Meditate on and memorize verse 165.

Those who love Your law have great peace

and nothing causes them to stumble.

I (Marsha) must confess that the writing of the Psalm 119 devotionals has been very convicting for me, for I thought I loved God’s Word so much, yet how much do I actually love it?  Psalm 119 made me really think about what I love to meditate on throughout the day.  Is it something somebody said or how I feel I have been treated unfairly, or is it the next Bible verse I am memorizing?  And, my wait times throughout the day—do I pull out my phone to see the latest on the weather, news, email, or social media, or do I open my Bible application and start memorizing the next verse?  I truly want my actions with God’s Word to line up with what I say about God’s Word, so I can know His unspeakable peace, and absolutely nothing will cause me to stumble because my feet are literally planted in His Word.

What about you?  Let God’s Word examine your life, then pray God’s Word from Psalm 119:161-168 as His faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, please do not allow princes to persecute _______ and

me without cause, but even if they do, let our heart stand in

awe of Your Words.  Let us rejoice at Your Word as one who finds

 great spoil.  Let us hate and despise falsehood but love Your law. 

Help us praise You seven times a day because of Your righteous

 ordinances.  Those who love Your law have great peace and

nothing causes them to stumble.  May we be those people, LORD! 

We hope for Your salvation, O LORD, and do Your commandments. 

May our souls keep Your testimonies and love them exceedingly. 

Let us keep Your precepts and Your testimonies, for

 all our ways are before You.

In Your name, Jesus~”
