When we look around in awe at the beauty and majesty of the universe, we cannot help but be struck by God's power and planning that put it all together. God not only created all the universe, God also laid down laws that guide the workings of the universe. Upon these laws God has laid the foundation of the universe. God has also wonderfully and intricately created each of us, and God has laid out laws of living that are the foundation of life and a guide for a fruitful and fulfilled life. In Psalm 119 the psalmist goes through the entire Hebrew alphabet and reflects on each letter of the alphabet as a guide on the foundations of life that God has laid down for a blessed and happy life. He begins with the very foundation of faith and life in the eternal commands of God. Only as our lives are guided by God's ways can we find true and lasting happiness. In the next few weeks we will take a bit of a hike along the pathways of God rediscovering the beauty of creation and the pathway to a happy life. Take a moment and reflect on following the path God has put before you, and ask God for guidance and power to live according to his will.
(Verse of the week)
Blessed are they whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the law of the LORD.
Blessed are they who keep his statutes and seek him with all their heart.
They do nothing wrong; they walk in his ways.
You have laid down precepts that are to be fully obeyed.
Oh, that my ways were steadfast in obeying your decrees!
Then I would not be put to shame when I consider all your commands.
I will praise you with an upright heart as I learn your righteous laws.
(Psalm 119.1-7 selections)
(Prayer of the week)
Heavenly Father, help me to follow your will and built my life on your eternal foundations. Forgive me for the times I have wandered away from the path of life, and help me to rediscover your plan and purpose for my life. Fill me with your grace and love and make me a blessing to others, through your power and to your glory. Amen.
