Main Idea: The stability which comes from receiving God’s word causes praise and is demonstrated to faithfully keeping God’s word.

God’s word brings stability in our lives.

• 165 “Great peace have those who love your law; nothing can make them stumble.”

• 163 “I hate and abhor falsehood, but I love your law.”
• 164 “Seven times a day I praise you for your righteous rules.”
  • Acts 8:39
