oh well...i was just praying...u noe...each day we carry our cross and crucify ourselves...tht we renouce our sins....i realli thank God for his grace...tht truly...even as we sin and grieve the spirit...it comes back as soon as we repent and ask for forgiveness....but i tink tht such a grace shud not be taken for granted...i think tht each day...we should not just read the word...but we must remember it as well...i just got a glimpse of how important the word is to our lives....n y we should never neglect it....

when i was praying....the presence came back to me....its just occurred to me....tht life is a path of rigtheousness....i see in as a path tht has been clearly marked out for us...its like a walkway in the forest...wouldnt sticking to the walkway be great? but many of us do not do tht....usually....we are unsatisfied with just walking along tht path...we want adventure....many things tempt us from the sides...sometimes...God even puts a fence with a sign saying 'DANGER' but we refuse to heed such warnings....we noe tht humans having little knowledge of the forest often get lost....the things tht we are attracted to...such as the flowers and the fruits....they contain deadly poison....yet we still stray...knowing tht can happen to us...so we should read the word....we should knows Gods law and commandments....the bible tells us to follow his laws and commandments...his word is wad will stop us from straying off the path....

we noe tht the devil comes like a prowling lion...waiting to get us....even while we on the path...we never noe when he will pounce n try to hurt us...i tink tht we should realli read the word and know the word...cus the word is like a double edged sword....by reading the word...we r edified in faith to put on the armour of God...edified in spirit....we can den slay the lions tht attack us....the bible tells us to prepare ourselves and be alert so we will not falter...

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
-1 Peter 5:8-

a path of rigtheousness is not an easy one...like i said....it is a long and windy path....we may not know what lies ahead...it could be a pit of spikes or a fallen log....how many of us would prefer the path without obstacles? i m sure thts like nearly everyone....but we noe tht the path to righteousness is not one without obstacles....we all know tht for a pot to be perfect...it has to be well shaped and strongly heated if not cracks would appear....obstacles seek to strength us....the path is long...tiredness can also get to us....sometimes we are tired and 'sian' of doing it...but let us noe tht as Psalms 18:2 says...the Lord is our strength...he is the horn of our salvation...

He restores my soul;He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name's sake
-Psalms 23:3-

let us think of our destination as the promise land...one flowing with milk and honey...let us walk throught this valley of the shadow of death and fear no evil...let us fulfil our purpose....our father in heaven in one of love and goodness....he seeks to mould us in his image to fulfil his purpose....let us look to him and remember his word today!

In the way of righteousness is life, And in its pathway there is no death.
-Prov 12:28-

His word is our guide.
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.
-Psalm 119:105-

So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

My soul melts from heaviness; Strengthen me according to Your word.
-Psalm 119:28-

His word is our protection.
Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.
-Prov 30:5-

His word is truth and the truth will set us free!
In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,
-Eph 1:13-

"And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
-John 8:32-

His word is a promise made to us.
My covenant I will not break,Nor alter the word that has gone out of My lips.
