Today's Meditation - Psalms
Psalm 119:49-56
The Hebrew letter beginning this section looks like a cane to lean on and reminds us that God’s Word is like that – called a zain. A key phrase in this section is in verse 50, “for Thy Word hath quickened me.” It is the Word of God that gives life. We are born again by the incorruptible Word of God (I Peter 1:23-25) that lives and abides forever; and, we are also given “life” when the trials and difficult circumstances have overwhelmed us and we feel like giving up. There is “hope” says verse 49. Hope beyond the grave is indeed given through the Word of God, but there is also hope today in the midst of our despair.
Verse for Meditation: Verse 50 – “This is my comfort in my affliction: for Thy word hath quickened me.
