Your
Word Is A Lamp For My Feet
Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.
I have taken an oath and confirmed it, that I will
follow your righteous laws.
I have suffered much; preserve my life, Lord,
according to your word.
Accept, Lord, the willing praise of my mouth, and
teach me your laws.
Though I constantly take my life in my hands, I will
not forget your law.
The wicked have set a snare for me, but I have not
strayed from your precepts.
Your statutes are my heritage forever; they are the
joy of my heart.
My heart is set on keeping your decrees to the very
end.
Psalms
119:105-112
It’s hard to build a crop. Moses reminded the
Israelites of this before they entered the promised land.
God promised to send spring and autumn rains. The Lord
was taking His people to a place where their obedience and His blessing would
make them a light to those around them.
God wants the same for us and from us: He wants out
love to be displayed in our obedience so that we might be His light to people
around us. He is our provider, blessing us and enabling us to be a light that
the world will notice.
Loving
God doesn’t make life effortless, but having His strength makes it easier.
