The Right and the Wrong
Homilist
Psalm 119:20-21
My soul breaks for the longing that it has to your judgments at all times.…


I. A HUNGERING for the right. This hunger indicates:

1. The existence of rectitude. For every Divine instinct there is an objective provision.

2. The condition of healthfulness. As a rule, where there is hunger there is health. The soul that hungers for the right is not utterly diseased.

3. The certainty of supply. Physical hunger is not always satisfied, but spiritual always. Blessed are they that hunger, for they shall be filled.

II. A DEPLORING for the WRONG. Pride is a wrong.

1. That is Divinely rebuked and cursed.

2. Which turns men from the commandments of God.

(Homilist.)
