Psalm 119.52
Comfort - in the face of conflict
“I have remembered Your ordinances from of old, O Lord, and comfort myself”
The word "comfort" does not seem to be as widely used today, in church circles, as it once was. In our day, many people want deliverance from certain situations or afflictions, whereas, in times past, God ministered comfort to the believer, which strengthened them to persevere in the face of many difficulties.

Modern masqueraded monsters maintain mirages, misleading many
Moreover meaningless monotony misleads musing minds.
Mocking machines manufacture meaningless methodical melancholy
Murmuring molten mischief melts meandering mystics
Moonlit midnight mocks mauled martyrs

"Experience is the best teacher,” sages say. But during the six years I spent as a grade schooler in Claveria Central School (CCS) in my native town Claveria, Masbate, one teacher stood as the finest among her colleagues in the academe, inspiring young minds to think analytically and creatively and motivating them to pursue their dreams wholeheartedly and purposively.

Time and time again they remember the past and linger over the words “if only .... “ If that situation parallels your experience, I would like to draw your attention to the 8th chapter of Zechariah,...

Psalm 119.51
Encountering arrogance
“The arrogant utterly deride me, yet I do not turn aside from Your law”
When we read, stand on, and openly confess God's word as the only solution to our problems, we often find that we immediately encounter hostile opposition.

Now that I’m a grandpa, I can only remember when’

In this verse, David continues in a similar theme from , by repeating and emphasising, the timeless and priceless benefits of God’s word.
