Meditations From The Psalms, Part 13

“Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way.” - Psalm 119:128
The psalmist says he hates every false way. This is quite a statement in that it suggests he knows what every false way is. To know the false way means we must know the true way. For there can be no false without true, nor can there be bitter without sweet, or soft without hard. Standards invite contrast. God’s Word is the ultimate standard by which everything else is to be measured. To know His Word is to know the right way. When a society disregards the ways of God, then evil ways enter in. There are five steps in which this takes place. An evil is introduced to society and is first met with resistance, then is tolerated, then accepted, then embraced, and then promoted. Ever hear of gay marriage? That's the way I see things.
