Psalm 119:132 Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

132 Look upon me, be merciful unto me, and show me favor, as is Your way to those who love Your name.

Wisdom From Fellow Pilgrims

I have made up my mind that if there is a God, he will be merciful to the merciful.
Upon that rock I stand. –

That he will not torture the forgiving. –
Upon that rock I stand. –

That every man should be true to himself, and that there is no world, no star, in which honesty is a crime.
Upon that rock I stand.

The honest man, the good woman, the happy child, have nothing to fear, either in this world or the world to come.
Upon that rock I stand.” 

Robert G. Ingersoll

Wisdom From Fellow Pilgrims

“The enemies who chase me are numerous.
Yet I do not turn aside from your rules.

I take note of the treacherous and despise them,
because they do not keep your instructions.

See how I love your precepts.
O Lord, revive me with your loyal love.

Your instructions are totally reliable;
all your just regulations endure.”

Ecclesiastes 2:26 King James Version

26 For God giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God. This also is vanity and vexation of spirit.

Wisdom From Fellow Pilgrims

“The very quality of your life, whether you love it or hate it, is based upon how thankful you are toward God. It is one’s attitude that determines whether life unfolds into a place of blessedness or wretchedness. Indeed, looking at the same rose bush, some people complain that the roses have thorns while others rejoice that some thorns come with roses. It all depends on your perspective.

This is the only life you will have before you enter eternity. If you want to find joy, you must first find thankfulness. Indeed, the one who is thankful for even a little enjoys much. But the unappreciative soul is always miserable, always complaining. He lives outside the shelter of the Most High God.

Habakkuk 2:4 King James Version

4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.

Wisdom From Fellow Pilgrims

“Ferbin’s father had had the same robustly pragmatic view of religion as he’d had of everything else. In his opinion, only the very poor and downtrodden really needed religion, to make their laborious lives more bearable. People craved self-importance; they longed to be told they mattered as individuals, not just as part of a mass of people or some historical process. They needed the reassurance that while their life might be hard, bitter and thankless, some reward would be theirs after death. Happily for the governing class, a well-formed faith also kept people from seeking their recompense in the here and now, through riot, insurrection or revolution.”
