This psalm reminds us that we don t have to make ourselves happy. We need only choose to sink our roots into God s instruction and let the ever-flowing stream of the Spirit nourish our most inner being. On a side note, based on some of the commentary refection I have done. I think the word instruction is preferable to law in this context. Although both are acceptable translations of the Hebrew, torah, the implication is different, particularly in the minds of English speaking Americans.
Instruction tends to denote the whole of scripture where as law implies a set of legalistic rules.
His mom caught him sneaking and offered him a pan from the kitchen and then after walking through the woods with him, stood back as it was his responsibility and ministry. As we think of the water of life, I am reminded that God sent his son to offer us nourishment as we starved on the ways of the world. One small gift by standards, but one that brins hope and life to those who will receive it. Dave in Me.
