Light Reflection-Psalm 119:111 Statutes

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Light Reflection is from Psalm 119:111.

“Your statutes are my heritage forever; they are the joy of my heart.”

Joshua was a man of God who inspired a nation to walk with God when he said, “As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” It was his joy to obey God by leading His people.

The light of God’s Word fills us with joy. When we open up the Bible, we see the need of humanity for a Savior, which God provided through Jesus Christ. We are encouraged by His plan for our lives, to bless us with His grace and guide us in His truth.

We also see how His statutes are given in love to protect us and provide for us. From a heart of gratitude for all that God has done for us, we want to obey Him and honor His name. It is our joy to serve Him. First John 5:3 says “this is love for God: to keep his commands. And his commands are not burdensome.”

This Light Reflection inspires us to find joy in following God’s statutes in the Year to Shine.
