I am using the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.

Today, I am reading and commenting on Psalms 119.

In the Hebrew language this psalm is an acrostic where each letter of the Hebrew alphabet is used, in order, to start a stanza.  Which makes it very appropriate that the psalm is about the importance and value of following God’s instructions.  Following God’s commands will make us people of integrity and give us joy.  If we do not compromise with evil, God will teach us His decrees and guide our paths.  We should not let the scorn and ridicule of the wicked dissuade us from seeking to faithfully follow God’s instructions.  The wicked reject God’s wisdom and will seek to convince us to do likewise.  They will use persuasion, ridicule, and persecution to that end, do not let succeed.  Remember that God’s love is faithful and everlasting.
