Psalm 119:105-112 - God's word

People are often doing all they can to avoid following God's ways, to argue against His word. But for the one who trusts God the Word is a lamp to our feet. It guides our way, and points out the obstacles along the way. 
We need to be committed to God's ways. David says he has taken an oath. Many today would consider this to be too formal, but lack of commitment is one of the big problems in society today. We need to make a firm commitment to follow God's ways.
Following God does not mean an end to suffering, quite the opposite in fact. But in the midst of difficulties and sufferings we can learn to rely more and more on God and His word. This involved risk for David, but he continued to remember God's ways.
Yet again we get the actions of the wicked, seeking to entrap David, but he remains wedded to God's ways. 
The word of God brings joy to our heart, and our heart needs to be utterly dedicated to God.
