Great peace has those who love your law nothing can make them stumble. – Psalm 119:165
People do not generally think of the law as pleasant or fun. Today’s verse says that those who love God’s law will have peace and not stumble. There are many reasons to love the law. Can you imagine driving without laws and how many accidents there would be? Laws are provided for protection and well-being. Though laws may seem burdensome at times, they offer great benefits to society. Likewise, obeying the Lord is for your benefit. God’s laws are provided to bring about and maintain a healthy society.
One day a lawyer asked Jesus, “‘Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?’ And he said to him, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets’” (Matthew 22:36-40). Let the law of love be your ultimate guide in all your decision-making and actions. This will give your life peace and stability in a troubled world.
Ask that the hearts of Americans would turn toward the Lord and that they would grow in His love so that this country might continue in harmony and peace.
