Are we lost today-- looking for direction?

Do we have a decision to make, but aren't sure how to make it?

Have two roads diverged in a wood...and we haven't the faintest idea which to travel?

Where do we go...  And who do we ask when we need someone to shed light on one of our life-subjects?

Family?  Friends?  Counselors?  Horoscopes?  The flip of a coin?  A.I.?

How about the Bible?

Can we consider God's word in our ear to tell us which way to turn today? 

Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.”  ~Isaiah 30:21

The unfolding of your words gives light...  -Psalm 119:130

I love this wording: The unfolding of your words gives light.

The unfolding part is true (and descriptive): we cannot just skim the Bible and expect effect.  We must unfold God's words.  Read them.  Open them up.  Open ourselves up to them.  We must chew on God's Word like a cow chews cud.  Over and over.  Ruminate on it.  Soak it in and soak it up.  We must meditate on the Bible and God's words to us in it.

The unfolding of your words gives light...  -Psalm 119:130

And watch what happens.  Experience what happens when we unfold God's words.  The lights come on.

The unfolding of your words gives light...  -Psalm 119:130

As we unfold the Bible and read it with purpose, God turns on the lights in our dark places.  He gives us direction for today.  

For today.  

(In my experience), there's not usually a Scriptural-spotlight illuminating our journey and what the outcome will be.   The unfolding of your words gives light... (Psalm 119:130), and that light is usually just enough light for the next step.  

And then...we keep reading and praying and unfolding God's words for the next step.

God's word gives us light.

Unfold God's words today.  Open the Bible today.  Not a Bible app, or video of a pastor preaching, or a recording or reading of someone else's Bible experience.  

You + God's words = light.
Me + God's words = light.

Let's get a real Bible and hold it in our hands.  Let's unfold God's words into our lives.  He will give light to us through it.

Are we lost?  
The unfolding of your words gives light...  -Psalm 119:130

Do we have a decision to make but aren't sure how to make it?
The unfolding of your words gives light...  -Psalm 119:130

Have two roads diverged in a wood...and we haven't the faintest idea which to travel?
The unfolding of your words gives light...  -Psalm 119:130

Unfold God's words to receive light for our path today.

It’s never too late to turn to the Lord.   And--it’s never too late to turn back to the Lord.   Do we GET IT?   King Hezekiah GOT IT.   The people in his area (Israel) had not been following the Lord, and they had fallen away from the (God-ordained) traditions that the Lord had designed to connect His people with Himself,  like going to church (Temple), and like celebrating the festival of Passover.  So they sent a proclamation throughout all Israel...inviting everyone to come to Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover of the  Lord , the God of Israel. The people had not been celebrating it in great numbers as required in the Law ( 2 Chronicles 30:5). Hezekiah  invited the people back to church!  But how to get the word out? He  wrote letters of invitation to the people (2 Chronicles 30:1), but letters without delivery are dead messages.  Hezekiah needed to get the letters ... to God's people! At the king’s command, runners were...

Ever been around boys (of any age)?  They don't concern themselves with talking about   other  boys...they are not (usually) comparative that way, and would prefer to be competitive instead.  They are often contented with jokes and sounds, rather than defaming other guys or discussing their shortfalls. But...ever been around women ( of any age )?  For some sinful reason, our conversations often seem to p ick-a-little, talk-a-little, pick some more and talk, talk, talk about other women.  We  simmer into a boil as we digress and regress into unbecoming chatter about   other  women.   It's a terrible habit and yet girls in elementary school don't need to be taught how and even elderly church biddies can't quite fully withdraw.  We all still fall to condemning others  from time to time.  We have this sinful draw to make ourselves feel good by chirping back and forth and making someone   else   feel bad. It's na...

The earth is the   Lord ’s, and everything in it.   The world and all its people belong to him.   (2)  For he laid the earth’s foundation on the seas  and built it on the ocean depths.   ~Psalm 24:1-2 We belong to Him, but also…our world belongs to Him: and  everything in it .   Everything.   Every tree and flower, every person, every pelican, everything. How are we responding to that glorious Truth today?   Can we praise Him today?  Can we acknowledge and absorb (and respond!) to the awesome Truth that we belong to Him :  the Creator of all things, and our Creator?   He laid the earth’s foundation ...and (even)  the earth  knows that it belongs to him ... Do we? Are we choosing to respond to Him today?   The trees do.    Looking out my window as I read these words of God, I saw these words  proven by God as n aked tree-branch arms were raised in praise of their Creat...
