Psalm 119 - Yod

73Your hands have made me and fashioned me;
Give me understanding, that I may learn Your commandments.
74Those who fear You will be glad when they see me,
Because I have hoped in Your word.
75I know, O Lord, that Your judgments are right,
And that in faithfulness You have afflicted me.
76Let, I pray, Your merciful kindness be for my comfort,
According to Your word to Your servant.
77Let Your tender mercies come to me, that I may live;
For Your law is my delight.
78Let the proud be ashamed,
For they treated me wrongfully with falsehood;
But I will meditate on Your precepts.
79Let those who fear You turn to me,
Those who know Your testimonies.
80Let my heart be blameless regarding Your statutes,
That I may not be ashamed.
-Psalm 119:73-80

This is a common teaching within Scripture that is good for us to latch on to. Those who love the Lord will love those who belong to the Lord as well. As a matter of fact, 1 John teaches this as evidence of faith, or for the one who does not love, a lack of faith. I have been in many situations where I have been around many people who, according to the flesh, I should have nothing in common with. However, as they have hoped in the word of God and as I have, we had beautiful unity. We should be unified together on the basis of our devotion to the word of God and the faith that we have committed to. Strive for unity in the saints. Rejoice in the fellowship. Amen.
