loving his commands

These are the words of a person who has found the answer in God’s word and loves it. He is still taunted by unbelievers and cries out for God to be faithful to him, but he has chosen to love God’s commands.

You and I have a choice as to who and what we love. If we are wise we will choose to love the words of our living God as much as we love him for his actions.
