Tuesday: Following Footsteps 3

Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path. I have taken an oath and confirmed it, that I will follow your righteous laws.

Good Morning, my dear brothers and sisters. It is a beautiful morning here at the Southern Location of the North Pole and it is Schools day on the line today. Even though most of our schools are on summer break, we need to be praying for them. Praise Report Listed here ...

Sadie, the 8th grader in the accident, is still in an induced coma. But the swelling on her brain is going down each day. The doctors are talking about starting to gradually bring her out of the coma this week. Many tears flowed Sunday morning up front at church praying for her. God is faithful and we have to trust in his timing on all matters. Please keep praying for this young lady.

Prayers are needed for the families of two Mechanicsburg Pa. teens who were killed in an accident on Saturday Morning. Prayers today for Vicki's son Josh. He has overturned an ankle and is in an air cast. Please pray for Vicki, her plate seems to be getting fuller and fuller. (Please keep the faith, Vicki.)

Following Footsteps 3: Psalm 119: 105 - Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path. 106 I have taken an oath and confirmed it, that I will follow your righteous laws. (NIV)

If you are like me you have cracked your little toes on furniture while trying to walk to the bathroom or around the house in the dark.. I have done it so many times, even broke them a few times. How really dumb am I? (You do not need to answer that question). to do it more than once, many more times than once. Sometimes it is just getting up to visit the bathroom at night, other times it is when power has been out. You would think a grown man would be smart enough to turn on the light. Don't laugh at me, more than likely most of you have done the same thing in your life.

Brothers and sisters, it is one thing, and it is dumb, to be walking around the house in the dark, it is even dumber to be walking around all the time in the dark, even during the light of day or with the lights of your house turned on. Trust me, when you are personally walking in the dark you are going to get hurt a lot more than just a bump on your little piggy. Brothers and sisters, the Word of God is our light, and if we are not walking in the light of The Word, and following Footsteps of Jesus which would be well lit by His wonderful and powerful Words of Truth, then you are surely going to fall into the darkness of Satan and evil and you surely will get hurt.

Brothers and sisters, there is not a day go past that I do not read in our local paper about really bad things ... shootings on the streets by our youth over the weekend, two, not one, but two shootouts in the same block in Harrisburg, Pa., on Sunday Morning. A 60 year old man found dead in his room with over 40 stab wounds. Traffic accidents caused by drinking, drugs, speeding, road rage ... Abortion, another state approving gay marriages. People stealing, and I am not talking just some shoplifting here or driving off without paying for gas ... I am talking about people losing their savings by white collar evil people. Eating places opening up with half dressed waiters and waitresses. These kinds of places and things and I have just touched on them. These kinds of places and things are the dark areas or evil places that we need God's light, God's Word, God's love in our hearts to stay away from. IF WE DO NOT WALK IN THE LIGHT, WE WILL STUMBLE IN THE DARK. IF WE DO NOT FOLLOW THE FOOTSTEPS OF OUR LORD JESUS, WE WILL BE FOLLOWING THE FOOTSTEPS OF SATAN. It is really your choice. Do you want to walk in the light, or in the dark? Do you want to walk with Jesus or do you want to walk with Satan? Do you want to go to Heaven or do you want to go to Hell? It is your choice. Tomorrow is Salvation Wednesday, but today I need to do this again, please pray for the prayer requests today and please, please, will you join me in this prayer of faith, a prayer to promise our Lord Jesus and also your family and yourself that you are going to try your very best to walk in the light.

Dear Father in Heaven, I am tired of falling in the dark, I am tired of sin, I am wanting to walk daily in The Word of God, I am wanting to walk in the Light of our Lord Jesus. Lord God, I confess I need Your help doing just that. I can't walk even one step without You holding me up, holding my hand. Lord, I want to be washed clean, I want to be booked for Heaven, and I do believe in You, Jesus, I believe You died on the cross for me. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

Go forth walking in the light of the Word, and sharing the blessings that walking in the light of the Word bring forth. Walk with Jesus, walk in His footsteps ... love ya, dan.
