Scripture to Meditate On

I will keep your statutes;
      do not utterly forsake me! Psalm 119.8

How interesting! The psalmist takes seriously the possibility of God forsaking him. How many Christians even consider such a thing these days? And yet, here it is. 

But that's not the main point of this brief sentence. No, it's about God's statutes and the importance of keeping them. Those who keep His statutes will not be forsaken. However, those who don't… 

I'm thinking that this should prompt some important questions about our status before God and how we are to maintain that status. However, this much seems clear. Obedience to God's commands really is important for the Christian.
