Psalm 119 is the longest psalm and reads as a litany of prayers and reflections. Today’s passage has righteousness as its central theme. The psalmist acknowledges not his own righteousness but that of God and then acknowledges God’s presence as reflected in the law.

In a world where so much...

Gracious God, may we lean on your word not as a text of exclusion but one that calls us to live righteously and compassionately. Enliven us to hear your words and delight in you even as we mourn an often-broken world. Amen.

Resumen de la Escritura

This week includes All Saints Day, when we remember those who have come before and handed down the faith to us, especially through trials. Habakkuk reminds us that our predecessors sometimes suffered discouragement, but the righteous have always lived by faith. The psalmist also has experienced hard times, but he knows that God’s commandments are true and lead to life. The Thessalonians have experienced persecution as well; yet through their strength their faith and love continue to grow to the glory of Christ. May the same be said of us and our church communities! The famous story of Zacchaeus illustrates that the crowd of faithful witnesses that we celebrate on All Saints Day includes those who have been lost—outsiders—for Jesus comes to seek and save the lost.
