GRACE FOR DIRECTION
Psalm 119: 105-112
God’s word literally directs us in our everyday work and life. His word is the manual we require to navigate the hard terrain called life, and a dark place indeed the world would be without the word. What keeps the lamp burning is the oil of the spirit of God. This needs to be continually refreshed, as a light to direct us in the choice of our way, and the steps we take in that way. Aside from the lamp directing us. The lamp also helps us discover more about God and ourselves, that which otherwise we could not have known; it shows us what is amiss, and could be potentially dangerous; it directs us in our work and way; ensuring we stay on the right path and right course.
Keeping God’s commands is equally as important. Keeping His word ensures sin has no space to thrive in our lives as light and darkness cannot be in the same place. David was often afflicted; but with longing desires to become more holy, he offered up daily prayers for quickening grace. He was quick to realize that grace was very important if he would have a chance to make it through life especially with all that surrounded him. God’s grace makes up for our inabilities and shortcomings, and His grace is freely given; all God expects of us is we humbly approach his throne room and ask for grace.
PRAYER: I cast all my cares and burdens on you, I lay my burdens at your feet, and I embrace your grace to lead and direct me along the way.
