Enraptured
Today we continued our series through Psalms 119. This morning we covered the Hebrew letters Ayin, Pey, and Tsad / Tsade. Each of these letters symbolize respectively: Eye, Mouth, and lying on the side. The meanings are found in studying the Ancient sometimes called Proto or Paleo Hebrew. A website that lists the meanings is: http://www.ancient-hebrew.org/4_alphabet_01.html
• Ayin - God watches all that is thought, done or happens in our life. He is all seeing (v. 121-128).
• Pey - We hungrily open our mouth to receive His word (v. 129-136). 
• Tsad / Tsade – We lay helplessly as an infant awaiting the help that only God can give through His Word Jesus (v. 137-144).
We have had such a wonderful time of discovery during this series. It is truly incredible how the symbolic meanings of the Hebrew letter hold the key to the application of each section of Psalms 119. I can’t remember when a study has been so rapturing. The more I meditate upon it the more excited I become. This is maximized by the fact that the Word became flesh and dwelt among us and now He lives in the lives of those who believe.
Tonight we practiced for our Christmas program and instead of having our usual English service we had a Q&A session. We had some interesting questions and then we went to Ephesians 5 and covered family structure and responsibilities. Our new believers love this very practical teaching.
