Psalm 119 (144 of 190 notes)

133. Order my steps in thy word. This is one of the Lord’s customary mercies to his chosen—“He keepeth the feet of his saints.” By his grace he enables us to put our feet step by step in the very place which his Word ordains. This does not stop short of perfect holiness, neither will the believer’s desires be satisfied with anything beneath that blessed consummation. And let not any iniquity have dominion over me. This is the negative side of the blessing. We ask to do all that is right, and to fall under the power of nothing that is wrong. Believers pant for perfect liberty from the power of evil, and being conscious that they cannot obtain it of themselves, they cry unto God for it.
