There are two verses that are really sticking out for me in my psalm for today.
"I hate the double minded, but I love your law."
and
"Hold me up, that I may be safe and have regard for your statutes continually."
I've recently been reading a book where the author talks about how we live in a world where it is so easy to hate, and so hard to love. I got it from Jayber Crow by Wendell Berry. He's right. It is really easy to look at the people who do wrong things and let hate well up in you, but it is really hard to love people who (and all of us are/should be convicted by this statement) who inevitably do wrong things throughout our whole life.
That's why you have to hold that first verse up with the second that I pointed out. We can only live according to God's commands and God's will by GOD HOLDING US UP and giving us the power to follow in God's way. God's way is a hard way, but thankfully God's way is a journey where God comes to us and lifts us up.
