Daily Prayer - The unfolding of Your words gives light

Good Friday morning, my friends.
 
This morning I was reading Psalm 119.  This Psalm is a celebration of God's word, His laws, and His commandments.  According to the psalmist he Law is never considered a curse, it is always seen as a gift from God.  He declares "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path"  (Psalm 119:104).
 
Find time to open your Bible and read a chapter or two today.  Let Him feed your soul.  Let Him give you light.
 

Grace and peace be yours in abundance,
Bruce 
 
 
Your statutes are wonderful;
    therefore I obey them.
 
The unfolding of your words gives light;
    it gives understanding to the simple.
 
I open my mouth and pant,
    longing for your commands.
 
Turn to me and have mercy on me,
    as you always do to those who love your name.
 
Direct my footsteps according to your word;
    let no sin rule over me.
 
Redeem me from human oppression,
    that I may obey your precepts.
 
Make your face shine on your servant
    and teach me your decrees.
 
Streams of tears flow from my eyes,
    for your law is not obeyed.
 
Psalm 119:129-136
