"Your word...this is my comfort in my distress, that your promise gives life."
How very true. How very often we look to God's words for comfort in our lives. I know that I'm feeling a smidgen stressed out by everything that I have on my plate, and it's good to be reminded that God's words are a refuge of hope for me. I know other people can get into places where they are stressed out or worried or feeling as if life in general is bringing bad news after bad news everyday. And, we look to what God has to say to us to try and find meaning in all of that.
Yet...
How very often do we let that control our notions of how other people are acting and how other people live in relationship to God.
"Hot indignation seizes me because of the wicked, those who forsake your law."
I love that. "Hot indignation." It really reminds me that I need to guard against letting my relationship with God and the hope I find in scripture be a way that I judge other people around me.
