Happy

"I have sworn and confirmed it, to keep your righteous rules," Psalm 119:106.

This line explains just how its preceding line works: Your word is a lamp to my feet, a light to my path. The relationship between Word and person does not rest in putting the Book on a stand and singing songs about it. Rather, the relationship rests in a person's commitment to hear the Word and then trust, obey. We acknowledge that the Word in the Book results from the mind of God, clearly. Just as limpid, it's the doing of the Word in the Book that proves the mind of God. When people who do not have the law do what the law says they show that they are a law to themselves though they do not have the law. (Well, that's a thoughtful!). There is no other way to be happy in Jesus.

We remember our commitment to walk with Jesus, Lord and Savior; we recommit to obey the call of his grace. Visiting with a brother or sister today, renew together dying to self and obeying him happily for ever, who died, and lives, for us.
