Psalm 119:133 Order my steps in your word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me. Some men's lives are out of perspective. Do you remember Hogarth's caricature of a picture without perspective, wherein a man appears to be fishing in a river, but is really standing far away from it; a sparrow in a tree looks like a huge eagle, and a man on the top of a hill is borrowing a light from a candle held out of the window of a house down below on the other side of a river. Without perspective good drawing is impossible, and without proportion a complete life is impossible. A man may be, in many points, a good man, and yet he may have so much of one virtue that it may become a vice, and he may have so little of another virtue that it may be a grave defect. We can never attain to the right proportion of the virtues unless the Lord Himself arranges them in order for us. O Lord, help us. Order our steps. ( C. H. Spurgeon.) Parallel Verses KJV: Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.WEB: Establish my footsteps in your word. Don't let any iniquity have dominion over me. |
