Does the thought of immersing yourself in God’s word fill you with anticipation, or with unease?

Strong one day, stumbling the next. Cowering under the guilt and shame of your past. Suspecting that you don’t love God and his word as you should. If any of this describes you, there’s a song for that: a 22-stanza psalm right in the middle of the Bible. Authored by King David, whose epic personal failures only highlight the extravagant hope he found in God’s word, Psalm 119 is more powerful today than when it was written, because in it, the Living Word, Jesus Christ, shines through clearly.

How can God’s word give you hope when you know you aren’t living up to its standards? Joseph Davis — founding pastor of GraceLife Church in Sarasota, Florida, and author of The Grace Life: What Philippians Teaches Us About Loving One Another Relentlessly — has been where you are. Drawing from his own in-depth study of this psalm more than two decades ago, as well as numerous journal entries and personal stories, Pastor Davis shares the redeeming work Psalm 119 did in his own life and the incredible change it can make in yours.

As you delve deep into this poetic masterpiece to understand its historical context and theological significance, you will discover:

• How the Bible contains every answer you need to navigate life’s issues and struggles
• The comfort, hope, and lasting peace found in the powerful promises of Scripture
• That loving and obeying God’s Word is not achieved by human effort but divine power
• Secrets for the sometimes-daunting spiritual disciplines of prayer and meditation
• How a psalm that extols the law reveals the beauty of grace and dependence on God

At the end of each chapter, questions and a suggested action step will help you personalize these truths and develop practical application for your own life.

Are you ready to listen to God and learn from him? Are you ready to see lasting change and lifelong consistency in your Christian walk?
