As we draw near to the end of Psalm 119, the Psalmist makes it clear that the point of this prayer is a matter of life and death. A dozen times in Psalm 119 the Psalmist says "give me life." Four of those times are in today's two stanzas: verses 149, 154, 156, and 159. God created Adam after his image and breathed the breath of life into him. But in his rebellion Adam forfeited life. And ever since the sin of Adam and Eve death has haunted all of humanity. Death stalks you, too. It lurks around every corner, waiting to ensnare you. Your time here is limited. Your time is running out. Will you spend it seeking after vain and empty pleasures? Or will you spend it seeking after the One who has conquered death and gives life to those who seek him?!
