They let God’s word guide their lives, and they follow its teachings. Because of this, they experience a special kind of peace and safety that only comes from God. v. 165 : The psalmist says, Great peace have those that love thy law . People who love and obey God’s law feel deep satisfaction when they do what is right, and they are happy when they think about their good choices. This peace is different from what the world offers. Even if life is hard on the outside, they have peace inside. As it says, The work of righteousness is peace (Isaiah 32:17 ). People who love the world often feel disappointed and upset, but those who love God’s word feel more peace than they expected. Also, nothing shall offend them (Psalm 119:165 ).

They trust that everything God allows will work out for their good, so they do not get easily upset or angry. They also do not hold grudges or become offended by others, just as love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres (1 Corinthians 13:6

The Blessing of Loving God’s Law

This verse describes how people who truly love God’s word find real happiness. They let God’s word guide their lives, and they follow its teachings. Because of this, they experience a special kind of peace and safety that only comes from God.

v. 165: The psalmist says, Great peace have those that love thy law . People who love and obey God’s law feel deep satisfaction when they do what is right, and they are happy when they think about their good choices. This peace is different from what the world offers. Even if life is hard on the outside, they have peace inside. As it says, The work of righteousness is peace (Isaiah 32:17 ^a). People who love the world often feel disappointed and upset, but those who love God’s word feel more peace than they expected. Also, nothing shall offend them (Psalm 119:165 ^b). This means nothing will trip them up or make them fall into sin or sadness. Even when hard things happen, their love for God’s word helps them stay calm and faithful. They trust that everything God allows will work out for their good, so they do not get easily upset or angry. They also do not hold grudges or become offended by others, just as love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres (1 Corinthians 13:6–7 ^c).
