Psalm 119 Vs 17-24 reminds us that as Christians we are strangers here on earth; this world is not our home. We need to be constantly reminded of that fact, for so often those around us will scorn us, slander us, and hold us in contempt. We must develop a tough skin as we realize that the views of those around us are irrelevant. It only matters what God thinks of us. We must never forget that our true home is Heaven.





How does the Psalmist address this problem? He meditates on God's decrees, considers them his delight, and views them as His counselors. This assumes that you know God's decrees! Spend time in God's Word, prayer, and meditation. As Christians it is our duty to read and study the Word of God. Along with this, we learn His Word primarily by listening to the preaching of His word by faithful ministers of God. Secondly, read sites devoted to encouraging and learning the truths of God and applying them to our own lives. Thirdly, purchase study aids, devotional aids, cds, etc.

Pray that you, along with the Psalmist can say: Your statutes are my delight; they are my counselors.
