"Blessed are those whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the law of the Lord.
Psalm 119 is one of the most intriguing pieces of writing in the entire Bible. We note that it is the longest chapter in Scriptures (176 verses) and includes 22 sections of eight lines each. This coincides with the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet and is a technique that was used to help believers memorise the sacred text. It is also worth noting that this Psalm makes 8 different references to the Law, using 8 synonyms for the commands of God. In today's reading, you will note 2 of these.
The overriding message of this Psalm is that if we choose to follow the ways of God we will be Blessed. God's ways are hard to follow, but they will bring us to a place of contentment and peace.
Socrates - The end of life is to be like unto God; and the soul following God, will be like unto Him; He being the beginning, middle, and end of all things.
