Steady Path

Keep steady my steps according to your promise,
and let no iniquity get dominion over me.
(Ps 119:133)

I need steadysteps. Keep on keeping on. Heading in the right direction. Slow and steady.While Paul and Hebrews talks about the Christian life as a race Psalm 119:133 makes me think of a trek.Get up every morning and ask the Lord to fulfill his promise to keep me goingaccording to his plan. His plan to bring to completion the work he began in me (Phil1:9).

A big part of thatplan is to make sure that no inequity get dominion over me. Hebrews 12:1 tellsme to get rid of sin that entangles me. But here in Psalm 119:33 is a prayerthat it doesn't entangle me in the first place, or maybe after escaping it,never again to let it entangle me.

Make no mistake, ifit entangles, it will dominate. Thank you, Holy Spirit, for giving me yourpower to untangle my sin and keep it from coming back to dominate me.
