Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path -- Psalms 119:105

This scripture is pretty straight forward and becomes more clear to the reader as he/she studies the word of God more.

We will never go wrong following in the footsteps of Jesus. At one time or another, each of us have walked off on our own; walking down the road and into situations that we would not have if our focus were straight.

As children of God we are expected to follow the statues and commandments given us. But, we have all taken a turn or two and walked down different roads and avenues in our lives. But God is longsuffering and merciful. He will forgive us if we ask. But we have to ask.

He knew us before we were formed in our mothers’ womb, yet he still loved us! There has never been anything that we have done or said that surprised or caught Him off guard. There have always been another route that we could have taken, an out so to speak.

We can all turn around and walk the other way. WE never have to walk alone. He promised to never leave nor forsake us. He is our shield and our buckler, and His love for us never ceases.

His word will never lead us astray.

God bless,

Pamyla

What a wonderful God we have--he is the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the source of every mercy, and the one who so wonderfully comforts and strenghtens us in our hardships and trials. And why does he do this? So that when others are troubled, needing our sympathy and encouragement, we can pass on to them this same help and comfort God has given us.-- II Corinthians 1:3-4 TLB

Two weeks ago I dislocated and broke my ankle. I was at a neighbor's house and without panic she immediately took off my shoe, got an ice pack and wrapped my ankle. She then got me into the hospital. When I looked down, my foot was laying over to the right of my leg, and reminded me of something from a horror movie.

God is so good! We were in and out in 4 hours and then He had a wonderful couple from my church who offered to take me in. I stayed in their home for a week. What a blessing! Although I had to spend most of my time in bed with my leg raised it was such a beautiful week. I was with people who loved me and who I loved. I ate well, laughed hard, studied a lot and experienced many close and tender moments with the Lord.

I now know how to help a person who does not have anyone to see after them. What a blessing we can be to others if we only say YES! When we bless others we begin to see awesome things happening in our lives as well. The favor of God begins to run ahead and overtake us in all areas of our lives. God always gives us opportunities to say YES to a new blessing.

When was the last time you said yes? Are there things that you have been earnestly seeking the Lord about? Have you wondered why He has not answered yet? Let's purpose in our hearts to be used by Him to bless others. The Lord will not ask us to do anything we are not able to do. Lord, not my will, but Thy will be done in my life. Let's all say YES!

God Bless,

Pamyla
