Meditations From The Psalms, Part 19

"Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart standeth in awe of thy word. I hate and abhor lying: but thy law do I love." - Psalm 119:161, 163

As we read through Psalm 119, we find many statements about persecution, violent words, and being hurt by the wicked, all of which are followed up with positive words about God's holy law. This is where we go to get strength to face a world that will spar with us daily. Its philosophies, morals, and integrity are in direct opposition to God's Word. What have you found recently in the Scriptures that would encourage you in your walk? That's the way I see things.
