DAY TWENTY-NINE

“The fear of the Lord is pure,

enduring forever.

The ordinances of the Lord are sure

and altogether righteous.

They are more precious than gold,

than much pure gold;

they are sweeter than honey,

than honey from the comb.

By them is your servant warned;

in keeping them there is great reward.”

Psalm 19:9-11

COMMENT

Look at the last two lines of this psalm.  Sometimes you may not like being warned because you feel threatened.  But warnings are not meant to anger or frustrate you. They are meant to protect you from harm or danger.  God’s word is like a red robot at an intersection.  When you disregard the robot, you may end up having a serious accident.  When you obey traffic lights you are rewarded with a safe journey.

PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING

Thank the Lord that He has given you His word to warn you against the dangers of sin.  If you don’t heed His warning, you may find yourself enslaved to bad behaviour that will take you to hell.
