Psalm 119:41-48, ESV
Waw Let your steadfast love come to me, O LORD, your salvation according to your promise;. then shall I have an answer for him who taunts me, for I trust in your word. And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth, for my hope is in your rules.
I will keep your law continually, forever and ever, and I shall walk in a wide place, for I have sought your precepts. I will also speak of your testimonies before kings and shall not be put to shame, for I find my delight in your commandments, which I love. I will lift up my hands toward your commandments, which I love, and I will meditate on your statutes.
Psalm 119:41-48, JN paraphrase
The answers to my life’s questions all lie within Your promises, but it is my responsibility to search them out. All from the taunts of an unbeliever to Satan’s jibe at Eve, “Did God actually say, ‘You shall not eat of any tree in the garden’?” The answer is there for me to search out and apply to my life. As are all other questions pertaining to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
