Psalms 119:83. For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget thy statutes.
When an empty skin bottle was hung up in one of the smoky dwellings of the East, it became withered, cracked, useless; and the psalmist says, "‘I am become like a bottle in the smoke,’ - I seem to be good for nothing, withered, dried up; - ‘yet do I not forget thy statutes.’" A good memory is one of the best of things for us to possess; but a good memory for that which is good is better still.
