A Lamp to my Feet

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.
                                           Psalm 119:95 NIV

Psalm 119 is a Psalm of praise to God.  As one reads the Psalm, one notes the characters of the Hebrew alphabet from "Aleph" to "Taw".  In a very real sense, this Psalm is giving praise to God from A to Z.  God has done it all for us throughout history and He perfected His work with the Life of Jesus Christ.

One can consider what happens when God's will is placed first, consider Pentecost when God's Spirit was outpoured.  There was such complete unity that one could hear and understand anthers language without the aid of a human interpreter.

Also one can consider what has happened in the Old Testament when man follows man's will to ignore God's will.  Sin, death, confusion, disunity and failure result.  In Genesis, when Adam and Eve disregarded God's will and ate the apple, disunity resulted.  Also in Genesis, in the tower of Babel account, man disregarded God's will and language confusion resulted.

One can consider Moses and his seeking God's will through prayer and by that prayer, saved the Israelites from God's wrath.  Remember when Moses was faced with challenges, "...he fell facedown," Immediately.

Through prayer, time in scripture, worship attendance and other studies, one can, with the Spirit's help, seek God's will, guidance and wisdom. 

Let God, through His word, prayer, and Spirit's work be that lamp to your feet and light to your path.

How and when do you pray?

Pray that prayer is a growing part of your ministry.

In Christ,

David P
