Psalm 119:165

“Great peace have those who love your law, and nothing can make them stumble.” -Psalm 119:165 (NIV)

I never understood that, until recently. Like that passage, Psalm 1 I believe, his delight is in the law of the Lord and in his law doth he mediate day and night.  Why would someone delight in more rules and restrictions?

Today I see things differently. Following the rules keeps me safe. If I think of Peace as a lack of anxiety, then it's easy to see how living within the rules brings peace.
