114 You are my hiding place and my shield; I hope in Your word. 115 Depart from me, you evildoers, for I will keep the commandments of my God! (Psalm 119:114–115, NKJV)
The psalmist trusted in God to preserve and protect him. God’s word sustained and fortified his confident hope in the Lord’s care: “And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth, for I have hoped in Your ordinances” (Psa. 119:43). The evildoers would find no place of penetration and plunder of this man’s heart and life, because he kept God’s commands. John the apostle said that God’s commands are not burdensome (1 Jno. 5:3). Indeed, by walking in God’s commands we have solid hope. God’s unfailing word assures the faithful of His refuge and protection against the enemies of righteousness. Be faithful to keep God’s commands, and set your hope fully upon God’s word. He will not fail you.
