Daily Bites Of God's Word - Part 45 - Psalm 119:45

Hello, welcome back to Dated By It's God's Word. This is Andy Cain. It's a joy to be back with you once again. Today we're looking at Psalm 119, verse 45, and I will walk in a wide place for I seek your precepts.

This understanding of walking, the way you live, the conversation of your life, the habitual nature of your life, it's going to show who you really are.

And when he says here, I walk in the wide place, we have a cross -reference here in Proverbs chapter 4 and verse 12, which gives us a little bit of a deeper understanding of what the concept here is.

In verse 12 of Proverbs 4, it says when you walk, your steps will not be impeded, and if you run, you will not stumble.

And so you look at verse 11 as well. It says, I have instructed you in the way of wisdom. I have led you in upright tracks.

So this understanding of the wide places and walking it is about walking in righteousness, walking in the right path.

Walking in the wide place is the same thing as walking in such a way to where your steps are impeded.

And when you look at the book of Proverbs, it talks about how having biblical wisdom is the key to not ever stumbling in the dark, because you have the light of God's word to illuminate your path, let you know where to go, how to walk, how to live.

And so it says, I seek your precepts. This seeking of God's word and seeking his precepts for life is what illuminates that path.

You won't be impeded. You won't stumble when you're walking, running, living. There's no cause for stumbling in you.

And so that's how I want you to walk. I want to walk this way. I want you to walk in this wide place, this wide area.

It's wide open. You knowing where to go. You have safety in your path. There's trust in the path.

This all comes from a consistent understanding of God's word. Amen. Well, I want to thank you for joining me on this daily bite of God's word.
