Dear friends there is some inspiration in and thru Gods word for practical living
We are not alienated because of this. Real life , joy and peace and guidance you can count on .
In the bible Psalm 119:105 “thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path”
We are all inexperienced in life to be without a guide. Gods word is that guide. Here it shows the word will assist in life’s most practical circumstances. The word lights the way , giving direction for each step (to my feet) and giving wisdom for long-range plans (to my path). When the word is applied to our lives it guides to the fullest .
In Proverbs 6:22 “when you thou (goest ), it shall lead thee, when thou( sleepest )it shall keep thee, when thou (awakest )it shall talk with thee “.
This is assurance when the word of God is pre-eminence in our lives it leads you, keeps you , talks to you.
Furthermore in vs23 ” For the commandments is a lamp, and the law is light, and reproofs of instruction are the way of life ”
it reminds us that the reproofs or corrections the Bible gives are as much a part of the ‘light’ it provides as any positive or confirming direction we can find.
In Psalm 19:7 “The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul, the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple”
Final assurance , the word of God is ‘perfect , trustworthy, absolute, complete in its entirety of the holy scriptures. The Bible is unfailing as an absolutely trustworthy guide for our faith (belief in God) . This is so because God is true. His word reveals His truth for our Practical living.
Blessings
