"Establish my footsteps in Your word, and do not let any iniquity have dominion over me." (Psalm 119:133, NASB)
There is a definite "cause and effect" in Psalm 119. Every prayer, every declaration is integrally related to the, "Word of God." Today's text reveals how commitment to, "The Word of God," yields victory over sin, "Establish my footsteps in Your Word...." Romans 6 reveals that sin seeks, "dominion over you...." The Holy Spirit tells us, "For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace."
In Psalm 65:3, David declares, "Iniquities prevail against me; as for our transgressions, You will provide atonement for them." Iniquities will, "prevail against me," if, "my footsteps (are not) establish[ed] in Your word." Yet anyone whose, "footsteps," are established, "in Your (His) word," knows that, "You will provide (has purchased, finished) atonement them," all my sin, always. In and through the Blood of Jesus Christ, "....We also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement." In Jesus, His Blood, His Cross, His Death, His Resurrection, His Ascension, His Soon Appearing, "we now have." To people who think our "faith" exclusive, it is not. "On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, 'If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink'"-----------"anyone." That is all that anyone on Planet Earth needs to find, "the atonement"-------- "thirst." When a lost soul surrenders to Jesus Christ, the prayer, "....do not let any iniquity have dominion over me," is answered. This is victory, my friend, the ultimate, glorious definition of victory.
When we sin, make mistakes, falter, etc., doubt as to our salvation can be a very real evil. Yet doubt will only defeat today that person whose, "footsteps," seek establishment elsewhere. If, however, our desire, commitment, life style is, "Establish my footstep in Your Word," then doubt will not prevail. A life established in, "The Word of God," Jesus Christ, and His, "Breathed," Words is a life whose, "footsteps," are those of total victory.
Father, in Jesus' Name, while so many seek to establish their footsteps in so many offerings of man, I pray, "Establish my footsteps in Your Word." Amen.
