A Light To My Path
Your
word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. I have sworn an oath and
confirmed it, to observe your righteous ordinances. I am severely afflicted;
give me life, O LORD, according to your word. Accept my offerings of praise, O
LORD, and teach me your ordinances. I hold my life in my hand continually, but
I do not forget your law. The wicked have laid a snare for me, but I do not
stray from your precepts. Your decrees are my heritage forever; they are the
joy of my heart. I incline my heart to perform your statutes forever, to the
end.
I
hate the double-minded, but I love your law. You are my hiding place and my
shield; I hope in your word. Go away from me, you evildoers, that I may keep
the commandments of my God. Uphold me according to your promise, that I may
have life, and let me not be put to shame in my hope. Hold me up, that I may be
safe and have regard for your statutes continually. You spurn all who go astray
from your statutes; for their cunning is in vain. All the wicked of the earth
you count as dross; there I love your decrees.
Psalm 119:105-120
Many
times we are called to travel down roads we have never been on before. Know
that you will not be tested beyond your limits. The paths may feel threatening,
and we may make mistakes. We can ask our LORD to make the paths straight before
our faces, so we can find them. How is the path you are on? Ask your Father to travel it with you.
The Spirit within us will faithfully guide us.
