Psalms 119:141. I am small and despised: yet do not I forget thy precepts.
In verse 139, the psalmist complained that his enemies had forgotten God’s words, and he does not complain of the fault in others, and then fall into it himself; but he says, "Yet do not I forget thy percepts." There are some people who seem to think that it does not much matter what they do. If they were persons of influence, they think that they would be very careful of their example. "But," says one, "I am only a feeble woman, - a poor mother with a few children." "Oh!" exclaims another, "I am only a child as yet, I cannot influence others." "Oh!" cries a third, "I am simply an ordinary working man, nobody notices me." Listen to what the psalmist says, "I am small and despised: yet do not I forget thy precepts." "I do not make all excuse out of my littleness, that I may be careless in my living." Take that message home, dear friends, and learn its lesson, for it applies to many of you.
