Pastor’s Bible Reading Schedule:
Psalm 119:73-176
Psalm 119:105-112
105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
106 I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments.
107 I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O LORD, according unto thy word.
108 Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me thy judgments.
109 My soul is continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law.
110 The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from thy precepts.
111 Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart.
112 I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statutes alway, even unto the end.
God has made it very clear in the Bible that His word is the secret to godly living. It is the word of God that is a lamp unto our feet. In other words, it tells us where we are. It is the word of God that is a mirror to reflect what our spiritual life is like and how much like Jesus Christ we look. However, it is the word of God that tells us our next step. Pastor Rob’s testimony in following the will of God, was to simply do the next right thing. It is the word of God that tells us right from wrong, and it is the Spirit of God that takes the word of God in order for us to know the will of God. The will of God is simply doing the things that we know the Bible teaches us to do, and then to follow what God has revealed.
Our flesh, the Devil and the world around us are constantly striving to get us off track spiritually. They offer alternative options to the plan of God and deceitfully make them seem interesting, tempting, and attractive. However, it is the word of God that exposes them. It is the word of God that provides the path of wisdom. Therefore, David said, “I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statues always, even unto the end.” May that be our testimony as well.
