Strong Boundaries
Direct my footsteps according to your word; let no sin rule over me.—Psalm 119:133 (NIV)
Thy word have I hid in mine heart that I might not sin against Thee.—Psalm 119:11 (KJV)
THE PSALMIST WHO wrote the verse above believes the best place to keep God’s word is deep in the heart. In other words, know His instructions and memorize them so they are readily at hand, available to draw on when guidance is needed. Hide His word in your heart and you’ll need no other security.
Lord, help me infuse Your word into my life.
Direct my footsteps according to your word; let no sin rule over me.—Psalm 119:133 (NIV)
God, your God, will restore everything you lost; He’ll have compassion on you; He’ll come back and pick up the pieces from all the places where you were scattered.—Deuteronomy 30:3 (MSG)
Then God said, “Yes, but your wife Sarah will bear you a son, and you will call him Isaac. I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his descendants after him.”—Genesis 17:19 (NIV)
