Righteous Rules

Psalm 119:159-160 Consider how I love your precepts!Give me life according to your steadfast love. The sum of your word is truth,and every one of your righteous rules endures forever. 
What a passion for the Word of God!  The psalmist rightly realizes the connection between life and the Word of God; in it we find life and how to live it.  How clear and concise his conclusion: "Your Word is Truth."  This makes the last statement possible - the recognition that God's rules are not a burden; they are not given to make us miserable.  They are righteous, just the way they should be, for the relationship involved here - a creation to his/her Almightly Creator and Sovereign Lord of the universe.  God has it right.
