Truth for Today Commentary: Psalms 119

Psalm 119 is unique in its extensive acrostic structure and in its singular praise for God and His Word. The psalmist repeatedly expressed his love and desire for God's law, referring to its commands and precepts using vivid terminology. With striking figurative language, he depicted his reliance on the Word to give him comfort, to protect him from the evil he saw around him, and to guide him into greater obedience to the God he adored. God's Word can be for us, as it was for him, a light to guide each step. Eddie Cloer's study challenges us to love, meditate on, and uphold the truths of the holy Scriptures. No one can engage in any higher pursuit, and this book is an excellent tool to help in that endeavor.
