Meditations From The Psalms, Part 20

"Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them." - Psalm 119:165

We are a people who are too easily offended. We stumble at the slightest hurtful statement. We fall apart when someone forgets to honor us, or remember us on a special day. We believe we have the right to be praised and exalted. These, of course, are natural fallen tendencies that every sinful heart is prone to accept as normal behavior. However, when the law of God reigns supreme, the petty issues of life fade into oblivion. So who has hurt you lately? How are you responding? That's the way I see things.
