Hidden In My Heart

Years ago, when I first started in the ministry, I was admonished not to teach through Psalms 119. The reason, I think was with good intent. I was going to start a brand-new church and the pastor who encouraged me not to teach this wanted me to teach through Acts - it's an exciting book about church planting. I just want to tell you that there may not be any more important portion of the Bible than Psalms 119. It sits right in the center of your Bible. It's the largest chapter in the Bible by far. Almost twice as long as the next longest.One hundred seventy six versesDivided into twenty two stanzasEach stanza is eight verses longEach verse of the stanza begins with the corresponding letter to the Hebrew AlphabetEvery verses except one has a reference to the Word of God Be sure to write the author and give him your thoughts.
