Psalms 119:92. Unless thy law had been my delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction.
Notice the love of God’s servant to God’s Word: "Unless thy law had been my delights." The word is in the plural, for the psalmist not only took a delight in it, but all his delights were there. It was the sea of happiness wherein he bathed his entire soul. "Unless it had been so," says he, "I should then have perished in mine affliction." One of the best preservatives for the heart in times of trouble is an intense delight in the Word of God. Oh, to get away from this noisy world, from the turmoil of life, and its endless discussions and controversies, and to sit down, and quietly listen to what that Word has to say to us! This is the best way to recuperate drooping and fainting spirits.
