Sunday Psalm Life Worth Living

Sunday April 15, 2018

Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path. I’ve promised it once, and I’ll promise it again: I will obey your righteous regulations. I have suffered much, O Lord; restore my life again as you promised. Lord, accept my offering of praise, and teach me your regulations. My life constantly hangs in the balance, but I will not stop obeying your instructions. The wicked have set their traps for me, but I will not turn from your commandments. Your laws are my treasure; they are my heart’s delight. I am determined to keep your decrees to the very end.  (Psalm 119:105-112 NLT)

 Today’s words from the Bible encourage us to have hope as we seek life with God in recovery.  We have suffered much.  On many occasions life seemed to be hanging in the balance.  Even now, as we determine to walk a new path, we hear the voice of the enemy tempting us back to our old way of thinking and operating.  However, we have God’s promise that He will help us stand firm in Christ.  Thankfully, God’s promises are unlike our promises.  His promises are trustworthy and reliable.
As we walk forward, one step at a time, we need to keep our focus on the Lord, allowing His word to bring light to our path.  We will find, as we continue to journey with the Lord and follow His instructions, that His way is perfect.  We will experience the good life we were previously seeking but never able to find, and we will experience joy.  We may not be able to see too far ahead of us, but we certainly have light for our next step and the presence of a loving God accompanying us. 


We don’t need to understand everything today.  God will teach us as we go.  The pathway to peace is found in persevering and following God’s righteous regulations to the very end.  God’s laws become the treasure we seek and our heart’s delight.
Prayer:  Lord Jesus, In your light, I will see light, for You are the light of the world.  Please help me to know You more and follow Your ways in all my affairs.  Thank You for Your presence ever with me.  Amen
