Psalm 119:143
Trouble and anguish have overtaken me,
Yet Your commandments are my delights.

Application: 

Psalm 119:143 encapsulates a profound notion of finding joy and delight through spiritual Biblical teachings, even when life presents significant challenges. This powerful contrast highlights the resilience of faith and the strength that comes from adhering to divine guidance.

The Role of The Commandments in Troubling Times

When faced with overwhelming adversity, it is easy to feel lost and anxious. However, the commandments, or teachings of God, provide a framework of support. In times of trouble, they serve as a foundation, offering solace and direction (Psalm 18:2). The reverence for these principles breathes life into our struggles, illustrating how divine wisdom can be a source of joy amidst sorrow.

Delight as an Act of Faith

Finding delight in commandments, especially during difficult moments, is not merely a suggestion but an act of faith (Romans 8:31-39). By embracing these teachings, individuals can cultivate a mindset of gratitude and resilience (Philippians 4:6-7). This biblical sentiment encourages reflecting on the deeper meanings behind life’s tribulations and recognizing that spiritual directives can bring peace, even when external circumstances are far from ideal. As David wrote in Psalm 1, my delight is in the law of the LORD, and in it I will meditate day and night.

Peace is not the absence of trouble and tribulations. Peace is knowing and trusting He who holds your times in His hands (Psalm 31:15). If we dwell in His secret place, if we delight in his law, if we walk in obedience, He will cover us with His feathers (Psalm 91).

To God be the glory!

Our Lord Jesus Christ created everything! By Him, For Him!

“The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; The Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.” Numbers 6:24-26
