Daily Devotional: Our Father Knows Best
By Mark Waldrop

Scripture:
Psalm 119:30
I have chosen the way of faithfulness; I set your rules before me.

Reflection:
Choosing the way of faithfulness is a deliberate and ongoing decision. It means committing to live according to God's principles and commands, even when it is difficult or unpopular. This verse from Psalm 119 highlights the psalmist's resolve to follow God's path and keep His rules at the forefront of his mind.

God's rules, found in His Word, are not restrictive but liberating. They guide us toward a life that is pleasing to Him and fulfilling for us. When we set God's rules before us, we align our lives with His will, experiencing the peace and joy that come from living in obedience to Him. Faithfulness requires dedication and a heart that continually seeks after God.

Prayer:
Dear Lord, I choose the way of faithfulness today. Help me to keep Your rules before me and to live according to Your Word. Give me strength and courage to remain faithful in all circumstances. Let Your principles guide my decisions and actions. Amen.

Contemplation:
Consider the areas of your life where you can more fully embrace faithfulness. How can you set God's rules before you each day? Spend time reading and meditating on His Word, asking for His guidance and strength to walk in His ways.
