Sometimes I find a Bible verse or two which are "nuggets" of good thoughts, plus the commentary at the bottom of the page in my Bible expands on what I read. These are four verses in Psalms, which I liked and shared with people at What's for Supper? last night:

Psalms 19: 7 – 11:  "God’s laws are perfect. They protect us, make us wise, and give us joy and light. God’s laws are pure, eternal, and just. They are more desirable than gold. They are sweeter than honey dripping from a honeycomb. For they warn us away from harm and give success to those who obey him.

Commentary: "When we think of the Law, we often think of something that keeps us from having fun. But here we see the opposite – laws that free us, protect us, make us wise, and bring joy and light. That’s because God’s laws are guidelines and lights on our path, rather than chains on our hands and feet. They point at harm and warn us, then point at success and guide us."
