“Remember your word to your servant; you have given me hope through it. This is my comfort in my affliction: Your promise has given me life. The arrogant constantly ridicule me, but I do not turn away from your instruction. Lord, I remember your judgments from long ago and find comfort. Fury seizes me because of the wicked who reject your instruction. Your statutes are the theme of my song during my earthly life. Lord, I remember your name in the night, and I obey your instruction. This is my practice: I obey your precepts.”
Psalms 119:49-56 CSB
The author talks about remembering Gods name in the night…it stands out to me that Gods name really is His reputation (who He is, what He stands for, and His character). Then in reference to the night, he is likely referring to emotional darkness, discouragement, depression or teals…where there seems to be nothing but bad news. I can relate to this!
Some days when I feel discouraged about disappointment in life, I just remember who God is and what He has done in the past. It is a great encouragement because so many times He has done the very thing that seemed impossible, that transformed a tragedy into a blessing! That gives me hope that One day He will do that again!
