The commandments of the Lord are right, bringing joy to the heart. The commands of the Lord are clear, giving insight for living. Psalm 20:8(NLT)
A poem and essay by ILMA
The Lord’s commands are right
They bring joy to the heart
The word of God breaks all confusion
When you seek it, you will have a revelation.
The commandments are clear
It drives all conflicts and fear
They guide us and give insight for living
It helps us from wondering and wandering.
Have you ever travelled to a new place without a map or a tourist guide? Can you imagine how lost you would be and how much time can be wasted wandering around and figuring out which way to go? Travel agencies help you make your vacation trips more enjoyable and less chaotic. With access to internet, you can now plan your holiday outings from other people’s experience of the places and how they rate it. To enjoy our trips we need to have a plan. It is the same in life. Without preparation and guidelines, we can’t enjoy life and have peace.
The bible says that the commandments of God are right and clear. It brings joy to us and insight for living. Without God’s truth, we will be wandering or even be lost. We need a map.
PRAYER
Lord, help me to follow your commands.
REFLECTION
How do you avail of the guidelines that God gave you?
