God’s sweet Word: Light for our path.

Psalms‬ ‭119:103-105

“How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth! I gain understanding from your precepts; therefore I hate every wrong path. Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭119:103-105‬ ‭NIV‬‬

The Word of the Lord is nourishment for the soul, comfort of the heart, help for the afflicted, and shelter from the storms of life. The Word of God guides and instructs, it corrects and teaches, and the inspired writings of Scripture become, to the believer, sweeter than the honey that drips from a honeycomb and more to be desired than much fine silver and gold. A healthy fear of God will hold us in awe and do much to deter us from sin. When we have a proper fear of the living Lord, we live a cleaner life. Any born again person who sins willfully has momentarily blocked out any fear of God. You and I can do that. When we actively engage in sin, we consciously put aside what we know to be the truth about God. We deliberately suppress the knowledge of Him in our hearts and minds. We lie to ourselves by saying, We'll get by. God won't mind so much. But when we come into understanding, and God's light breaks into our lives like the pure whitewater of a rushing river, we learn to thoroughly hate and dread those actions that will plunge us again into darkness. The psalmist expressed that thought with these words “How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth. I gain understanding from your precepts; therefore I hate every wrong path. Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path" The bible wasn’t just written for fun but it is our manual here on earth. The Word of God directs you, guides you, informs you on the right things to do, the Word of God gives you insight on who God really is and the Word of God exposes you to the mind of Christ. When you sit to study the bible, it means your mind, body and spirit are willing to learn. The more you read the bible the more your spirit will be strengthened and the more you read the bible the more you will be willing to pray. May we today taste and see that the Lord is good and wholesome and sweeter than honey to those that believe. May we find the daily nourishment for our soul in the sweet person of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ!!!
