The Old 119th - Fellowship of Ailbe

Psalm 119:105, 106 Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. This precious verse totally describing the intended role of the Word of the Lord in my life. Now to submit to that totality of seeking understanding and willing obedience to be led. I…
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. I have sworn an oath and confirmed it, to keep your righteous rules. (107) I am severely afflicted; give me life, O LORD, according to your word! Accept my freewill offerings of praise, O LORD, and…
Through your precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way. Those false ways lead to confusion and pain, they are snares for Satan, attractive on the surface but hiding misery and separation from You. Your precepts provide clarity; the righteousness, peace and joy that is life in the…
How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth! To know is to develop the ultimate sweet tooth. It comes to the point that nothing satisfies as Your Word does. It is to be in Your Presence, within the sweet, sweet tones of the Logos.…

Oh how I love your law! It is my meditation all the day. Your commandment makes me wiser than my enemies, for it is ever with me. I have more understanding than all my teachers, for your testimonies are my meditation. I understand more than the aged, for I keep…
I have seen a limit to all perfection, but your commandment is exceedingly broad. Man's ability to control the world that he views: his circumstances, his environment and other men is limited by his finitude; God's worldview extends beyond the limits of time and space. It is complete, consistent, comprehensive…
I am yours; save me, for I have sought your precepts. If I am truly seeking Your precepts, I will be filled with the joy of the Kingdom; if there is not within me a burning desire to know You, then I have missed the mark, I am relying on…
If your law had not been my delight, I would have perished in my affliction. Your law is a mighty bulwark between me and the attacks of the Evil One. These attacks are intended to separate me from communion with You, but You use them, through the power of your…
By your appointment they stand this day, for all things are your servants. Sometime, Lord, it is difficult to recognize the truth of this verse, that all things are Your servants. I am thinking of friends today, two going through great pain from physical conditions, two as parents of troubled…
