Not Ashamed of God's Word - Psalms 119:41-48

In Psalm 119:41-48, the psalmist bold portrays absolute confidence in God's word, in his life, to people around and to God.

He has absolute confidence in God's loving kindness and salvation according to His word. v41
Through His word, he has answer for people who reproach him. v42.
He has complete trust in His word. v42,43
The word permeates to his life, to his actions. He keeps the law continually. v44
He is not ashamed of sharing his testimonies concerning God in his life before kings. v46.
He delights in his word. v47
He meditates on it. v48

Many things to learn from these verses. Especially not being ashamed of sharing God's testimonies before kings. How often we shy away from mentioning God before others. Especially so when we are before people who rank higher in us in society. We tend to discount God, be afraid of how people view us when we mention God, afraid that some disadvantage/inconvenience will come us.

May God forgive us, and help us to be strong and courageous, to share our testimonies of God's grace in our lives before anyone.
