Psalm 119.1-3

Happy are those whose way is blameless, who walk in the law of the Lord. Happy are those who keep his decrees, who seek them with their whole heart, who also do no wrong, but walk in his name.

Our meditation for the week is the Beatitudes, and this is another instance of this genre in the Bible. This is the longest Psalm and is a meditation on the Law of the God. Though we are not saved by the Law, but rather by Faith, our Faith generates the desire to do what God wants. Our Faith generated the walk to Jerusalem, but there would be worse things upon which to meditate on the way than God's Law, especially as summed by Christ.
