Psalm 119:25-32  The Message

^25-32 I’m feeling terrible—I couldn’t feel worse!
    Get me on my feet again. You promised, remember?
When I told my story, you responded;
    train me well in your deep wisdom.
Help me understand these things inside and out
    so I can ponder your miracle-wonders.
My sad life’s dilapidated, a falling-down barn;
    build me up again by your Word.
Barricade the road that goes Nowhere;
    grace me with your clear revelation.
I choose the true road to Somewhere,
    I post your road signs at every curve and corner.
I grasp and cling to whatever you tell me;
    God, don’t let me down!
I’ll run the course you lay out for me
    if you’ll just show me how.

For Reflection 

Oh how we yearn for the wisdom of God.  We see evidence of the use of false wisdom daily and know the limitations of human self-determination.  Justice struggles against injustice.  Fear rather thatntrust drives human decision.  Domination smothers compassion.  And the veracity of human wisdom pales in comparison to wisdom derived from the compassion and love of God.

Pray

for the wisdom to do justice, to practice forgiveness, and to act compassionately.
