Righteousness Worth Craving

Psalm 119:137-144

Righteous are you, O LORD,
    and right are your rules.
138  You have appointed your testimonies in righteousness
    and in all faithfulness.
139  My zeal consumes me,
    because my foes forget your words.
140  Your promise is well tried,
    and your servant loves it.
141  I am small and despised,
    yet I do not forget your precepts.
142  Your righteousness is righteous forever,
    and your law is true.
143  Trouble and anguish have found me out,
    but your commandments are my delight.
144  Your testimonies are righteous forever;
    give me understanding that I may live.

Today’s Truth

God’s Word is worth our time and affection. When all else fails, God’s Word never does.

Discussion Questions

How do you think the Word came to save you? In what ways do you see the power of the Word, and how has the Word changed your life?
In what ways do you find the comfort of God and righteousness of God in His Word? John 15:3 (AMP) says, "You are already clean because of the word which I have given you [the teachings which I have discussed with you]."
How do those around you affect your impression of God’s Word?
