Your statutes are wonderful;
therefore I obey them.
The unfolding of your words gives light;
it gives understanding to the simple.
These verses today are a reminder that God is good, just and fair. His statutes are not harsh or hard to follow; indeed as the psalmist’s reminds us, they are wonderful, because if we follow them we will be living life to the full and the way that God intends us to. People are sometimes put off from reading the Bible because they have the wrong perception about what it says, or that they think it will be too difficult.
However, read under the direction and guidance of the Holy Spirit, the truth can bring us light and wisdom. That’s why it’s important that we take the time to read it, and encourage others to do the same. It is indeed a light to our path.
Dear Lord,
Thank you for the truth, wisdom and light that is found in your word. It is really wonderful and brings us life. Amen.
