Title: A Pilgrim Song Of Solomon.

Scriptures: Psalm 127:1 - 5

God’s Message/Promise/Commands:

What an amazing day today is!  I started out getting ready for my devotional time with the Lord and I got this wonderful message about Him as the builder and about Him enjoying giving me rest!  Wow, what a wonderful thought.  And then, I saw an email from my boss.  Well, I rarely get an email from him so when I do, I know it's something important.  To give a little background, I was task by him to manage an FB page.  I love the page because it's about positivity and happiness and I have been doing well with it.  Until last April, my boss decided to stop the Punnky project, which means me stopping my posts in the FB Punnky page.  But I realized that no one is taking over the FB page and it already has a loyal audience who are looking forward to the posts each day, so despite of his instructions, I decided to continue posting after my shift, which means, I do not bill or charge him for the work I do in the Punnky page.  So today, I got an email from him asking  me to explain why I still have posts in the page.  I know this was something bad because even if I work on the page for free, I still disobeyed a direct instruction from my boss.  So i apologized and I was even thinking that this could be a ground for termination, you know being "insubordinate"...But Praise God, because He truly works in ways we cannot imagine and has always taken care of us in every situation we are in.  My boss replied to my email and instead of being angry for disobeying his instruction, he thank me for wanting to impact positivity and offered to continue working on the page.  I was speechless then I remember His words today... in Psalm 127, If God doesn't build the house, the builders only build shacks!  It's useless to rise early and go to bed late, and work your worried fingers to the bone (now I can relate to this so much especially that i use literally my fingers when I work on the computer) , then the sweetest words came after that in verse 2, the author said, "Don't you know He enjoys giving rest to those He loves?"  What an amazing God we have!  I mean, I can't help but get teary eyed.  Here I was feeling concern and even thinking that I might lose my job for disobeying an instruction from the boss of all bosses in my company.  But God gave me rest by assuring me that He is the builder of what I do.  He is my watchman, my builder; and whatever this hand produces or does, is blessed because of Him.  So I can rest in joy and peace in the truth that He is my builder, He is my watchman at all times!  Hallelujah!

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, precious King and glorious God!  I am in awe of Your every day miracle in my life.  I want to thank You for the sweetest moment with You today, when I was feeling worried and tense, You calmed me down and assured me that things will work out fine because You are my watchman and You are my builder.  I can rest in You.  Thank You Lord.  In Jesus' Name, Amen!

Title: A Song Of Ascents.

Scriptures: Psalm 126:1 - 6

God’s Message/Promise/Commands:

What an amazing promise and hope our words for today is.  Psalm 126 is filled with hope, as the writer spoke of what it was when God restored them back from their struggles.  Now, again this topic seems to be so fitting at this time.  Every day, when I logged in to Facebook, I can see so many posts about the different opinions and facts of natural marraiges vs same-sex marraige.  Well, It's a hot topic right now as the ruling just happened a few days ago.  But as I read into the posts, I can't help but see what the future will be if this continues.  It's just so messy and complicated.  One person speaks of his freedom of speech so he should be allowed to voice out his opinion and beliefs in natural marriage and his oposition with same-sex marriage.  The other will then speak out of discrimination and inequality for those who speaks out for the right to speech and beliefs.  I mean, reading through the posts, is giving me a headache.  Because there seems to be no neutral ground.  Either you are for or against a specific group.  And when this continues, then the division will be visible and it will just become wider, driving men away from each other and creating a huge barrier between them.  Now, if this is how things will be in the future, I won't be surprised when hate starts creeping in to the hearts of the people.  So as I try to see where we're heading to, with my own human/logical thinking, the only road I see is chaos and I can see our future like the ones I see in TV shows such as The walking dead, where people are hiding and trying to protect themselves from Zombies, but in our time, it will be us protecting and hiding and stealing, killing, fighting against ourselves.  This is really sad.  But today, God has brought things back to life as He showed me Psalm 126.  Here the author speaks of restoration and the joy of satisfaction when God restores His people.  All the nations will know that God restores us and we will be filled to our satisfaction.  Amazing!  So today, despite of the possible horrible future I see with my human eye, I want to look pass it and see the beauty of God's miracles of restorations in our land today.  This really puts a smile on my face, knowing that I can choose to see the life God restored, where my mouth is filled with laughter and my tongue with songs of joy.  This is the future I am longing for.  And yes, maybe, the future I see with my own eyes, may still happen, but I can be comforted and secured of the future that God revealed where He restored us back.  So whatever future there will be for us, I know that the future where God restored His people will come to pass and I long for that future to come!

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, thank You because You are truly a God of restoration.  Thank You because Your words are true and I can hold on to them and stand in faith on them and I will not be disappointed.  Lord thank You because Your words speak of restoration and I long for that day for the world I'm living it.  It is chaotic and messy and complicated and at times, my human  eye/mind, can't see any hope yet in a dark future, You give hope.  You give life.  So I hold on to that light You give Lord and I know that it will keep me going even in the darkest times of my life here on earth.  Thank You.  In Jesus' Name, Amen!

Title: A Pilgrim Song.

Scriptures: Psalm 125:1 - 5

God’s Message/Promise/Commands:

A few days ago, the world has made a terrible mistake and people are still taking in the new change that was ruled by last Friday (June 26).  Same-sex marriage...the hottest topic at the moment...until it becomes the past.  For now, people are still talking, debating, arguing, sharing their opinions...about the said ruling last Friday.  Some are very passionate and proud of what had been accomplished in the U.S., while others rant about the doom of the world because of this abomination.  We've heard a lot of things said about this but the truth remains, what happened last Friday, has to happen for a reason and a purpose.  It's a little weird or questionable to think that the legalization of same-sex marriage is part of God's plan.  In truth, I believe God didn't design it to be part of any of His plans yet He knew that this day would come and that's why He warned us all many times in His words.  Yet, when it happens, we're still caught off guard.  Anyway, the Bible did say that there are 2 signs before the coming of the Lord; 1) it will be the darkest of times and 2) the Gospel will be preached throughout the World.  With this new rule implemented last Friday, I can truly say that both signs will be seen manifesting really soon.  People has been given the license to sin with this new law...and man will definitely take advantage of that.  At the same time, the Christian community will be uprising because of this, which will then lead to the spreading of the Gospel.  So it's been concluded, we are in the last of the last days.  There's no running away from that truth.  Yet in this potentially chaotic times, I say potentially because the world may be a mess right now, it's not in its fullest chaotic state yet. The world is still in its journey to that time.  So, knowing that this is what's happening and will happen, what can we do?  What can we really know for sure?  Well, today's topic address that.  Psalm 125 speaks of those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever.  Because as the mountains surround Jerusalem, so is the Lord surrounding us now and forevermore.  This is our assurance!  Our comfort!  Knowing that despite of the darkest times or our journey towards it, because it is inevitable.  The world will go through this phase and will end up at its darkest of times, so as we journey towards the darkest of times, we can be assured that when we trust God we are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken with whatever chaotic mess this world has for us; instead we will endure and endure we will forever!  Hallelujah!  So continue to trust God for His eyes is on those who do good and who are good; to those with upright heart and turn away from crooked ways...the Lord promised..Peace for Israel.  Peace for those who trust in the Lord in a touch time like the time we have now.  Amen!

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, I am truly amazed of Your wonderful works in our lives.  I am grateful to know the comforting words You have for us.  The assurance that in this dark times, even as we go through the darkest of times, we can be assured that You surround us now and forevermore.  Knowing that You with us will keep us strong and unshakable at a time like this; that despite of whatever difficulties or hardship we are to face, we know that we will endure them with You!  Thank You Lord for Your words.  In Jesus' Name, Amen!

God’s Message/Promise/Commands:

Indeed, God is our help!  In a time when things are just spiralling down and new rules come into place, replacing the old ones just because man thought it was good.  A few days ago, June 26 (Friday) to be more specific, U.S. Supreme Court ruled to legalized same sex marraige all across the country.  People were celebrating and even lighting up the while house with rainbow colors.  At an age where the past is unfolding once again, what can we do?  America has been the number 1 influential country in the world.  It is been said that whatever the U.S. wears, everybody follows; whatever the U.S. cooks, all other countries eats...so this new change coming into place in the U.S. soil, will definitely impact the rest of the world too.  We've heard people from other countries now coming out to declare their gender without shame.  Just this morning, my sister told me that "Monique Wilson"one of the Miss Saigon's singer with Lea Salongga, came out and declared she's lesbian.  So now that the world is changing and it is drastically evolving into something that it should not be...what can we do?  Well, today's chapter is such a comfort and answer to our concerns.  Here we see, David pronouncing to the world that without God, they would have been devoured.  So today, we rest in the knowledge that God is with us and He will protect us in this chaotic world.  So we just focus our eyes on Him.  Without Him, our lives will drift away and we will be consumed by our enemies but God didn't go off and leave us...He didn't abandon us defenseless, in fact, our enemies' grip was broken and we're set free by God Himself.  Truly, God's strong Name is our help, the same God who made heaven and earth.  So let us be secured and assured with that truth in us.

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, thank You for Your words of comfort and security.  Thank You because today, You reminded me that You are my help and You are my protection.  Despite of the changes in the world, I can be assured and secured knowing that You who made Heaven and Earth is my help in this dark place.  Thank You Jesus for You are my God and Savior at all times.  In Jesus' Name, Amen!

God’s Message/Promise/Commands:

Good morning, what a great day to start with an affirmation of God's love for us and our willingness to obey Him.  Here is David, pouring out His heart with the huge excitement and joy he feels in being in the house of the Lord.  We can read through his words his longing, his happiness, his excitement...now here's a king who loved nothing but to be in the house of God.  But what is in God's house?  Is it the building? The decorations? Is it because it is well built? Or because of the famous David-thrones? Oh no!  What makes Jerusalem a great city is because it is God's house...because He dwells there.  That's the whole point of David's gladness, His joy and excitement.  And so David promised to take care of Jerusalem because God dwells in the city and that's why he ensures that the insiders are friendly and those that are hostiles are left as an outsider.  There is peace in Jerusalem because the Lord dwells in it.  And David did his part to keep it as it is for God.  

Now let us relate this today... Our Jerusalem, God's dwelling place, is ourselves now.  We are God's temple of house.  So we ought to keep the friendly insider in and remove or keep the hostile outsiders out.  There should be peace in us for the sake of the truth that God dwells in us.  We ought to keep ourselves in peace and taken cared of.  So take care of yourself in the same way You would take care of the house of the most important person in the whole universe, in Heaven and on earth!

Prayer:

Lord thank You for today, for reminding me of taking care of myself.  Thank You Lord that taking care of myself is not just for me but more on the truth that You dwell in us.  Help me Lord to take care of me for Your glory and not anyone else’’s.  Give me the wisdom to ensure that everyone in are friendly and live in peace in me and not the other way around.  Help me to keep myself at peace and protected.  Thank You Jesus!  In Jesus' Name, Amen!

What a beautiful day with words from a beautiful God!  Sudden unexpected things happened for the past few days and this has interrupted my morning habits but today, I am resuming my life back on track.  To connect with the source 1st thing.  What a very appropriate message at a time when things are flowing away from plans.  I was getting comfortable and settling with my usual habit then out of a sudden, the simplest thing happened that impacts my total day.  To make the long and complicated story short, my laptop crashed because of an update I made in the purpose of making my life easier at work, in the end that update with good intentions backfired and I ended up losing a laptop and gaining a new one.  Although now I'm in debt, which is something I don't want to be in but what can I do?  Things happened and I will need to adjust and learn to deal with it.  That's why the topic today is such an assurance and comfort from God Himself.  After 2 days of being out of my usual habit, I decided to bring my life around and the Lord's first words are so touching and welcoming.  He said in Psalm 121 that He is my Guardian.  He guards me from every evil; He guards my life; when I leave and when I return; He guards me now and He guards me always!  After the 2 days of no order or chaotic event, God's welcoming words were... I am guarding you...I won't let you stumble, I will not fall asleep, not on your life!  Amazing!  Lord, I'm sorry for being such a hard headed and weak.  I'm sorry for swaying so easily when sudden things happen breaking my normal or regular life pattern.  But Lord, Your words are just so comforting and amazing that it leads me back directly to You.  

Yesterday I was very tired, physically, mentally, even spiritually.  I am sick and tired literally (physically).  Yet, You sustained my life so I was able to finish the day and start a new one today.  Thank You Lord for Your loving kindness.

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, Gracious and loving God!  I am greatly amazed and touched with Your words today.  I am comforted and secured that no matter what happens, You guards me always and will not let me stumble.  Keep my direction straight to You Lord and when things don't go as I planned it, keep my life steady by holding it by Your hand.  Thank You Lord for such reassuring words today.  I know now that You guard me always and will keep me away from evil.  Thank You Lord for Your love.  In Jesus'Name, Amen!

Title: Psalm 120 – A Pilgrim Song

Scripture: Psalm 120-:1 – 7

God’s Message / God’s Promise / God’s Commands:

→ Here is an author frustrated from all the liars around him.  The author spoke of liars who smile so sweetly yet lie through their teeth.  Now, we have people who lie for a living but I think when the author spoke of liars, he also included those who really didn't have such bad intentions but still lies.  Example, someone who said that he will meet you tomorrow and then end up saying, I'm sorry I was so busy and I forgot.  So people who are not true to their words and after it happened, they still managed to smile back at you as if they haven't wasted your time or effort for a promise that they didn't meet.  I think you get what I mean.  So these does not include professional liars but also regular people who seems to be lying naturally without any full bad intention against the person they are lying to.  In verses 3-4, the author somehow asked in a "challenging way" the liars if they know the future.  So these could also mean people who thinks they know it all, not literally those who prophecy, but those who are logical and analytical who can think ahead..they openly speaks as if what they said is the truth when they really don't know what's going to happy in the future...all they do is predict it based on facts they have.  So there are a lot of different liars in short... but overall if you became a victim of one of them, the answer is found in verse 1, "I'm in trouble, I cry to God, desperate for an answer" - if you have become confuse of their lies or you're becoming one yourself...the solution is to cry out to God!

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, thank You for showing me the way out of trouble from lying lips.  Help me Lord to always remember that when I become a victim or I become a liar myself, my only response should be is too call upon You!  Help me Lord to implement this in my life that I may always find myself side by side of the truth.  As You live in me and I stays in You, let my life reflect nothing but the truth that comes from You.  In Jesus' Name, Amen!

Title: Psalm 119 – Sin and Shin

Scripture: Psalm 119:169 – 176

God’s Message / God’s Promise / God’s Commands:

→ The last topic for chapter 119 and I can say that this chapter ended with a bang!  It has the greatest truth of all...the most valuable too - and that is the truth of God's presence/word with us.  Look at how this author longs for God in his life.  How God in control of him as God putting His hand to steady us.  Because we are truly shaky at all times and without God, we tend to break, fall, or fail.  So God's hands keep us steady in life and His words is our counsel to live the life we ought to live.  I love verse 174, when the author said, "I'm homesick, God for your salvation; I love it when you show yourself"  This is what we ought to experience or feel at all times.  The hunger and homesickness when away from the Lord...the love and excitement when God shows Himself to us!  May we develop this mindset and passion in our hearts so that everyday we long for God's presence and love at all times.

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, glorious Father and amazing Saviour!  Today we celebrate Father's day so today I celebrate You!  Lord thank You because You are the Father of all and despite of the absence of my own father in my life now, You have filled it in and satisfied me.  Thank You Jesus that You made it possible for me to have You.  Stir in me the passion to desire and long for You each day of my life.  Give me the longing to seek for Your word and presence at all times.  In Jesus' Name, Amen!

Title: Psalm 119 – Sin and Shin

Scripture: Psalm 119:161 – 168

God’s Message / God’s Promise / God’s Commands:

→ I love how God's words can keep us calm, collective and strong in difficult times.  The topic today started with the author saying that although he had been slandered unmercifully by politicians, which means people in authority had been slandering him without mercy.  Have you ever been in a situation when someone pointed at you for doing something that you know was not your fault?  You were accused and then blamed for doing your job or for something that you have good intentions of doing?  Well this author did.  Worst, this author was being picked on...he/she was slandered unmercifully, maybe every day or day in and day out...yet this author remained stable and calm because his focus is none other than God's words alone.  The author is ecstatic, in so much joy/happiness that these slanders on his name, character, or personality, don’t even affect him that much anymore.  He even described his state like a man who strikes it rich.  Now, let's look at facts.  Most Rich people, no matter how many try to put them down, they really just don't care.  Why?  Well, because they have the wealth and they know that those words of slanders are not going to harm them because with wealth, there's power.  Well this author describes his situation the same as a rich guy.  That no matter how others try to ruin him, he didn't care because God's words has the power!  I also want to point out the intimacy that this author has with the Lord.  Not only does he cares so much about the Lord's words but his life is an open book to God...not because God sees everything but because, God is involved in his life.  God's words is his instructions, directions and he abides in God's counsel...that’s why his life is an open book to God!  May we have the same life with the Lord each day.

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, what a great lesson today.  Thank You for showing me that Your word does not only comforts us but it is our direction, our refuge...our everything.  We can rest and be at peace even if chaos is around us because we have Your word daily.  Thank You for showing me that making our lives an open book to You requires our willingness to make You involve in it and not just simply because You see everything and You know everything.  Being an open book means, You taking control of our lives...it is not merely for You to see and read upon...but it is about giving You the access to edit, add, and even delete.  Thank You Lord for increasing my knowledge today about who You are and my life with You.  In Jesus' Name, Amen!

Title: Psalm 119 - Resh

Scripture: Psalm 119:153 – 160

God’s Message / God’s Promise / God’s Commands:

→ The author of today's topic speaks of the truth that many either disregards or forgotten.  "Salvation is far from the wicked" - for the past few days, we spoke about our drive, commitment, and faithfulness to God's words in times of hopelessness, struggles and difficulties.  But today, let us address or discuss the reality of what the wicked has in store for their future.  The truth is, salvation is far from them.  But God's compassion is great so if they repent, God will be faithful to forgive but if they continue to disobey God's words, then salvation is out of their reach.  Just earlier today, I read an article about the famous Miley Cyrus.  This young lady who was an inspiration to many kids and has shaped the thoughts of the young people when she was growing up (and still continue do to so in our time today), has done such an unforgivable act once again.  At the start of her concert, she went on stage carrying a Bible and said, "Here's for you all Jesus-lovers out there" then she burned the bible on stage and dropped it.  The article continued by saying she dance provocatively over the book...such a disrespectful act for the Holy Bible.  She was not satisfied with that because then the lights went off, total darkness, and there were only 2 red lights turned on showing 2 inverted cross on stage.  Now, I'm honestly shocked and flabbergasted with the reports of what she did.  1/5 of the audience went out of the concert...really? 1/5 only?  All the while I was reading the article, I could think of Miley - Does she know what she's doing?  I'm guessing yes because she was brought up in a Christian family.  I'm sure she was informed about the Bible and the Lord.  Yet she chose to do this.  My heart was in pain to see such an influential soul do such things against the Lord.  She has literally signed her death sentenced yet my heart felt pity on her.  Then the word today said, "Salvation is far from the wicked, for they do not seek out your decrees.  Your compassion, Lord, is great; preserve my life according to your laws."  - The bible that Miley burned in front of everyone contains the very words that will later on save her when she realizes her biggest mistakes.  I long for that day when she can proclaim and declare her changed life in God.  And somehow, God is pushing me to pray for people like Miley because in truth, they may have all the wealth, power, and fame today but salvation is just out of their reach right now and their hope is for us to pray for them.  So before we react to what she did, let's stop and know that this lady used to be one of the greatest role model of kindness, love, hope, and family on TV shows.  I believe she is capable of love, of kindness, of hope and all that she portrays in Hannah Montana.  I still believe she still has those qualities in her today.  She needs our prayer...all the "miley cyrus" of the world does.  So let's pray for them, for salvation is far from them.

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, what an amazing word today.  An amazing revelation and truth.  Thank You Lord for showing me the article earlier and for me to see the truth of this all.  Help me Lord to have compassion and to pray for those who truly needs it.  Give me wisdom and strength to be able to work my faith out in You that I may shine Your hope, Your love, Your glory to others today.  Lord, I pray for Miley Cyrus and all the famous and influential young people in the world today who are struggling or in the crossroad of their lives.  Show them the way Lord.  Like Paul, give them the opportunity to have an encounter with You that will ultimately change their lives.  Thank You for the answers Lord.  In Jesus' Name, Amen!

Title: Psalm 119 - Qoph

Scripture: Psalm 119:145 – 152

God’s Message / God’s Promise / God’s Commands:

→ Today, we learn about standing in faith no matter what!  This author spoke of desperation...he said that he call out at the top of his lungs for God to answer him - which denotes that this is a time in his life where God is not heard.  Are you in that time of your life right now?  Where no matter how you call upon God, there just seem to be no answer...all there is is silence.  Well this author is definitely going through that time in his life.  He was so desperate that he made a deal to follow or do whatever God say.  There was a hint of struggle when the author plead to be saved for the reason that he can carry out all His instructions.  Are you having a hard time carrying God's instructions today in your life?  Well, there's only one thing to do... call upon the Lord no matter how long it will take.  This author was up before sunrise, already crying for help, hoping for a word from the Lord...and if there's none, he did the same thing again the next day.  The commitment this author possess and faithfulness to keep on calling out to God despite of no answer every day.  May we never get tired of calling out to God in our lives each day no matter what.  This author spoke to God and sought for God to listen to him because of His love; because of His justice, the author asked God to keep him alive.  So note that when the author asked for something from the Lord, may it be for God to listen or to save him, it is only because of God's love and justice and never because the author obeyed or follow God.  A clear indication that this author understood the importance of humility.  Note that despite all this, the author only spoke of one thing, God is the closest to him and considered all God's judgments to be true including what he is going thru at that moment.  And he testified that he had known all along that God meant every word to last forever, every promise, every law, to last forever.  So he kept holding on to it - that becomes his driving force to remain faithful and firm in God despite of his circumstances.  May we all have the same driving force, commitment, passion, and faithfulness.

Prayer:

Lord what a wonderful lesson today.  Thank You Lord for teaching me to remain faithful and reminding me that all the evidence points out one thing - that Your word is true and they are meant to last forever.  Help me Lord to remain faithful and give me the strength to carry on when things doesn't seem to be going my way or has become inconvenient for me.  Thank You for hearing my prayer.  In Jesus' Name, Amen!

Title: Psalm 119 - Tsadhe

Scripture: Psalm 119:137 – 144

God’s Message / God’s Promise / God’s Commands:

→ Today we learn the importance of knowing and understanding both in heart and mind that God is RIGHT!  His laws are true and right!  He always do what is Right and His decisions are RIGHT ON TARGET!  Why the emphasis?  Well, because whether we admit it or not, although we know that God is right, we still tend to do what we think is right rather than what God says is Right!  What do you mean?  I do what's right?  I give to the poor, I read the Bible, I pray, I go to church...I obey...really?  obey?  Partially maybe but not all.  The simplest example I can think of is loving your enemies.  This is one of the hardest word of truth to follow.  How can you love someone who has done nothing but hurt or pain you?  Yes I can forgive but forget?  Oh no, that's out of the question.  I'm sure you're getting what I mean here.  But the truth is no one can argue with God's choices or decisions or commands or words because they are RIGHT!  No matter how we try to analyze or break it down, even if we do not understand it...the truth remains that it is right!  So why not make our lives easier and follow?  The author even continued by assuring us that His promise has been tested through and through.  Even if we cannot prove it or understand what God has said...it has been proven and tested time and time again.  It doesn't need your confirmation or approval...it approves and confirms itself!  The author even emphasize and declared that God's revelation is the only truth!  Now many would question this especially those with high IQ and tends to scrutinize every word (I’m guilty of this).  How can you truly be sure unless you have proven it or understand it...are you saying to blindly obey and follow?  Not at all!  We are talking about a revelation from the Lord here not something someone teaches or an idea that our minds concatenate.  We are talking about the word of the Lord, His revelation!  Every revelation is upholded by God's words!  So it is back up with scriptures and spiritual works from God Himself.  There will be no confusion when you received a revelation from God, peace will inhabit your whole being and there will be no question of its origin even if at times, we fail to understand the truth of the revelation.  That's why this author also wrote the importance of asking God to help us understand His word so we can live to the fullest.  In summary, God's words is truth, whether we understand it or not, it is RIGHT!  So why not follow what is RIGHT so we can live to the fullest?  - Make sense right?

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, thank You for a wonderful lesson today.  Help me Lord to understand Your word that I may follow it and live my life to the fullest.  Help me to understand that no matter what, my life should be dependent to the leading of Your word.  Yesterday, I learned about Your Word as not only the source of life, but direction and instructions.  Help me Lord to seek those instructions and live it through in my life that I may bring glory to Your Name.  In Jesus' Name, Amen!
