—Psalm 119:129-136
by: Angie Osborn.
David says, "Streams of tears flow from my eyes, for your law is not obeyed" (v. 136, NIV). What a moving confession. We can almost feel David's joy and longing shatter into tears. We can relate to David's cry. How saddening it is for those who walk with God to see the sin in the world. God's law is perfect and just. When people turn from him and make their own way, things fall to pieces. Only a turn back to God and obedience to him can change that destruction. We, like David, mourn the disobedience we see each day. Today, rejoice in God's law. Rejoice that he cares enough to teach us how to live. Rejoice in the gift of the Sabbath that he gave as a command and also as a blessing!
