Psalm 119:49-56 “Remember your word to your servant, because you gave me hope. This is my comfort in my affliction, for your word has revived me. The arrogant mock me excessively, but I don’t swerve from your law. I remember your ordinances of old, LORD, and have comforted myself. Indignation has taken hold on me, because of the wicked who forsake your law. Your statutes have been my songs in the house where I live. I have remembered your name, LORD, in the night, and I obey your law. This is my way, that I keep your precepts.”

God’s Word does bring hope and comfort, but it can also bring indignation. We are right to be troubled when we see so many refuse to follow and believe. The key is to not allow that to take away our joy. Instead, we should sing about God, His Word, and His ways, and we should continually remember Him, even as we lay down to sleep at night. When we do, it will help us to keep His commands!
