TODAY’S WORD…

.

Keep me from deceitful ways;
be gracious to me and teach me Your law.
I have chosen the way of faithfulness;
I have set my heart on Your laws.

.

– Psalm 119:29-30 (NIV)

REFLECTION…

.

It is when we embrace Jesus’ teachings and walk in His way,

that we can experience His gracious and redeeming love.

.

The Spirit helps us recognise the deceitful ways of the world,

and as we repent and melt in sorrow for our sin,

we pour out our soul before God

and express our growing desire to learn more from Him and about Him,

and resolve to only follow His Way.

.

Those who know and love the Law of the Lord,

grow in their realisation that being faithful to Him

is the only Way to true happiness.

.

Those who know and love the Law of the Lord

yearn to know more about it;

to be true to it;

to love it better

…and God, by His Spirit, will give wisdom

and enlarge the hearts of His people,

who will then have the strength to press forward.

REPETITIVE PRAYER FOR TODAY…

.

Lord, I do not want to hurt You any more than I already have – I have chosen to be faithful.

Forgive me, Lord, and never stop teaching me Your ways.
