Psalm 119:137-144
English Standard Version (ESV)
Saturday, we made brownies. The weekends usually find us baking something, often cookies, and then consuming most of them by the time the weekend is over. The brownies were finished last night, and I wouldn't say that I demonstrated much restraint around them. Sunday morning, however, I felt terrible. I knew I shouldn't eat that many brownies, but they just tasted so good...
It's the story of so many human failures. We know we shouldn't, but we do it anyway. God's law is true, no matter how good violating it may feel in the short term. The enemy often offers pleasure, and we pursue that, neglecting what we know to be right and true.
Despite our failures, God is faithful still. Even when we find trouble and anguish, God delights in us, offering us forgiveness, offering us life, setting us back on the right path and leading us forward.
May we cling to God's righteousness, freely given, and let that guide us as we navigate the waters of life.
