“Lord, you have treated your servant well, just as you promised. Teach me good judgment and discernment, for I rely on your commands. Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I keep your word. You are good, and you do what is good; teach me your statutes. The arrogant have smeared me with lies, but I obey your precepts with all my heart. Their hearts are hard and insensitive, but I delight in your instruction. It was good for me to be afflicted so that I could learn your statutes. Instruction from your lips is better for me than thousands of gold and silver pieces.”
Psalms 119:65-72 CSB
Lord, I feel like I could have written this section…I have experienced this so accurately.
Having a hard and insensitive heart, is so easy…it feels normal, and nothing seems like it is a big deal. This is an easy way to float through life…but it is not filled with your blessing. Blessing comes from knowing You and following Your commands!
