Yodh: Delighting in the Rules

Read Psalm 119:73-80

Today’s Truth

Rules often feel restrictive. Here, the psalmist speaks of his confidence that the Lord’s rules are righteous.

Far from boxing us in, the words of the Lord bring comfort and show God’s love. Like a good father who established discipline for his children, God has given us His words so we might enjoy life without shame.

Discussion Questions

Feelings don’t always tell us the truth. How has this played out in your life?
How does God’s law give us freedom?

Application

Today, as you read God’s words, may you delight in them. May you understand that God gives us rules because He is a good Father. And may you, through Jesus, walk in the law of the Lord in freedom.

About the Author

Chuck Adair

If you ask Chuck his favorite thing in life to do, he would tell you it is the teaching and preaching of the scriptures and to call all people to engage in the great adventure of abiding with Christ. He desires to connect people with the richness, adventure, and fullness of life that comes through Christ alone and to reach the unchurched, de-churched, dead-churched, and unmoved. Chuck is married to his best friend Kristin and has two adult children, Taylor and Linley. Kris and Chuck believe the quality of their marriage rises and falls, not on circumstances or feelings, but based on their daily abiding with Jesus (Jn 15.5).
