I hate and abhor lying: but thy law do I love. Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous judgments. Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.
– Psalms 119:163-165
Love for God’s Word brings joy and steady peace. These verses contrast a hatred for falsehood with a deep delight in God’s law. The psalmist values God’s statutes more than wealth and finds great peace in living by them. That peace isn’t the absence of trouble but a steady center that keeps us from stumbling when life shakes us. Practically, this means choosing truth over shortcuts, treasuring Scripture more than temporary gain, and letting God’s commands shape our daily decisions so we stand firm in trials.
Dear Blessed Lord Jesus, help me to hate what is false and to love Your Word. Fill me with joy in Your statutes and teach me to treasure them above earthly gain. Grant me the great peace You promise so I will not be shaken and give me strength to live faithfully today. Love You, thank You, Praise You and give You all the honor and glory in Your Mighty Precious Name Lord Jesus Amen.
