    Your Word Is a Lamp to My Feet

    9  How can a young man keep his way pure?

    By guarding it according to your word.

     

    Some versions of the Psalm ask:

    How can a young man cleanse his way?

    Do you recognize sin for the filth of the dust it is?

    Do you need bathed in the righteousness of Christ Jesus?

    I do.

    10 With my whole heart I seek you;
    let me not wander from your commandments!

    The Prophet Jeremiah warns [17:5 ESV & 17:9 KJV]:

    Thus says the LORD:
    “Cursed is the man who trusts in man
    and makes flesh his strength,
    whose heart turns away from the LORD.

    The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

    11 I have stored up your word in my heart,
    that I might not sin against you.
    12 Blessed are you, O Lord;
    teach me your statutes!
    13 With my lips I declare
    all the rules of your mouth.
    14 In the way of your testimonies I delight
    as much as in all riches.
    15 I will meditate on your precepts
    and fix my eyes on your ways.

    The King James Version translates:

    15 I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways.

    Do you actually consider God’s ways over your own misguided ways?

    Do you have so much respect for God and the Cross of Christ that you focus on the Way of our Lord Christ Jesus? He IS the Word and the Light of the Way of our Salvation.

    16 I will delight in your statutes;
    I will not forget your word.

     

  • Aleph

    Aleph

    Psalm 119
    English Standard Version (ESV)
    Your Word Is a Lamp to My Feet

    NOTE: This psalm is an acrostic poem of twenty-two stanzas, following the letters of the Hebrew alphabet; within a stanza, each verse begins with the same Hebrew letter.

    אָשַׁר –

    from the root: אָשַׁר – a verb meaning to go straight, walk, go on, advance, make progress

    Aleph

    119  Blessed are those whose way is blameless,
    who walk in the law of the Lord!
    2 Blessed are those who keep his testimonies,
    who seek him with their whole heart,
    3 who also do no wrong,
    but walk in his ways!
    4 You have commanded your precepts
    to be kept diligently.
    5 Oh that my ways may be steadfast
    in keeping your statutes!
    6 Then I shall not be put to shame,
    having my eyes fixed on all your commandments.
    7 I will praise you with an upright heart,
    when I learn your righteous rules.
    8 I will keep your statutes;
    do not utterly forsake me!

    • Is your way blameless? Do you walk with integrity?

    My way has not always been blameless. I have sometimes wandered from the narrow way of Christ Jesus and had no resemblance to our Lord.

    Matthew 7:13-14  “Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.

    I’ve  broken His Law in my heart and transgressed the Commandment of His will.

    “Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

    The testimony of my life, my marriage and my work is NOT the witness of a Christian, though I seek Christ Jesus with my whole heart.  I do what I do not want to do and do not do what the Lord wants me to do (like Paul {Romans 7:15}).

    I am shamed by what I am and what I have done, even in the house of the Lord!

    I praise you, Lord Jesus.

    Do not utterly forsake me (as many whom I love in your Name have forgotten your servant and reject Your love through my heart with trepidation and unforgiveness).

     

  • Out of the depths

    Out of the depths

     

    Psalm 130

    English Standard Version (ESV)

    My Soul Waits for the Lord

    A Song of Ascents.

    Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord!
    2     O Lord, hear my voice!
    Let your ears be attentive
    to the voice of my pleas for mercy!

    3 If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities,
    O Lord, who could stand?
    4 But with you there is forgiveness,
    that you may be feared.

    5 I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,
    and in his word I hope;
    6 my soul waits for the Lord
    more than watchmen for the morning,
    more than watchmen for the morning.

    He IS above the Highest of the Heavens

    In His mercy He has descended into Sheol.

    He IS near to the place where my heart sinks.

    He IS near to the brokenhearted.

    Hear our cry, O LORD, our rock and our Redeemer.
