Ps:119:133
Guide my steps by your word
So I will not be overcome by evil.
Your word, keep it in my heart, so that I will be reminded of it when I am tempted to sin. That is one implication.
Ps:119:11 I have hidden your word in my heart
That I might not sin against you.
Yet another beautiful implication is this - when I am overwhelmed by the evil around me, I will find comfort in your word. Your rod and your staff comforts me when I am walking through the valley of shadow of death. For you are with me.
Even after obedience, sometimes suffering continues. Sometimes it overwhelms us so much that we don't understand what or where I went wrong. Sometimes it is unexplainable when the evil one continues to attack like a roaring lion. Whereas the real Lion of Judah is with us. The Word. The Son. God Himself is with us. Immanuel God. We might not have explanations or answers to what we are going through. But the Almighty God is surely with us.
Rom:8:31 If God is for us, who can stand against us.
He has engraven us in His palms.
No one can snatch you away from Jesus' hands.
The Father is more powerful than anyone else. No one can snatch us from the Father's hands.
Oh! What an assurance. What a hope. Not about eternity alone. But about today. That nothing happens in my life today without the foreknowledge of my Abba, who loves me so so much.
When evil seems to overwhelm, be assured that His love has already covered you.
