I Am Your Servant

 Psalm 119

124 Deal with your servant according to your steadfast love,
    and teach me your statutes.
125 I am your servant; give me understanding,
    that I may know your testimonies!

135 Make your face shine upon your servant,

    and teach me your statutes.

136 My eyes shed streams of tears,

    because people do not keep your law.

139 My zeal consumes me,

    because my foes forget your words.

140 Your promise is well tried,

    and your servant loves it.  

As we make our way further into the psalmist' love for God's Word, we find one of the most basic attitudes necessary is that we are God's servants. A true servant wants to please his/her master in every way, so he or she seeks out the Master's will.  In doing so, once again, the servant realizes the love of the Master, Who truly does seek the good of all His servants.  Another theme seen here is that a zeal for God's Word leads to an amazement that others do not share the same perspective of the Master, His will, and His Word. A true servant wants others to understand God's Word too.
