Psalm 119:1 TLB: “Happy are all who perfectly follow the laws of God.”
We all know the 10 Commandments. They are not only God’s Law – turns out that they’re also a pretty good way to live! Living your life God’s way lets you sidestep many of life’s problems. Adherence to God’s principles smoothes out the bumps in your road and fills in the potholes.
There are actually 613 Commandments in the Bible, but since Jesus, many are no longer necessary. Jesus himself covered most situations with the summary, “Love God and love your neighbor.”
This psalm teaches that following God’s precepts isn’t a burden. We have happier, more joyful lives living in harmony with the Lord and with our fellows. The Message paraphrases it like this: “You’re blessed when you stay on course, walking steadily on the road revealed by God.” And that gives us hope!
Blessings and safety to all today,
