God’s word being a lamp to our feet and a light to our path (v105), is a famous and very encouraging verse. The Lord doesn’t leave us blind, but He gives direction in life through His word. The challenge is if we’re willing to study, apply that word from the Lord. The Psalmist has taken an oath to follow God’s word (v106). We need a similar determination.

God’s Word though is more than a guide, it is also the means through which the Lord brings life to His people (v107). In his time of affliction, the Psalmist looks for the Lord to come and bless through His word.

The Psalmist is devoted to the Lord and as he worships, longs to be guided more in God’s truth (v108). His life seems to be in a precarious situation (v109-110), but he is determined no matter what, to remain faithful to God’s commands. Why such a determination?

The Psalmist realises the union of God’s word with the God and that is how he finds such joy in God’s truth and will not be deflected from them (v11-112). Here is a great challenge about our devotion to God’s word.
