Psalm 119:89-96 - Focus on the Lord

David has just described the struggles he is going through, or rather the effect they were having on him, and he was feeling his strength drain away. Now he turns his focus back on to God. We will all go through times when we feel overwhelmed by events and circumstances. It is normal to go through these times. We need to hold on, and turn our attention back to God.
For the word of the Lord is eternal, the circumstances are temporary. The circumstances will pass away, the word of the Lord will stand forever.
The Lord's faithfulness and His laws stand forever. We need to have an eternal perspective, knowing what is truly important.
It is holding on to God's word that enables us to get through times of affliction.
Yet again there is mention of the wicked, but the word of the Lord is more powerful and is without limit.
