Introduction

Psalm 119:49–64: The psalmist expounds upon the comfort and safety that can be found in the law of the LORD. Obeying God’s teachings brings protection, wisdom, and happiness.

Today’s Key Verse: Psalm 119:57

You are all I want, O LORD; I promise to obey your laws.

Reflect

What brings the psalmist hope and comfort? How does the psalmist express devotion to the law of the LORD? In what ways do you demonstrate your devotion to God’s laws in times of suffering? In times of success?

Pray

Lord, the earth is full of your constant love, and I promise to obey your laws. Thank you for the ways in which you have blessed me. I trust in your promises, for you are my source of hope and comfort. Amen.
