"Order my steps in Thy Word; and let not any iniquity have dominion over me." *** Psalm 119:133Our steps are to be ordered in the Word. The word order is the Hebrew word KUWN and means establish. Our steps are to be established in the Word so that no iniquity (lawlessness) can have dominion in our lives. We can only avoid this pitfall in our lives by being established in the law of God. The whole Bible is the law of God in our lives.
"For by the law is the knowledge of sin." *** Romans 3:20
It is by the Word that our steps are established in the Lord. Jesus was tempted by satan in the wilderness. Jesus' answers should be nourishment to our souls.
"He answered (satan) and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." *** Matthew 4:4
Every Word that proceeded out of the mouth of God, both Rhema and Logos is to be our daily bread of life. We are to be directed by it, and have it hid in our hearts,
"Thy Word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against Thee." *** Psalm 119:11
Our walk in God should be one in which sin has no dominion. And our paths should be straight. The Word should ever be before our eyes and we should meditate in it day and night. *** Psalm 1:2
John wrote,
"But whoso keepeth His Word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in Him. *** I John 2:5
God's love can only be perfected in us by the continual washing of water by the Word. It is the one sure foundation we have to build our lives upon. And that foundation is the apostles and prophets, which is the Old and the New Testament of which Jesus Christ is the chief cornerstone.
