Psalm 119: 49-56

Zayin

49 Remember your word to your servant,
for you have given me hope.

50 My comfort in my suffering is this:
Your promise preserves my life.

51 The arrogant mock me without restraint,
but I do not turn from your law.

52 I remember your ancient laws, O LORD,
and I find comfort in them.

53 Indignation grips me because of the wicked,
who have forsaken your law.

54 Your decrees are the theme of my song
wherever I lodge.

55 In the night I remember your name, O LORD,
and I will keep your law.

56 This has been my practice:
I obey your precepts.

There are times when His Word is the ONLY thing that keeps me going. It is the only thing that gets me out of bed some mornings. It is the only thing that keeps me sane when dealing with those mean people who suck and it is the only thing that speaks to me when the world is silent or yelling lies. Sometimes it is the only thing I have, He is the only one I have when I feels like everyone else has left me. And yet, His word sustains and is enough, more than enough. I think there is nothing more beautiful than a tear stained Bible.
