“Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.”
Psalms 119:105 NIV
All the words of God are a lamp by which my feet can walk by, not just some or those I prefer, ignoring the difficult ones. Injustices happen when we ignore the difficult ones, playing preference to our carnal natures, and justifying them because they delight us.
Jesus said, “where your treasure is there your heart is also”(Matt 6:21). What are our treasures? What do we delight in? What place does food take in our lives, our appetities for good or tasty foods? What do our pastimes show of our hearts? Do we justify any of these and cause injustice to occur to another, more vulnerable person or group of people? Do the young or elderly suffer? Do the poor and underprivileged suffer?
What we boast about casually reveals our hearts. What are we boasting about? We may focus on our godly boasting but what about our fleshly boasting? Our fleshly boasting show others the truth about us. Are we aware? Or do we deceive ourselves?
Let the word of God, the total word of God rule. Amen!
