“Lord, your word is forever; it is firmly fixed in heaven. Your faithfulness is for all generations; you established the earth, and it stands firm. Your judgments stand firm today, for all things are your servants. If your instruction had not been my delight, I would have died in my affliction. I will never forget your precepts, for you have given me life through them. I am yours; save me, for I have studied your precepts. The wicked hope to destroy me, but I contemplate your decrees. I have seen a limit to all perfection, but your command is without limit.”
Psalms 119:89-96 CSB
“I will never forget your precepts, for you have given me life through them.“ I used to feel like following Gods rules were keeping me from enjoying some parts of life, so many restrictions. But, as I know Christ more, I see that EVERY one of His “restrictions” is protecting me from pain and suffering…following them actually brings great joy and peace. I wish I could convey this in a convincing way to the next generation so that they could avoid some of the heartache and be spared from the bleak discouragement.
God, You know what is best for me and what is best for them, I pray that You would help them learn in the least painful way!
