Righteous are you, O LORD, and upright are your judgments. Your testimonies that you have commanded are righteous and very faithful. My zeal has consumed me, because my enemies have forgotten your words. Your word is very pure: therefore your servant loves it. I am small and despised: yet do I not forget your precepts. Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and your law is the truth. Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet your commandments are my delights. The righteousness of your testimonies is everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live. (Psalms 119:137-144)

Men attempt to hide from God’s truth and therefore they deny it. Today men call evil “good” and good “evil,” and reveal that they are men of lawlessness, men who do not know the truth. Thus this psalmist cries, “My zeal has consumed me because my enemies have forgotten your words!” Indeed the world has now forgotten God’s words.

But the overcomer, the one who prays these prayers found in Psalm 119, acknowledges that God’s judgments are upright and that his testimonies and commandments are righteous and faithful. He agrees with Paul who declares that “the form of knowledge and of truth [is] in the Law.” (Romans 2:20) Yet men despise and reject God’s law as something evil, and even Christians do the same!

But such should not be. Jesus prays that his Father would “sanctify [his disciples] in the truth” and then states, “Your word is truth.” (John 17:17) To “sanctify” means “to set apart for God’s use.” It is the acknowledgement and understanding of God’s truth which separates his people from unbelievers, the overcomer from the one who fails to overcomer. Jesus says God’s word is truth. Paul says that God’s Law is the form, or image, of truth. This psalmist, looking out toward the eternal, declares that the righteousness of God’s testimonies is everlasting, and thus joins the man after God’s own heart who exclaims,

The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover by them is your servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward. (Psalms 19:7-11)

Today more than ever we need to understand that God’s Law, God’s Word, is the truth. Only then can we stand against every demonic onslaught that comes against us in this dark hour. The deceptions lurk everywhere. Men hide in shadows claiming they fight the evil powers which rule our world and yet all the time trying to seduce us into another Luciferian cult. We live in a time when almost no words can be trusted, when men have given themselves to evil continually. Thus it was in the days of Noah, just before the flood. And thus it is in the Day of the LORD, just before Jesus reveals himself through his overcomers.

“Oh,” the overcomer cries, “give me understanding! Give me understanding! Give me understanding! For when I understand that your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and when I understand that your law is truth and altogether perfect, and when I know, really know, that your testimonies are everlasting, sure, and wise, then will you quicken me from the dead and then, and only then, will I really live!”
