“Thy word is a lamp unto me feet
 And a light to my path.”  Psalm 119:105

It is the Believer’s desire to know God’s word and to walk in the light of His word.  Let’s see how Scripture leads us in this marvelous gift that lights our  path as God lights our way.

The Apostle James tells us,
“Every good and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no shadow of turning.”  James 1:17

We thank you and adore You LORD for every blessing You bestow on us, especially those that cause us to know You more and more.  The LORD speaking in Jeremiah 17:10,
“I, the LORD, search the heart,
 I test the mind (most secret parts),
 Even to give every man according to his ways,
 And according to the fruit of his doing."

So we pray with King David,
“Search me, O God and know my heart;
 Try me, and know my anxious thoughts;
 And see if there is any wicked way in me,
 And lead me in the everlasting way.”  Psalm 139:23-24  

And as Ephesians 4:23-24 says,
“And be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in righteousness and true holiness.”  

2 Peter 1:3-4 tells of what has been granted to us,
“His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us to his own glory and excellence, by which He has granted us His precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desires.”
And 1 Peter 1:16,
“because it is written, ‘Be holy, for I am holy.’” 
Philippians 2:5-8 tells us,
“Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,
 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God,
 but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a servant, and 
 coming in the likeness of men.
 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became
 obedient to the point of death, even death of the death of the cross.”

Our attitude is to die to self so that we can humbly serve others.  1 John 2:6
tells us,
“He who says he abides in Him (Christ Jesus) ought himself also to walk 
 just as He walked.”

 We see in Titus 2:11-14 the grace of God to all people:
“For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men,
 teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live
 soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age,
 looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and
 Savior Jesus Christ,
 who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed 
 and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works.”

When a scribe asked Jesus in Mark 12 which was the first commandment of all, 
“Jesus answered him, ‘The first of all the commandments is “Hear, O Israel,
 The LORD our God, the LORD is one.
 And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your 
 soul, with all your mind, and with all strength.”  This is the first 
 commandment.
 And the second, like it, is this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 
 ‘There is no other commandment greater then these.’” Vs. 29-31

So let us heed God’s word, looking to Romans 12:1-2.
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”  

Thank you for Your word that lights our path most holy God.
Amen
