Your Soul is in your hand – Psalm 119.109
Psalm 119: 109 My soul is continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law. 110 The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from thy precepts.
Buried in the 150 verses of Psalm 119 is this verse that speaks about our need to not forget the Law. We have a choice to make every day. God has given us the freedom to choose what we do. Our soul, our well-being, is in our hands. It is not in the hands of your neighbor, the king, or the world. We choose every day what we want to do and where we want to focus. Are we going to focus on our problems, our achievements, our work, our family, or our God? Seek ye first the kingdom of God, choose you this day who you will serve. If we choose God, then we will need to focus on his law, the Word of God. The wicked try to distract us; they seek to draw our attention away from God’s laws. Even the word “law” makes us cringe, but ir refers to the rules and principles that God has outlined and preserved for us so that we can be blessed rather than cursed. Today, which will you choose?
