I've been thinking a bit how I might add more content to my blog and have decided that short "meditations" on scripture could be of benefit to myself and others. I memorized this short text last night and decided this would be a great starting point.
Psalm 119:165 Great peace have those who love your law; nothing can make them stumble.
Notice in this Psalm how "loving" God's law works powerfully for our good. We are given "great peace" and then the astonishing statement. "Nothing can make them stumble". If we would have peace with God, with man, and in circumstances life brings, we must love God's law. If we wish to stand the trails that life will bring us and persevere in faith, we must love God's law.

Piper Quote of the Day
“The pursuit of joy in God is not optional. It is not an ‘extra’ that a person might grow into after he comes to faith. Until your heart has hit upon this pursuit, your ‘faith’ cannot please God. It is not saving faith.” (Desiring God, pg. 69) - John Piper
If one has to choose between reading the new books and reading the old, one must choose the old: not because they are necessarily better but because they contain precisely those truths of which our own age is neglectful. - C.S. Lewis
Piper Quote of the Day
“Jesus gives us the assurance that if we will follow him to Golgotha during all the Good Fridays of this life, we will also rise with him on the last Easter day of the resurrection.”
(Let the Nations Be Glad!, pg. 75)
The doctrine of eternal security is essentially this, when the human heart is overwhelmed and subdued by the beauty and grandeur of God, it is done decisively.
There is something exceedingly improving to the mind in a contemplation of the Divinity - C.H. Spurgeon
Piper Quote of the Day
“God created the universe and all that is in it as an emanation or manifestation of the fullness of his glory.”
(Future Grace, pg. 374)
