Your Word

Is A Lamp To My Feet

The LORD exists forever; your word is firmly fixed in heaven. Your faithfulness endures to all generations; you have established the earth, and it stands fast. By your appointment they stand today, for all things are your servants. If your law had not been my delight, I would have perished in my misery. I will never forget your precepts, for by them you have given me life. I am yours; save me, for I have sought your precepts. The wicked lie in wait to destroy me, but I consider your decrees. I have seen a limit to all perfection, but your commandment is exceedingly broad.

Oh, how I love your law! It is my meditation all day long. Your commandment makes me wiser than my enemies, for it is always with me. I have more understanding than all my teachers, for all your decrees are my meditation. I understand more than the aged, for I keep your precepts. I hold back my feet from every evil way, in order to keep your word. I do not turn away from your ordinances, for you have taught me. How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Through your precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way.

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

Psalm 119:89-105

Biblical meditation focuses on the things of the Lord, and its purpose is to renew our minds so that we think and act more like Christ. Its objective is to reflect on what God has said and done and on what He is like.

Fill your mind with Scripture and focus on the Lord’s commands and promises and goodness. Be true, noble, just, pure, lovely, and of good report and you will be more like Christ.

To become more like Christ,

meditate on who He is.
