Psalm 119:49-56

Psalm 119:49-56, ESV
Zayin 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 take comfort, O LORD. Hot indignation seizes me because of the wicked, who forsake your law.

Your statutes have been my songs in the house of my sojourning. I remember your name in the night, O LORD, and keep your law. This blessing has fallen to me, that I have kept your precepts.

Psalm 119:49-56, JN paraphrase
Your Word, Oh, LORD is my hope; I can depend upon it because it springs from Your promise. The insolent deride, but Your rules have withstood the test of time, but the derision of the wicked has been proven false and failing when measured by the same test.

Oh, LORD, the joy of awakening during the night and realizing that the Word of the LORD, God, the Almighty has carried me through another day of laboring in Your vineyard.

Recommended Reading

Man – The Dwelling Place of God, by A. W. Tozer. From the preface: “The chapters in this book deal with many of the aspects of one subject: the relationship of God and man. They are above all practical and all who read them will profit.” Each chapter is short and easily adapted to a daily devotional. Try it! I find it fits well into my end of day devotionals. I read Chapter 8 “True Religion is not feeling but willing.” earlier this evening. Three terse pages, approximately 1/3 highlighted.
