Taw Abundant peace belongs to those who love Your law; The phrase "abundant peace" suggests a profound sense of well-being and tranquility that surpasses mere absence of conflict. In the Hebrew context, "peace" (shalom) encompasses completeness, soundness, and welfare. This peace is not just internal but also relational, extending to one's community and relationship with God. The promise of peace is a recurring theme in the Old Testament, often associated with obedience to God's commandments (Isaiah 26:3, Proverbs 3:1-2). The "law" refers to the Torah, the first five books of the Bible, which were central to Jewish life and worship. Loving the law implies a deep reverence and commitment to God's instructions, reflecting a heart aligned with His will. This love for the law is not merely intellectual but involves a heartfelt devotion, as seen in Psalm 1:2, where the righteous delight in the law of the Lord. nothing can make them stumble. Persons / Places / Events 1. PsalmistThe author of Psalm 119, traditionally believed to be King David, who expresses a deep love for God's law and instruction. 2. Israel The nation to whom the law was originally given, serving as the context for the Psalmist's reflections on God's Word. 3. God's Law (Torah) The divine instruction and commandments given to the people of Israel, central to the Psalmist's meditation and love. 4. Peace (Shalom) A state of wholeness and well-being that the Psalmist associates with loving God's instruction. 5. Stumbling A metaphor for falling into sin or error, which the Psalmist claims is avoided by those who love God's law. Teaching Points The Source of True PeaceTrue peace is found in a deep love and commitment to God's instruction. This peace is not dependent on external circumstances but is rooted in a relationship with God. The Stability of the Righteous Those who love God's law are less likely to stumble because their lives are grounded in divine truth. This stability is a result of aligning one's life with God's will. The Role of Love in Obedience Loving God's instruction is more than mere duty; it is a heartfelt devotion that transforms how we live and interact with the world. Avoiding Spiritual Pitfalls By immersing ourselves in God's Word, we are equipped to avoid the pitfalls of sin and error, leading to a life of integrity and righteousness. Peace as a Fruit of the Spirit The peace described in this verse is a reflection of the Holy Spirit's work in the believer's life, producing a calm assurance in God's promises.(165) Nothing shall offend them.--See margin. Perhaps the verse should take the form of a wish: great peace to the lovers of Thy law; no stumbling-block to them. Or, it may be, great peace have they who love Thy word and who find no hindrance. It was not the fact that the faithful did not stumble. Verse 165. - Great peace have they which love thy Law (comp. Proverbs 3:1, 2; Isaiah 32:17; James 3:18). There is always disquietude where there is sin. A sense of perfect peace and rest belongs to those who love and keep God's Law. And nothing shall offend them; rather, and they shall have no stumbling-block. Nothing shall cause them to stumble, much less to fall away from grace. |
