PSALM 119:57-64 57 You are my portion, Lord;     I have promised to obey your words. 58 I have sought your face with all my heart;     be gracious to me according to your promise. 59 I have considered my ways     and have turned my steps to your statutes. 60 I will hasten and not delay     to obey your commands. 61 Though the wicked bind me with ropes,     I will not forget your law. 62 At midnight I rise to give you thanks     for your righteous laws. 63 I am a friend to all who fear you,     to all who follow your precepts. 64 The earth is filled with your love, Lord;     teach me your decrees.

PSALM 119:49-56 49 Remember your word to your servant,     for you have given me hope. 50 My comfort in my suffering is this:     Your promise preserves my life. 51 The arrogant mock me unmercifully,     but I do not turn from your law. 52 I remember, Lord, your ancient laws,     and I find comfort in them. 53 Indignation grips me because of the wicked,     who have forsaken your law. 54 Your decrees are the theme of my song     wherever I lodge. 55 In the night, Lord, I remember your name,     that I may keep your law. 56 This has been my practice:     I obey your precepts

PSALM 119:41-48 41 May your unfailing love come to me, Lord,     your salvation, according to your promise; 42 then I can answer anyone who taunts me,     for I trust in your word. 43 Never take your word of truth from my mouth,     for I have put my hope in your laws. 44 I will always obey your law,     for ever and ever. 45 I will walk about in freedom,     for I have sought out your precepts. 46 I will speak of your statutes before kings     and will not be put to shame, 47 for I delight in your commands     because I love them. 48 I reach out for your commands, which I love,     that I may meditate on your decrees.

Psalm 119:17-24 17 Be good to your servant while I live,     that I may obey your word. 18 Open my eyes that I may see     wonderful things in your law. 19 I am a stranger on earth;     do not hide your commands from me. 20 My soul is consumed with longing     for your laws at all times. 21 You rebuke the arrogant, who are accursed,     those who stray from your commands. 22 Remove from me their scorn and contempt,     for I keep your statutes. 23 Though rulers sit together and slander me,     your servant will meditate on your decrees. 24 Your statutes are my delight;     they are my counselors.

PSALM 119:1-16 1 Blessed are those whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the law of the LORD.  2 Blessed are those who keep his statutes and seek him with all their heart—  3 they do no wrong but follow his ways.  4 You have laid down precepts that are to be fully obeyed.  5 Oh, that my ways were steadfast in obeying your decrees!  6 Then I would not be put to shame when I consider all your commands.  7 I will praise you with an upright heart as I learn your righteous laws.  8 I will obey your decrees; do not utterly forsake me.  9 How can a young person stay on the path of purity?

Psalm 37 Instruction in Wisdom 1 Do not be agitated by evildoers; do not envy those who do wrong. 2 For they wither quickly like grass and wilt like tender green plants. 3 Trust in the Lord and do what is good; dwell in the land and live securely. 4 Take delight in the Lord, and He will give you your heart’s desires. 5 Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him, and He will act, 6 making your righteousness shine like the dawn, your justice like the noonday. 7 Be silent before the Lord and wait expectantly for Him; do not be agitated by one who prospers in his way, by the man who carries out evil plans. 8 Refrain from anger and give up your rage; do not be agitated—it can only bring harm. 9 For evildoers will be destroyed, but those who put their hope in the Lord will inherit the land. 10 A little while, and the wicked person will be no more; though you look for him, he will not be there. 11 But the humble will inherit the land and will enjoy abundant prosperity.

Psalm 23 The Good Shepherd A Davidic psalm. 1 The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I lack. 2 He lets me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters. 3 He renews my life; He leads me along the right paths for His name’s sake. 4 Even when I go through the darkest valley, I fear no danger, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. 6 Only goodness and faithful love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord as long as I live.

Warning, No Lines Painted: from the book "The Sole Balm" by Elmon Krupnik 2017  As I was driving home to Phoenix this past weekend late at night, a flashing road sign alerted me that road construction was ahead and that no lines were painted on the road.  The yellow and white lines on the road are important because they tell us the lanes that we are in on the highway, set the boundaries, and tell us when we can pass.  It was interesting and at times scary to be traveling down a highway late at night with no boundaries and no guidance.  It made me realize how important those lines and boundaries are for protection and for safety for myself and others.  I had taken those lines for granted.  I thought about the lines and boundaries (laws, regulations, orders, ethics) that are the boundaries, the painted lines that govern our lives.  The purpose of those lines is to protect me and to protect others.  Without those lines in my life, my life would be without order; rather, it would be chaos.  Proverbs 2:6-8 state
