This blessing has fallen to me, that I have kept your precepts. What a wonderful thought, to realize that obedience is the ultimate blessing. To know that as I obey, an upwelling of gratitude, all the blessings of the Kingdom inure to me. It is upon me to seek that…
Your statutes have been my songs in the house of my sojourning. Your word is music to my lips and balm to my soul. Peace lies in the constant meditation of Your Law. I remember your name in the night, O LORD, and keep your law. Is this the purpose…
Hot indignation seizes me because of the wicked, who forsake your law. How can individuals who claim to be believers in You, flaunt Your Law, deliberately and knowingly disobey You? Is it because they really do not believe that You gave all for them, that redemption comes only through the…
When I think of your rules from of old, I take comfort, O LORD. From everlasting to everlasting. Your Rule is Truth. Your Rule is constant and wavers not. I know that Your Rule is the same yesterday, today and forever. It is comfort. I know that I can turn…
The insolent utterly deride me, but I do not turn away from your law. It is amazing how those who refuse Your offer of grace and mercy laugh at me for admitting my weakness and need for Your love; how they ridicule me for relying on Your Word for guidance…
Remember your word to your servant, in which you have made me hope. Lord, my plea is that those promises in which I have placed all my hopes and that form the basis for my life, are indeed from You and by You. I have no other ground upon which…
Remember your word to your servant, in which you have made me hope. This is my comfort in my affliction, that your promise gives me life. The insolent utterly deride me, but I do not turn away from your law. When I think of your rules from of old, I…
I will lift up my hands toward your commandments, which I love, and I will meditate on your statutes. Isn't it amazing, that while I was a slave to sin, I despised those holy commandments but now as one who has been transformed by faith, I find myself consumed with…
I will also speak of your testimonies before kings and shall not be put to shame, for I find my delight in your commandments, which I love. "For I delight in the law of God, in my inner being," Romans 7:22 Why did Paul and the Psalmist who wrote the…
I will keep your law continually, forever and ever, and I shall walk in a wide place, for I have sought your precepts. The relationship between the Law of God and my walk as a disciple of Jesus Christ. When the Law is my docent to life, that life is…
And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth, for my hope is in your rules. The Word of Truth, that precious word that reveals reality, that displays both good and evil in pure detail. My prayer is that all words coming from my mouth will be…
Let your steadfast love come to me, O LORD, your salvation according to your promise; then shall I have an answer for him who taunts me, for I trust in your word. The answer to all the world's taunts and challenges lies in the Word; my challenge is to trust…
Let your steadfast love come to me, O LORD, your salvation according to your promise; (42) then shall I have an answer for him who taunts me, for I trust in your word. (43) And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth, for my hope is…
Behold, I long for your precepts; in your righteousness give me life! It is through Your salvation, through Your gift of the Holy Spirit that I am able to live according to Your righteousness. How I long to enter more deeply into Your Kingdom, that place where Your precepts rule…
Turn away the reproach that I dread, for your rules are good. Lord, give me strength to stand against the culture as I suffer scorn and derision for Your name's sake. Give me strength to stand for Your Word even in the face of criticism of my obedience.
