Right and Wrong 3D
Psalm 119:129-133 ~ Your statutes are wonderful; therefore I obey them.
The unfolding of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple. I open my mouth and pant, longing for your commands. Turn to me and have mercy on me, as you always do to those who love your name. Direct my footsteps according to your word; let no sin rule over me.
By now, many of you have seen a movie in 3D. “You know, you put on a pair of glasses with plastic or paper frames to watch a 3-D movie. Watching the movie through the glasses makes the movie screen seem three-dimensional, like real life. Not only that, but sometimes things seem to “leap out” of the movie screen. . . ! A train may be barreling toward you, as though it’s coming right out of the movie. . . ! A bird may be flying around, when suddenly it turns and seems to head straight for you! A ball may be thrown by someone in the movie, and it looks as though all you have to do is hold your hands up to catch it!
If you take the 3-D glasses off, of course, all you see is a flat--even slightly blurry--movie screen. The glasses bring the action alive. Without them, you lose the whole effect. That’s sort of how reading God’s Word works for those who want to know right from wrong. Reading the Bible brings the action alive.
That’s because the Bible acts as a pair of 3-D glasses that make it easier to see and to know right from wrong. If you’re reading the Bible every day, you’ll soon start to see things much more clearly than you would otherwise. If you don’t read the Bible regularly, you’ll probably still struggle to figure out right from wrong.
That’s why the psalmist prayed to God, “Your decrees are wonderful. No wonder I obey them! As your words are taught, they give light; even the simple can understand them. . . . Guide my steps by your word, so I will not be overcome by any evil” (Psalm 119:129-130, 133, NLT).
If you really want to know right from wrong--if you really want to make right choices--read the Bible. It brings the real action alive.”
Prayer: Dear God – Help me to read your Word. Please guide my steps by your Word, so I will not be overcome by any evil. Help me make right choices consistently. Thank you for the guide that the Bible can be for our lives, enriching life and bringing out the fruits of your Spirit.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen
