Daily Devotion: Psalm 119:105 and 112

Psalm 119:105 "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path."

Psalm 119:112 "I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statutes alway, even unto the end"

What good is a flashlight if it isn't used? What good is a flashlight if the batteries are not charged?

It's always nice and sweet when Devotions make us feel good about ourselves. But sometimes the Word of God causes me to become uncomfortable. Today's verses bring me to that place. It would be so very easy for me to look at the contrast between what was happening to Jesus and what was happening with Peter.

It would be easy for me to sit here and say, "...
