Psalms 119:87
“They had almost wiped me from the earth, but I didn’t forsake your precepts.”
What does Psalms 119:87 mean?
The psalmist is describing a time when enemies came dangerously close to destroying him, yet through it all, he held onto God's teachings and guidance. Even when his life hung by a thread, he refused to abandon the principles and commands that connected him to God. There's real courage in these words: not the absence of fear or danger, but the choice to stay faithful precisely when everything is falling apart. It's a quiet testimony that spiritual commitment can actually be the thing that keeps us grounded when external circumstances feel most unstable.
