Because I'm taking forever

You still get little tidbits of that Psalm 119 goodness ;)

Oh, to have this kind of reverence for the Word and longing for the Lord. Let me tell you, my discontented heart couldn't have heard something more sobering than these few verses at such a needed time.

"Your laws are wonderful.
      No wonder I obey them!
The teaching of your word gives light,
      so even the simple can understand.
I pant with expectation,
      longing for your commands.
Come and show me your mercy,
      as you do for all who love your name.
Guide my steps by your word,
      so I will not be overcome by evil.
Ransom me from the oppression of evil people;
      then I can obey your commandments.
Look upon me with love;
      teach me your decrees.
Rivers of tears gush from my eyes
      because people disobey your instructions."
Psalm 119: 129-136


Happy Friday!
