Psalm 119:113-128

The psalmist describes his longing in verse 123: God's salvation. Though his concept of salvation may not match with my definition in the details there is one common point; both of us would include God's presence as a part of that salvation. We would agree on the second part of the verse as well; that God's salvation involves the fulfillment of God's promises. What has God promised to the Christian? An abundant life (John 10:10), an easy burden (Matthew 11:30), the forgiveness of sins (1 John 1:9), Jesus' perprtual presence (Matthew 28:20), and everlasting life (John 3:16). And those are just a few of his promises.
It took me about 2 minutes to read this passage.
