to Africa a number of times and blown away by the beauty, captivated by things that are different...but I know I don't belong there.... So out of place so to speak
As a believer in Jesus, my resident status is now in his Kingdom and this message is how to hold that in tension as we walk this earth
Psalm 119:19 (NKJV)
19I am a stranger in the earth; Do not hide Your commandments from me.
As I continue with our Summer of Psalms series I'm going to unpack some things in Psalm 119:19

Psalm 119 is the longest chapter in the Bible
Psalm 118:8 is said to be the "center verse" of the Bible
Psalm 118:8 (ESV)
8It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man.
Some think that it is written by David, but most evidence points to Ezra the priest...
For you that always like the deep end of the pool, it is written as a poetic acrostic.
Twenty-two sections of eight verses and 176 two line verses..
Twenty-two stanzas, each starting with the twenty characters or letters in the Hebrew Alphabet
It was a way to meditate on the law of God, but also to teach the Hebrew alphabet.
Nearly every verse contains a mention of God's Word and teaches us: The Word of God will lead you to joy
The Word of God will keep you from sinning!
"How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to your word. With my whole heart I seek you; let me not wander from your commandments! I have stored up your word in my h ...
