"Your statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage." (Psalm 119:54)
The NLT says, "Your decrees have been the theme of my songs wherever I have lived." Our text has been particularly true of me over the last almost 42 years. The, "Words of God," indeed, "have been my songs," and, my salvation. "Wait a minute," some might say. "Jesus is our salvation." Indeed, and His Words are His breath; they are, "God-Breathed." It was, "The Word of God," Who brought the Universe into being, "And God said, 'Let there be,..and it was so.'" Everything you and I have today we have because of, "The Word of God," everything. My testimony is that whenever God speaks His Word, "and it was so," follows. I say with the hymn writer, "Great Is Thy Faithfulness."
Not long after our son, Stephen, went to be with the Lord, I began composing songs from Scriptures, well, maybe not "composing," rather, they just came to me, never copywrited, just used in various meetings I led as a pastor. At first I did not recognize what was going on. Then I realized, "Your statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage." They still are, and I commend them/Him to you. From time to time, I still sing the Scriptures. Jesus, "The Word of God, " and His Words, He is, "my songs in the house of my pilgrimage." No songs can equal, "Your statutes."
Father, in Jesus' Name, again I say, "Your [Words] have been my songs wherever I have lived." Thank you for Him. Amen.
