TODAY’S SCRIPTURE

There is a correcting element to God’s word. Remember that those whom the Lord loves, He disciplines. In our assigned reading for today the psalmist recalls a time he went astray. But God loved him enough to afflict him and call him back home.

(Psalm 119 ט)

65 Do good to your servant

    according to your word, Lord.

66 Teach me knowledge and good judgment,

    for I trust your commands.

67 Before I was afflicted I went astray,

    but now I obey your word.

68 You are good, and what you do is good;

    teach me your decrees.

69 Though the arrogant have smeared me with lies,

    I keep your precepts with all my heart.

70 Their hearts are callous and unfeeling,

    but I delight in your law.

71 It was good for me to be afflicted

    so that I might learn your decrees.

72 The law from your mouth is more precious to me

    than thousands of pieces of silver and gold.
