“I will never forget your precepts, for by them you have preserved my life.”  Psalm 119:93

Thoughts on today’s verse

Much like the rules parents have for young children — don’t drink what’s under the cabinet, don’t play in the street, don’t walk behind parked cars — God’s guidance is not intended to restrict us, but to protect us. His commands, both positive and negative, are for our protection and perfection. By them we find life and have it preserved.

Prayer:

Holy Lord, help me see your words as life. I know you have given your commands, your will for holiness, to bless me and protect me. Use your Spirit to make my heart less stubborn and my life more nearly conformed to your will. Through Jesus’ power I ask it. Amen.
