Psalm 119:31 says I hold fast to your statutes, Lord; do not let me be put to shame. I run in the path of your
commands, for you have broadened my understanding.
I grew
up holding fast to the words of the Lord, because I was afraid if I didn’t,
lightning might strike me. And that
produced fear. And that zapped joy.
However,
as I’ve learned that God is a loving Father and he has great things in store
for my life, even when my vision is skewed and limited, I find myself delighting
in his Word instead of fearing it.
But I want
to run in the path of his commands!
And as
my understanding of his ways and his love broadens as I walk closely with him
and he with me, I believe that my pace will quicken, and my smile will widen,
and my feet will lift off the ground…
Running
with delight at the sound of his voice as I follow…
Won’t
you run with me?
