Our walk

Psalm 119:133 “Direct my footsteps according to your word, let no sin rule over me.” Notice that in this passage as well as throughout God’s Bible, God never says to worship Him according to what any religious denomination determines.  He wants us to read and study His Word for that is where we will find absolute Truth  None of us will enjoy the comfort He provides while living on this earth or live forever in eternity based on the beliefs and writings of any earthly denomination.  Our contented lives both on this earth and eternally is totally dependent on our personal faith and relationship we enjoy with our Heavenly Father. 

A name you love

Psalm 119:132 “Turn to me and have mercy on me, as you always do to those who love your name.” When you think of a person’s name you immediately think of qualities that are unique to that person.  When you hear or say the name Jesus you think of His great love for all of mankind.  As soon as Adam and Eve sinned the name of Jesus meant an overwhelming love and mercy which can be applied to no other name. What a wonderful name!  Jesus!

Discernment and understanding

Psalm 119:125 “I am your servant; give me discernment that I may understand your statutes.” As servants, as followers, as children, as adopted, as recipients of His perfect love for us each of us we want to live a life of understanding realizing perfect wisdom and perfect peace is only found walking by the side of our Heavenly Father.  In life, in death and throughout eternity each of us cherishes, for the present and for the future the tight relationship we enjoy being embraced by our God.

The value of God

Psalm 119:114 “You are my refuge and my shield; I have put my hope in your word.” There is never a time in our lives when we are alone.  There is never a time in our lives when we are not protected.  There is never a time in our lives when we cannot confidently trust in the loving protection and guidance offered freely from our Heavenly Father.  Our earthly lives and our salvation is secure.  Another wonderful blessing from our wonderful God.

Familiar words and thoughts

Psalm 119:105 “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” You and I cannot see without light.  Without light we would wonder in chaos.  We would be continually injuring ourselves and have to endure the frustration of never knowing either where we have been or where we are going.  Without Jesus we would wonder on this earth with no light or knowledge of truth.  Fortunately, we have bright light and we live with direction and purpose.  All and only because we know our Savior.  What a blessing!
