“Oh,
how I love Your law! It is my meditation all the day. You, through
Your commandments, make me wiser than my enemies; for they are ever with
me.” Psalm
119:97-98
“Let
there be light!” “Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my
path.”
It
is the Word of the Lord, not the “adjustments” we’ve made through generations
of traditions and new traditions, which gives us the True Light. So many
popular sayings are twisted to the point of being very nearly removed
altogether from what the True Word teaches us. Let us not fall for the
worst of all: “The Bible means different things to different people”.
This may be true in the minds of humans but it cannot be true in the souls of
the faithful, for it is as Moses declared to the people of Israel: “Hear,
O Israel; the Lord our God, the Lord is ONE!” The Almighty
therefore cannot be one thing to “him” and yet another to “her”. He is
One eternally.
This
is the greatest source of comfort we can embrace for ourselves especially in a
world that tries to pull us first in one direction and then in another.
The people of faith have a firm and eternal foundation, unshakable from the
very foundation of time itself! We must therefore dwell in the Word,
abide in the Word, and revel in the Word! It is not a “law” that keeps us
from a good life; it is the Word that leads us into Life Everlasting!
Have
a grace-filled day of blessings and peace!
Michael
