Psalm 119 --

The Book of Psalms is such a marvelous Book!  I believe that somewhere in this wonderful book of song and praise, we can find encouragement, guidance, instruction --- whatever we may need for a particular situation or trial we are facing at any given time in our lives.

To me, the 119th Psalm is a very special Psalm that is filled with wonderful promises, commands, and challenges.  Let us take a few minutes today to look at verses 41-48.  In these eight short verses, we are told to trust, hope, keep, seek, speak, delight, and meditate.

"I TRUST in Thy Word."
"I have HOPE in Thy judgments."
"So shall I KEEP Thy law continually for ever and ever."
"I will walk at liberty: for I SEEK Thy precepts."
"I will SPEAK of Thy testimonies."
"I will DELIGHT myself in Thy commandments which I have loved."
"I will MEDITATE in Thy statutes."

As individuals, we don't all share the same interests---we don't all enjoy the same foods---we have different tastes in clothing, decorating, etc., but I'm glad that we all can (and should) delight in God's Wonderful Word!!
     "Let me more of their beauty see -- Wonderful Words of Life!"
