Psalm 119:54 Your statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage. I. THE PILGRIM'S HOUSE. 1. It is lodgment, not home. 2. It is shelter, not safety. 3. It affords convenience, but nor happiness. II. THE PILGRIM'S SONG. If God's statutes are our song, they supply a theme which can never fail us; for in all situations we have the opportunity of keeping His commandments. In all circumstances, high or low, pleasant or painful, we have to keep the statutes of the Lord. Poverty cannot silence this song; sorrow cannot dispense with it. For in poverty as in wealth, in sorrow as in joy, in keeping His commandments there is great delight. (R. Halley, M. A.)
