The Deaf Devo from The Deaf Missions in Council Bluffs, Iowa, United States "Faith Journey (2)" Bible Reading: Psalm 119:137-144 for Thursday, 8 September 2016
Psalm 119:צ (Tzadeh)
137 You are righteous, Adonai;
and your rulings are upright.
138 You have commanded your instructions
in righteousness and great faithfulness.
139 My zeal is destroying me,
because my foes have forgotten your words.
140 Your word is refined to complete purity,
and your servant loves it.
141 I may be small and despised,
but I do not forget your precepts.
142 Your righteousness is eternal righteousness,
and your Torah is truth.
143 Trouble and distress have overtaken me,
but your mitzvot are my delight.
144 Your instruction is righteous forever;
give me understanding, and I will live.

When I was 14 years old, my grandma became ill. So I went to Illinois for the summer to help my grandma and grandpa. 
That was a wonderful summer! My grandparents taught me that the Bible is very important. My grandpa read to me every day from his old, worn Bible. Throughout that summer, my faith in God and His Word grew. 
I returned home to California and started going to Sunday School again. Because of what my grandparents had taught me, I realized that the church my parents attended did not follow the Bible. That church said the stories in the Bible were not about real people. Soon I started to drift away from God and the faith that had started growing in me. 
The Bible is God's Word, and it is true! I hope you believe that! And I hope that you agree with the writer of our Bible verses today. "I love your word. Time and again it has been proven true" (verse 140).[DF] 
"...I have not forgotten your instructions. Your goodness is forever, and your teachings can be trusted."[Psalm 119:141b-142]
PRAYER: Father, thank You for Your patience in teaching me about Your Word. In Jesus' name. Amen.
