Psalm 119

I was just poking around this morning just looking and I read Psalm 119. Wow, that Psalm is pretty heavy!!

Be good to your servant,

that I may live and obey your word.

Open my eyes to see

the wonderful truths in your instructions.

I am only a foreigner in the land.

Don’t hide your commands from me!

I am always overwhelmed

with a desire for your regulations.

You rebuke the arrogant;

those who wander from your commands are cursed.

Don’t let them scorn and insult me,

for I have obeyed your laws.

Even princes sit and speak against me,

but I will meditate on your decrees.

Your laws please me;

they give me wise advice.

Psalm 119:17-24 (NLT).

Maybe when you read that you get something different. But me, I just keep hearing "I don't know what to do! So, I'm going to just keep standing still, standing firm and standing on your commands because at this point...that's all I've got!" I find myself here many, many times. Sometimes I think I find myself in these predicaments because that is just the way the world is and then there are times I bring them on myself. I stumble and fall and get all confused. I want to make people happy, I want to do the right thing, I want to be liked and I want to be honest. Sometimes all those just don't go well together. But, anyway, today, I found a little peace in some uncertainty...your laws please me; they give me wise advice!
