Order our steps in THY word!

Psa 119:113 I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love.

Psa 119:124 Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy, and teach me thy statutes.
Psa 119:125 I am thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies.

sa 119:126 It is time for thee, LORD, to work: for they have made void thy law.
Psa 119:127 Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold.

Psa 119:130 The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.

Psa 119:132 Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name.
Psa 119:133 Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.

Psa 119:151 Thou art near, O LORD; and all thy commandments are truth.


The entrance of God's words give light.
The entrance of God's words give understanding.

When we read of light in the Bible it often does refer to gaining understanding. We need to desire light over darkness. We need to comprehend the truth. We can be told the truth all day long and lack understanding. Without comprehension of what we read we might as well be reading drivel, truthfully. People can pat themselves on the backs all day long if they want to because they read their Bible, but if they do not comprehend the truth in God's words what does it matter? We can recite the Bible over and over and yet if we don't find the love of the truth in the word of God what good does it do us? Seriously, without comprehension we could read the whole Bible a million times and it will mean nothing. God's love is in the Bible, His pure love, His amazing love.

David longs for understanding and knows that the ENTRANCE of God's words give us light, give us understanding. The entrance-

Let's look up the meaning of this word- entrance.

Disclosure- Opening- Unfolding- Doorway.

The disclosure of God's words.
The opening of God's words.
The unfolding of God's words.
The doorway of God's words.

The entrance of God's words.

We need the disclosure of God's words.
We need the opening of God's words.
We need the unfolding of God's words.
We need the doorway of God's words.

We NEED to understand God's words.

With that understanding comes the knowledge of God's Love.

David LOVES God's law.
David LOVES God's words.
David VALUES God's words more than GOLD!

Do we value God's words more than money?
Do we value God's words more than our possessions?

How important is God's Word to us?! How important is the comprehension of God's words to us? Do we feel as if a day should NOT go by without delving in to the amazing word of God available to readily to us? Do we TREASURE the words of God we do read? Do the words of God give us a heart understanding, a deeper, deeper love of God?

These are questions we need to ask ourselves. These are important words.

By the grace of God may we find this amazing LOVE. We are so incredibly blessed to have access to the love of God found in His words.

Psa 119:132 Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name.
Psa 119:133 Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.
Psa 119:151 Thou art near, O LORD; and all thy commandments are truth.


We like David must pray- Look up on us, be merciful to us as you were to those that LOVE THY NAME!

ORDER our steps in THY WORD!

Order our steps! We need to have the blessing of God - having HIM ORDER our steps! Having HIM guide our way, our LIVES. We need GOD to help us, to NOT let ANY sin have dominion over us! This is through GOD, it must be through God and we need to realize it IS by God. ALL glory, praise and honor to GOD!

Please God, please be NEAR to us LORD.
ALL THY COMMANDMENTS ARE TRUTH!

Psa 119:11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

We have to HIDE these words in our hearts and when God is in our hearts, when God is ordering our steps, when sin is not having dominion over us we are in God's love, His pure, pure love, in His truth!

Please Lord please….

In Your love!

Amen.
