Peaceful Completeness

Yesterday we looked Psalm 76 and talked about this “place”. As I was thinking about this today it occurred to me that the sabbath is supposed to be this. It is a place of rest and reflection. We are encouraged by God over and over again in the scriptures to follow His commandments. It is as if that is a path or passage way of some sort. In Psalm 112 we see that God gives us light in the darkness, that He makes us to have riches, and establishes our households. We only need keep His commands. In verse four it says there arises light for the upright in the darkness. I believe this means that when we stumble, God knows our heart, and raise up light for us to find our way back to the path. In verse seven it says we will not be afraid of evil tidings, that our heart will remain steadfast on God. To whom are these promises made?

In verse one it says these promises are made to the one that delights in the commands of God. It is one of my deepest prayers that this can be all of us.

Prayer
Father, we praise and thank You for being God. We ask that You reach out to everyone, to reveal the blessing of Your commandments, and to cause us all to draw closer to Jesus. In Jesus name. Amen.
