Text for the Day -- Psalm 119:65-72
----------
You have dealt well with your servant,
O LORD, according to your word.
Teach me good judgement and knowledge,
for I believe in your commandments.
Before I was humbled I went astray,
but now I keep your word.
You are good and do good;
teach me your statutes.
The arrogant smear me with lies,
but with my whole heart I keep your precepts.
Their hearts are fat and gross,
but I delight in your law.
It is good for me that I was humbled,
so that I might learn your statutes.
The law of your mouth is better to me
than thousands of gold and silver pieces.
Devotional
----------
The journey through life with God will not always be easy. There will
be challenges of many kinds - ridicule, suffering, and temptations to
abandon faithfulness. The psalmist gives thanks to God for keeping
him on track and he encourages awareness and prayer in seeking God's
wisdom and strength.
Prayer
-----------
May I hear your call to faithfulness when difficulties emerge, O
Lord. Amen
