Learning to Follow the Royal Leader: Studying Tehillim: Chapter 119 (verses of Yud, part 3)
In emphasizing the unique privileges of our unique Divine creation, we should come to the realization of life’s true value and meaning. King David seeks to teach us how to earn the respect of the reverent and reach to become a shining example for others. Here, the Sweet Singer of Israel serenades us about the virtues of responsible spiritual leadership, developing a passion for Avodat Hashem, lucidly communicating profound truths and the power of hope in The Eternal. Because in the end, the truly virtuous will always best lead by example.
