‏ Psalms 119:24

Delight and Guidance from God’s Statutes

This section explains how God’s word can bring joy and wise advice, even when people face trouble or confusion. David found comfort and happiness in God’s teachings, especially when other things in life were hard or disappointing. He also trusted God’s word to guide him in making decisions and to help him know what to do when he was mistreated by others.

v. 24: David says, Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counsellors . God’s word made him happy, even when he was sad or attacked by others. Instead of turning to people or things for advice, David let God’s word guide his choices. He listened to what God said and found more satisfaction in it than in any other advice or pleasure. David teaches us that if we let God’s word guide us, it will also bring us true joy.
