Psalm 119:105-112
（Memorization Scripture 105-108）
105 Your word is a lamp to my feet, And a light to my path.
106 I have sworn and confirmed, That I will keep Your righteous judgments.
107 I am afflicted very much; Revive me, O Lord, according to Your word.
108 Accept, I pray, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O Lord, And teach me Your judgments.
109 My life is continually in my hand,Yet I do not forget Your law.
110 The wicked have laid a snare for me,Yet I have not strayed from Your precepts.
111 Your testimonies I have taken as a heritage forever,For they are the rejoicing of my heart.
112 I have inclined my heart to perform Your statutes,Forever, to the very end.

【Reflection】 In the eyes of the psalmist, the revealed word of the Lord is extremely precious as it is his heritage forever and the joy of his heart. The Lord’s words are the righteous law and the light in which we walk in this dark world. Therefore, the psalmist not only took an oath to keep the word of God, but also confirmed that he would keep it no matter the cost.

When we follow God's word in this dark world, we will often encounter battles since the wicked have set a snare for us and our lives are constantly at risk. Yet, we know that when we walk in His word He will preserve our lives according to His word.

Therefore, we hope that we, like the psalmist, will keep the word of God and consider His word as the lamp to our feet and the light for our path every day. Even when we encounter difficulties in obeying the word of God, we can willingly praise Him with our mouths and live according to His precepts. Let us commit to setting our hearts on keeping the Lord’s decrees to the very end!
