Thy Word

Psalm 119: 105

Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.

The writer of Psalm 119 expresses a deep love for God’s law. It says that he would worship seven times a day on God’s law. How often do we thank and praise God for giving us His law? How often do we seek His statutes and see it as His provision over our lives?

The scripture says the word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path. You wouldn’t go into a wilderness at night without a flashlight would you? You would fall and stumble from not being able to see in front of you.  In the same way, you can’t walk around this life without God’s Word. God’s Word is our sword to defend off anything that comes against us. God gave us His Word so we don't have to stumble and fall all the time. We will still make mistakes, but we have the knowledge to know how to correct it and move forward.

We should have a deep longing to seek after God and His Word. This is His love letter to the world. We have been given this to help people in a dark world. God doesn’t want us to wander through life.  He wants us to be free from sin and He has given us rules and guidelines to live by. Not to limit us, but to free and help us be fruitful here on earth.

Live with a passion to open God’s Word today. Reading one scripture today and meditating on it will help you so much when you have to deal with life’s circumstances. Worship and thank God today for giving us His Word and allowing us to be a part of His wonderful plan.
