Psalm 119:41-48
41 Let your steadfast love come to me, O Lord,
your salvation according to your promise.
42 Then I shall have an answer for those who taunt me,
for I trust in your word.
43 Do not take the word of truth utterly out of my mouth,
for my hope is in your ordinances.
44 I will keep your law continually,
forever and ever.
45 I shall walk at liberty,
for I have sought your precepts.
46 I will also speak of your decrees before kings,
and shall not be put to shame;
47 I find my delight in your commandments,
because I love them.
48 I revere your commandments, which I love,
and I will meditate on your statutes.
Reflect
Do you see in these verses how important, how valuable, God’s Word was to the writer of Psalm 119? He put his trust in God’s Word (119:42) and his hope was in God’s ordinances (119:43). He studied God’s precepts (119:45). He spoke of His testimonies and was not ashamed (119:46). He welcomed God’s commandments and delighted in them (119:47-48). He spent time meditating on His statutes (119:48). Remember that these terms the psalmist used — ordinances, law, precepts, testimonies, commandments, and statutes — are all different Hebrew words that refer to God’s Word. Every part of God’s Word was valuable to the psalmist because that is where he found his answers, his hope, his courage, and his delight.
Pray
Lord Almighty, thank you that our answers, hope, courage, and delight can be found all throughout your Word. I pray that we continue to see these joys unfold every time we read and pray. We love you and praise you. Amen.
Go with God!
