"Your rules give me pleasure," Psalm 119:24.
O God, you do good to us and that lets us live! To be alive gives us opportunity to obey you. You open our eyes to see the wonders of your teachings. We know we're foreigners on this earth, and that's why we need your commands. We want to study your laws so that we're not scolded for lack of knowing things. We don't want at all to be like people who ignore your directives. That's just spiraling into the abyss. But even when people make fun of us for obeying your rules, we'll still ponder your word. Your demands give us good direction. Excellent instruction. Most excellent counsel.
As we meet with a brother or sister today, we point each other to God's Word for secure guidance through this foreign land. And, together, we praise our God, wise counselor for strangers.
