Today’s Reading 

Psalm 119:129-144

Reflect

In verse 134, the psalmist asks God to protect him from oppression. In this case, such oppression results from injustice borne out of failure to do God’s will. How can experiencing injustice firsthand or witnessing it in the world impact your faith?

Pray

Righteous God, I honestly want to know everything you teach. I trust in your goodness and mercy. Keep me close to you and don’t let me stumble, so I can obey your laws. Amen.
