"I have done what is just and right; do not leave me to my oppressors."
This new section of Psalm 119 can be read much more like the psalmist crying out to God. I imagine a person yelling, "I have done everything I could and everything that you wanted me to do!!!! Why are bad things still happening to me!!!???? Why am I not being rewarded for my faithfulness!!!"
That's the bargain we make with God, right? We say, "I'll be good. I'll do everything right!" But all too often what we want and what God sees that we need are two different things. We want life, security, and happiness for our lives. Yet, we need someone who will always be there with us throughout all the tough times in our life. We need the constant love and forgiveness that God brings to us.
