Psa 119:20 | MHM | STEP | Longing for God’s Judgments This section shows David’s deep passion for God’s word. He does not just want to know a little about God’s laws; he longs for them with his whole heart. This strong desire is not a passing feeling, but something he feels all the time. David believes that without God’s word, he would be lost and empty. Like food is necessary for the body, God’s word is necessary for the soul. v. 20 : David says, My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath unto thy judgments at all times . He means that his desire for God’s teachings is so strong that it feels like his heart is breaking. He cannot stop thinking about God’s word, and he needs it more than anything else. This longing is not just sometimes, but always. David’s example encourages us to have a constant and deep hunger for God’s truth every day.
