Psalm 119:143–Delighting in the Lord's Commandments Amidst Strife

Psalm 119:143–"Trouble and anguish have found me out, but Your commandments are my delight."

Life is a sequence of undulations.  Waves of highs and lows can seem to pound our lives with such force and power that, if we are not grounded, we can easily fall into the undertow.  Because of all this, it is of vital importance that we continually reset ourselves.  After all, our lives are so naturally unstable that we need to frequently realign ourselves with something sure, something stable, and something eternal.  This is the point of this verse, that we would always find our peace and our delight amidst the undulations of life in God and in His Word.  O that we would!
