Psalm 119:11 – I have stored your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.

Psalm 119:105 – Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.
MOLESKIN:
My son came home from preschool and shared the following pledge that he was taught, and that he recites there daily:

“I pledge allegiance to the Bible, God’s holy word.  I will make it a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path, and I will hide its words in my heart that I might not sin against God.”

When I heard my son talking about pledging allegiance to his Bible and storing its words in his heart it choked me up for two reasons – (1) because I know how much he’s going to need that has he grows up and learns to navigate this world, and (2) because even though I have that knowledge, I still try to go it alone so often and I feel foolish because of that.

We prayed this morning that God would create a dependency within us for his word, that he would strengthen us through that, and that we would set good examples for those who are following our lead.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I shared a story about a car accident I saw last night. Three kids were in a rather nice SUV and went off into a ditch. They had been clearly drinking as I smelled alcohol in the car heavily. It was a good opportunity where I could’ve witnessed to the kids but did not. God gives us opportunities that we need to act on.  We also talked about tolerating the sinner but not tolerating the sin. Jesus died as we were still sinners for us, but he did not like sin.

Run/Train to Win!!!!
1 Corinthians 9:24-27
Don’t you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win! All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing. I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified.
