Psalms 46:10
“Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”
. To enter our will in God’s will
. To seek God above all else
. To be open to divine persuasion
Psalms 119:105
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.
106 I have taken an oath and confirmed it, that I will follow your righteous laws.
Thoughts on Today's Verse....
So often, those of us who have received the blessings of faith and the guidelines of the Word of God don't fully appreciate them. Can you imagine what it is like to try to define ones worth, clarify ones values, and establish ones sense of purpose without a standard of truth? Imagine what it would be like to be lost without a map and without a compass? Remember what it was like to wake up in an unfamiliar place as a child in the pitch black darkness totally disoriented? We don't have to worry about that now, do we? God's Word — both Scripture and his Son — light our dark paths and show us the way home!
Daily Thoughts
. The light that shines farthest shines brightest at home.
. Those who have their hearts fixed on heaven will hold loosely the things of earth.
. The Lord uses small tools to perform large tasks.
. God always provides what He promises.
. The way of obedience is the way of blessing.
. Staying close to godly friends helps us to stay close to God.
. Are we living for our own pleasure, or living to please our heavenly Father?
. Leave your sorrows with Jesus, the “Man of Sorrows”.
Fear
Deuteronomy 5:29
Oh, that their hearts would be inclined to fear me and keep all my commands always, so that it might go well with them and their children forever!
Deuteronomy 6:2
so that you, your children and their children after them may fear the LORD your God as long as you live by keeping all his decrees and commands that I give you, and so that you may enjoy long life.
