有人把诗篇119比作一串珍珠。诗人写作时不是按一个主题发展下去的，他乃是逐颗珍珠加上去，它们连在一起时便成为一串美丽的真理和智慧了。今天这段经文的珍珠乃是神“不变的爱。”
神“不变的爱”是整本圣经中最重要的字句，我们在圣经中读到的故事中，一次又一次显明神对衪的儿女坚定和不变的爱 － 在任何情况之下，尽管有时是他们自己有转离神的倾向，衪的爱仍然不会改变。
在这段经文中，诗人强调神不变的爱，并且提醒我们神的话语和我们的关系。藉着应许衪永远不会撇下我们或丢弃我们（约书亚记 1:5），神向我们启示自己和衪对我们不变的爱。当我们读到神的爱和应许时，我们心里便会产生一个连锁反应，神的话语叫我们心里充满对衪的敬畏和惊叹，我们便会因此更渴望去爱神、取悦神、服事神和服事其他人了。
你希望你的信心会增长吗？深入钻研神的话语吧。你越深入探索，你便会在知识和恩典上有长进，又能更渴望尽心、尽性、尽意、和尽力去爱神和事奉衪，并且爱人如己了。
神啊，祢一直都坚定地爱我们。求祢帮助我们去爱和以祢的话语为乐，叫我们能更爱祢和爱人。阿们。
诗篇 119:41-48
41耶和华啊，愿你照你的话，使你的慈爱，就是你的救恩，临到我身上。
42我就有话回答那羞辱我的，因我倚靠你的话。
43求你叫真理的话总不离开我口，因我仰望你的典章。
44我要常守你的律法，直到永永远远。
45我要自由而行，因我素来考究你的训词。
46我也要在君王面前论说你的法度，并不至于羞愧。
47我要在你的命令中自乐，这命令素来是我所爱的。
48我又要遵行你的命令，这命令素来是我所爱的，我也要思想你的律例。
"May your unfailing love come to me, LORD, your salvation, according to your promise." - Psalm 119:41
Some people have compared Psalm 119 to a string of pearls. Rather than develop one theme, the psalmist adds one pearl at a time so that together they create a beautiful strand of truth and wisdom. The pearl of this section is God’s “unfailing love.”
God’s “unfailing love” (hesed) is the most important term in the entire Bible. Over and over, we read stories in the Bible that show God’s steadfast, unfailing love for his children—through thick and thin, and often despite their own tendency to wander from God.
In this section, the psalmist highlights God’s unfailing love and reminds us of the relationship between God’s Word and us. God reveals himself and his unfailing love for us through his promise that he will never leave us or forsake us (see Joshua 1:5). As we read of God’s love and promises, a chain reaction sets off within us. God’s Word fills us with awe and wonder for God himself, and we, in turn, grow in our desire to love, please, and serve God and others.
Do you want to grow in your faith? Dig deeply into God’s Word. As you delve deeper, you will grow in knowledge and grace with a desire to love and serve God with all of your heart, mind, soul, and strength and to love others as yourself.
You have steadfastly loved us, Lord. Help us to love and delight in your Word as we grow in loving you and others. Amen.
