A LAMP AND LIGHT
As a parent, there have been times i have had to command my children to do something, sometimes they ask me "Mummy why?" and my response sometimes is "Because mummy said so!" :) And there have been times i had to stop everything am doing and seize an opportunity to teach them an important life lesson. In other words,there are command moments and there are teaching moments, this is the same with the word of God, there are instructional commands and there are in-depth teachings.
God's commandments restrict and guard and His teaching enlightens.The bible says in
Psalm 119 vs 105: "Your word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path".
God's word contains His commands and teachings, His command is the lamp bound to our feet to guard us from going astray while His teaching sheds light to our path. God's Word,(His commands and teachings) will lead us on the right path.
His commands restricts, His teaching enlightens.
Proverbs 6 vs 20-23: "My son, keep your father's command and do not forsake your mother's teaching.
Bind them always on your neck, when you walk, they will guide you, when you sleep, they will watch over you, when you wake, they will speak to you. For this command is a lamp and this teaching is a light."
The word of God lights our path and directs us on where to go. Are you confused about a situation? Do you need direction about a matter? Pay close attention to God's word; His commands and teachings and you will see your path light up.
Yours in the Walk...
