A Light Unto My Path: An Exposition of Psalm 119

Part of the incomprehensible miracle of inspiration is that God used the personality, experiences, and even words of each Scripture writer so that the result was not only what the writer wanted to say but also exactly what God wanted to say. There is no better example of this than in the Psalms. We see the whole gamut of human experience-the positives and the negatives-but God is in it all and controlling it all. Sometimes we see a psalmist at the absolute lowest point of his life, and at other times at the highest, but God used it all to convey His truth with absolute precision. Psalm 119 is such a psalm. We see the writer lofty and low, diligent and discouraged, fearless and frightened, victorious and vanquished. The more we read, however, we discover his secret. While many Christians today are looking for the newest trend for their excitement, or seeking the answers to problems by reading the latest self-help book, the psalmist always went to the Word of God: only there did he find everything. This magnificent Psalm is devoted to praising the virtues, merits, and sufficiency of the Word of God and demonstrates the author's total commitment to it. The present, the, is a complete, verse-by-verse, usually word-by-word, exposition. Based on a series of messages preached on consecutive Lord's Day mornings from July 2007 through January 2008, it is rich in word studies, clearly outlined, and carefully applied. It is meant to be an encouragement, challenge, and source of growth to God's people.

About the Author
Dr. J. D. "Doc" Watson (ThD, DRE), an Indiana "Hoosier" by birth, entered the ministry in 1974, serving in several capacities, including 29 years in the pastorate, 27 of which at Grace Bible Church in Meeker, Colorado. He also speaks at Bible Conferences and other venues (contact information on order form inside book). In addition to his other published books, he continues to write and edit the monthly publication Truth on Tough Texts. His driving passion is the exposition of the Word of God as the sole and sufficient authority in all matters. This is demonstrated in no better way than in his 3-1/2 year (500,000 word) exposition of the Epistle to the Ephesians, which he hopes to publish in 2014. Dr. Watson also serves on the board of On Target Ministry (www.ontargetministry.org), which is committed to international educa-tion. He has had the opportunity to serve overseas in this capacity by teach-ing at the Haiti Bible Institute, which was founded by OTM in 2009. He likewise serves on the board of the Institute for Biblical Textual Studies, which is committed to defending the Traditional Text of the New Testament. Dr. Watson has also contributed articles to other publications, including a weekly column in his local newspaper based upon his pulpit ministry. He also maintains three blogs: § Expositing Ephesians: The Christian's Wealth and Walk (http: //expositingephesians.blogspot.com). § Tas Membranas (http: //tas-membranas.blogspot.com/), which is dedicated to book reviews. § John Calvin for Today, a devotional site based upon Calvin's expositions (http: //johncalvinfortoday.blogspot.com/)
