Away from Temptation

More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold” Ps 19:10 NKJV
David declared that the Law of the Lord was better than fine gold.  God’s Word is a rich treasure and all who seek in it will find valuable gems beyond measure.  One gem of God’s grace that we find there is light.  The psalmist said, “The entrance of Thy word gives light.”  Lights can be used for a certain area, like a flashlight along a path, or as the beacon of a searchlight that casts its beam afar.  The Law of God does both.
We can find in the Law the universal expectations of God’s rules for humanity.  If we follow these precepts God will lead us not into temptation.  They will be the gold standard by which a “young man will keep his ways pure.”  His Word and Spirit also light our pathway day by day.  They instruct us in the good will of God for daily living and away from the selfishness of sin.  God has offered us both His Word and His Spirit to lead us away from temptation.  He will gladly amplify its good to us as we ask Him to do so each day. 

Precious Father, Help me in Your Word today to find the way that most pleases You.  Amen
