God’s Word Restores

The unfolding of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple.
Psalms 119:130 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.119.130.NASB1995

For the commandment is a lamp and the teaching is light; And reproofs for discipline are the way of life
Proverbs 6:23 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/pro.6.23.NASB1995

Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.
Psalms 119:105 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.119.105.NASB1995

God’s word gives light to those who read and follow it.
God’s word gives understanding to the simple.
God’s word disciplines so we can walk the way of life God wants for us.
God’s word is the light on the path of eternal life.

God’s Word is Better than…

How sweet are Your words (promises) to my taste (palate)! Yes, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
Psalms 119:103 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.119.103.NASB1995

The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the Lord are true; they are righteous altogether. They are more desirable than gold, yes, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb. Moreover, by them Your servant is warned; In keeping them there is great reward.
Psalms 19:9-11 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.19.9-11.NASB1995

My Portion

The Lord is my portion; I have promised to keep Your words.
Psalms 119:57 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.119.57.NASB1995

“Portion” is written in several different translations as:

The Lord is my inheritance, my choice, my share in life, my everything, all I want, mine.

With the Lord as our portion how can we not desire, promise, to keep His word? How can we keep His word unless we feast on His word daily? How can we know Him as our portion without His word?

🌹“The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I have hope in Him.” The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, To the person who seeks Him.

Christianity: The Easy Life?

Now, therefore, it was not you who sent me here, but God; and He has made me a father to Pharaoh and lord of all his household and ruler over all the land of Egypt. Genesis 45:8 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/gen.45.8.NASB1995

Joseph, the son of Jacob, speaking with his brothers, years after they had sold him into slavery.

Living for Jesus is not easy, but we are right where God plans for us to be for His purpose and plan. With this perspective we seek to accomplish God’s plan despite our circumstances. Consider it a privilege instead of grumbling and complaining. Seek His face continually!

And His disciples asked Him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he would be born blind?” Jesus answered, “It was neither that this man sinned, nor his parents; but it was so that the works of God might be displayed in him.
John 9:2-3 NASB1995

Grace-o-meter

Then falling on his knees, he cried out with a loud voice, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them!” Having said this, he fell asleep.
Acts 7:60 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/act.7.60.NASB1995

What is your grace-o-meter?
Are we as gracious to our persecutors, or the unsaved of this world, as Stephen was? What about other Christians?

Do I show as much grace to others as Jesus shows to me?
