Show Don't Tell: Psalm 119:105-112 (Nun)

Instead of saying "God's word guides us," walk in the lamplight. Nun section—the most famous stanza: "Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path." Not floodlight showing the whole journey—lamp illuminating next step. Feet-level guidance. "I have taken an oath and confirmed it, that I will follow your righteous laws." Oath-bound obedience. "I have suffered much; preserve my life, LORD, according to your word." Suffering acknowledged, preservation sought. "Accept, LORD, the willing praise of my mouth, and teach me your laws." Freewill offering of praise. "Though I constantly take my life in my hands, I will not forget your law." Life in hands—constant danger—law not forgotten. "The wicked have set a snare for me, but I have not strayed from your precepts." Snares set, path kept. "Your statutes are my heritage forever; they are the joy of my heart. My heart is set on keeping your decrees to the very end." Heritage forever, joy of heart, set to the end.
