Good Morning Friends! Psalms 16:8 I have set the LORD always before me: because He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. David chose to serve the LORD and keep Him always before him. Let us do the same and keep Christ before us as the object of faith. We believe in Jesus that we might be justified by the faith of Jesus. Jesus authored our faith and He perfected it. We do not look at our faith, we look unto Jesus who exercised a perfect faith in God. Our faith may be weak. But if we exercise a weak faith in Him, He exercises a perfect faith in God for us. Therefore, we look unto Him. Next, let us keep Christ before us as the Light to direct us (John 8:12). We need someone to follow. It is not enough for the Lord to tell us where to walk. We need Him to precede us where we have an example to follow. There is no better support for this truth than Psalms 23:1-6. Jesus before the believer is the Light to direct. Next, let us set Christ before us as the Lord to be obeyed (John 13:14). Jesus always insisted that true discipleship was not an intellectual acquaintance with His teaching, but a cheerful compliance with His will. As Lord of all, He sought to bring the whole nature under His control; and as their Master and Lord, He assured them with authority that their true welfare lay in their not only knowing, but in their doing, His commandments.
