Psalm 119:24 - Wonderful law

Your statutes are my delight;

     they are my counselors.

This section of 119 praises the law. I have never really thought of a list of rules as something wonderful to long for, but the author of this Psalm did. As a Christian and follower of the teachings of Jesus, I am not as familiar with the Jewish Law as I could be. This passage makes me want to go back and study the law to unlock the wonderful things within the decrees.

Lord, thank you for your law. Please help us to read your law in an effort to learn more about you. Amen.

Psalm 68:19 - Ready to listen, anytime

Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior,
     who daily bears our burdens.

Who do you talk to when you need to vent and share your problems? Do you have a good friend or family member who listens to you? Do you go to a counselor or therapist to "unload" on a weekly basis? These are all good solutions, but friends and family members can get weary of hearing us complain and a counselor is only there to listen at certain times. The ultimate solution is God. We can go to God any time. He is always ready to listen. He will bear our burdens.

Lord, thank you for listening to us and bearing our burdens. Please help us to come to you when we need share our problems. Amen.
