"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and light unto my path"(psalm 119:105)
The word of God direct us in our work and way, and a dark place indeed the world would be without it. The commandment is a lamp kept burning with the oil of the Spirit, as a light to direct us in the choice of our way, and the steps we take in that way. The keeping of God's commands here meant, was that of a sinner under a dispensation of mercy, of a believer having part in the covenant of grace. The psalmist is often afflicted; but with longing desires to become more holy, offers up daily prayers for quickening grace. We cannot offer any thing to God, that he will accept but what he is pleased to teach us to do. To have our soul or life continually in our hands, implies constant danger of life; yet he did not forget God's promises nor his precepts. Numberless are the snares laid by the wicked; and happy is that servant of God, whom they have not caused to err from his Master's precepts. Heavenly treasures are a heritage for ever; all the saints accept them as such, therefore they can be content with little of this world. We must look for comfort only in the way of duty, and that duty must be done. A good man, by the grace of God, brings his heart to his work, then it is done well.

Yes, yes, yes! Love this song, thank you for sharing me such a beautiful and meaningful song.
(Psalm 139: 1-18)
1.O LORD, you have searched me and you know me.
2.You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.
3.You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways.
4.Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD.
5.You hem me in--behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me.
6.Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.
7.Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?
8.If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, [1] you are there.
9.If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea,
10.even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.
11.If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,"
12.even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.
13.For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.
14.I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
15.My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,
16.your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
17.How precious to [2] me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them!
18.Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. When I awake, I am still with you.

Great Psalm.

The when I awake I am still with you (verse 18) It is like a wake up call. . the Sun the light of day is shining.

Reminds of the Songs of Songs. Your love has so awaked me it has desired so . . opening the gates to this day anew. Breaking the healing fast. Get up eat the daily bread.. move. The mansion he has prepared is just beyond the horizon.
