“Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD! Blessed are those who keep His testimonies, who seek Him with the whole heart!” Psalm 119:1-2 (Read Psalm 119:1-8)
People think that blessing and happiness comes from choosing their own path in life and seeking their own desires and goals. However, God’s Word tells us something entirely different. It tells us that “there is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death” (Proverbs 14:12). It tells us that true blessing comes with walking in accord with the Word of God. It comes to those who hear and keep God’s Word and seek the LORD God with their whole heart.
God’s Word calls upon us to turn from our own sinful ways to Him. He promises us mercy and forgiveness in the shed blood of His Son Jesus Christ. And, through His Word, He will lead and guide us “in the way everlasting” (Psalm 139:24).
O LORD God, forgive me for turning aside and going my own way in life. Wash away my sins in the holy and precious blood of Jesus Christ, Your Son. By Your Spirit, draw me into Your Word and lead and guide me in the way everlasting! Amen.
