Christ Jesus is the root of all things. He is the truth, the way, the life. He is the lamb, the door, the light and the hope! He is the teacher, the fulfiller of all things and the great creator. Christ is our all in all! I have organized the Hebrew alphabet letters from Psalms 119 in order corresponding with each stanza of 8 verses. I hope that your heart delights in Christ as he is the word and bread of life. We always seek him for instruction, revelation, decrees, commands, promises, encouragement and judgment. It is the truth and truth sets us free.

Psalm Of The Word Of The Lord
The 119th Psalm is one that symbolizes the 22 Hebrew Alphabet. Each letter is separated into stanza's of eight verses. It is the longest chapter in the book of psalms holding a total of 176 verses in this one chapter. So the first letter of the Hebrew Alphabet is "Aleph" and is symbolized from Verse 1-8. The second letter is "Beth" and is verses 9-16. So as your reading each set of 8 verses that belong to the Hebrew letter, your digesting a greater message in the word that is connected to that letter. We can gain a wealth of wisdom when we can close in on each stanza and also verse by verse to see the message that the Lord is sharing with you. When we back up and take in the chapter we have an overview of the great blessing that come when you meditate in the word and write it on the table your heart. Psalms 119 contains 21 character traits of blessed believers, 15 things the Lord has done for us, 30 vows, 30 reasons for vows, 69 requests to the Lord, 18 secrets to victory in the Lord, a 59 fold testimony of the great acts of the Lord, 62 facts of the word and the attributes of its righteousness, 22 reasons the Lord is happy, and 198 times in Psalms 119 it references the word. That is 198 times that the one who penned this psalms points to the root of all truth and love, the word of the Lord! I will be sharing the full chapter of Psalms 119 below.
Part 1 Of Psalms 119Verses 1-88
Before each section is the letter of the Hebrew alphabet ,the name of the letter will be the heading of that section. Also you will find the 8 verses that go along with that alphabet letter. In the red is an ongoing message throughout the whole chapter corresponding with each letter. You can read that sentence and be enlightened with another layer of wisdom and clarity. In the gold will be the meaning and symbol of the letter in relation to ancient Hebrew. It will certainly bring greater knowledge and understand to this great chapter which in a whole is symbolic Christ the word. Christ was Hebrew, the bible was written by Hebrews and our roots for Christianity are Hebrew roots. I encourage you all to embark on a journey to great discovery of the treasures found in the word. Lets share in this front row seat to the divinely inspired and directed word of our creator in this chapter. What a wonderfully marvelous provider he is and how thankful I am to be able to continue growing and learning in the word. In the blue lettering you will find notes that I have added to this study. But I do urge to to pray , seek clarity and perspective from the Holy Spirit of truth. That is our greatest source of being in unity and harmony of the word.
