The Mud Puddle
April 9, 2015
Blessed are those who keep His testimonies, who seek Him with the whole heart!
Psalm 119:2
My friend Ed was telling me a story about his little son. He was standing in a mud puddle, so Ed told him to get out. But instead, his son began running through the puddle. No running through it either, he said. So the boy began walking through the water. When Ed told him, No walking! the boy stood with just his toes in the water, looking defiantly at his dad. The child knew what his father wanted, but he didnt want to do it.
Sometimes Im like that stubborn little boy. I know that what Im doing isnt pleasing to the Lord, but I do it anyway. God told the children of Israel to fully obey the Lord your God (Deut. 28:1 niv), but they failed repeatedly. The psalmist acknowledged his struggle in Psalm 119, Oh, that my ways were steadfast in obeying your decrees! (v.5 niv).
Jealousy, hatred, rebellionthey occur all too often. But God provided for our redemption through the sacrifice of His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit helps us when we are tempted (1 Cor. 10:13); and when we confess our wrongdoing, God promises to forgive us (1 John 1:9).
If you are like me and keep running back into the mud puddles of life, dont give up. God will help you to resist temptation, and He will never stop loving you!
Dear Lord, help me when Im tempted. Bring the promises of the Bible to mind and strengthen me by Your Holy Spirit to say no to temptation. Let all my words and deeds bring honor to Your name.
To master temptation, let Christ master you.
: Psalm 119 is the longest chapter in the Bible with 176 verses. The entire psalm celebrates Gods Word and speaks of its priority and sufficiency in the daily life of the believer. The psalmist uses different words to describe Gods Word: the law of the Lord (v. 1), testimonies (v. 2), ways (v. 3), precepts (v. 4), statutes (v. 5), commandments (v. 6), righteous judgments (v. 7), and word (v. 9). Through the Bible, God communicates His standards for our lives, His guidance, and His ways.
