Two Major Blessings for the Undefiled – Psalm 119:1

There are two major and wonderful blessings in the first verse of Psalm 119.  

Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord. Psalm 119:1

1. I’m undefiled. Are you?

Are you pure, holy, without blemish, spotless, and so on?  You can be.  We are all born sinners, corrupt, going away from God, but God so loved us that He gave His Son to save us from our wretched sinful self. Praise God! If you are a wretched sinner who has been saved by grace, then you are undefiled.  You are justified in the sight of God through the blood of Jesus Christ. You are forever forgiven!

I know Jesus – He is The Way. 

What a blessing to Know the way to heaven!

2. I walk with God and He with me. 

I can walk with God every single moment of every single day.  To think that the all powerful, almighty God knows me and wants to walk with me is mind boggling.   As I walk with Him, I learn more about Him and desire to keep His commandments (the law).  I desire a life of holiness.  No, I am no saved by the deeds of the law – no man is, but now that I am saved by God grace alone, I have a desire to learn and obey the Truths of His Word.

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

God calls me blessed when I’m undefiled and walking in His Ways.  Are you blessed?  The Savior will lead you in His way all the way to glory! 

All the way my Savior leads me,
What have I to ask beside?
Can I doubt His tender mercy,
Who through life has been my Guide?
Heav’nly peace, divinest comfort,
Here by faith in Him to dwell!
For I know, whate’er befall me,
Jesus doeth all things well;
For I know, whate’er befall me,
Jesus doeth all things well.

All the way my Savior leads me,
Cheers each winding path I tread,
Gives me grace for every trial,
Feeds me with the living Bread.
Though my weary steps may falter
And my soul athirst may be,
Gushing from the Rock before me,
Lo! A spring of joy I see;
Gushing from the Rock before me,
Lo! A spring of joy I see.

All the way my Savior leads me,
Oh, the fullness of His love!
Perfect rest to me is promised
In my Father’s house above.
When my spirit, clothed immortal,
Wings its flight to realms of day
This my song through endless ages:
Jesus led me all the way;
This my song through endless ages:
Jesus led me all the way.
-Fanny Crosby 1875
