Theme: God's Word is A Light in Our Lives- Our Whole Life Long
Scripture: Psalm 119:105-112
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. (NIV)
By
your words I can see where I'm going; they throw a beam of light on
my dark path. I've committed myself and I'll never turn back from
living by your righteous order. Everything's falling apart on me,
God; put me together again with your Word. Festoon me with your
finest sayings, God; teach me your holy rules. My life is as close as
my own hands, but I don't forget what you have revealed. The wicked
do their best to throw me off track, but I don't swerve an inch from
your course. I inherited your book on living; it's mine forever—
what a gift! And how happy it makes me! I concentrate on doing
exactly what you say— I always have and always will. (The Message)
