Studies in the Psalms: "Word Delight: Joy When Life Isn’t Fair" | Psalm 119:161-176

Pastor Dave’s sermon, “Word Delight: Joy When Life Isn't Fair” focuses on vv. 161–176. In these closing verses, the psalmist speaks honestly about opposition, hardship, and the reality of living in a fallen world. Yet through it all, he continues to delight in God's Word, finding in it wisdom, comfort, hope, and lasting joy. The psalm concludes with a humble prayer: “I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek your servant,” a reminder that our ultimate hope is not in our faithfulness to God, but in His faithful pursuit of us.
