When offended, the author of Psalm 119 meditated on the Word of God-----not the offense.
How many, besides me, mull over and over (a.k.a. meditate on) every detail of an insult or thoughtless comment?
And considering that one of the definitions of meditate is 'to mutter,' how many of us mutter to anyone who will listen?
Beings my way hasn't worked so well in healing the hurt or making me feel better, I think (with God reminding me) I'll try the psalmist's way.
After all, whatever anyone else says, God says I am precious, gifted, loved, and that I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wouldn't it be better to mutter about that?
Time to Store a few verses for coming occasions,
