"Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage." Psalm 119:54. We are all on a pilgrimage. Our life is a journey. Some of our days are happy, while other days are sad. Our life is better and more enjoyable when we sing. Songs can fill our hearts with happiness. But, the songs that we sing can make the difference. The psalmist sang of God's statutes. Statutes are laws or rules by which life is to be controlled. The statutes of God are wisdom and righteousness. His statutes offer us guidance through a world that has pitfalls. His statutes enable us to overcome the enemies that we face. His statutes deliver us from adversity and turmoil. The statutes of God purify us and make us holy. In the night, we can sing the song of His statutes and see the light. When we are burdened, we can sing the song of His statutes and know strength. In temptation, we can sing the song of His statutes and find an escape. Amidst the battle, we can sing the songs of His statutes and fight the enemy. As we make our pilgrimage through this land, let us sing. And may our songs ever be the statutes of Jehovah.
