Keep steady my steps according to your promise,
and let no iniquity get dominion over me.
(Ps 119:133)
I need steady steps. Keep on keeping on. Heading in the right direction. Slow and steady. While Paul and Hebrews talks about the Christian life as a race Psalm 119:133 makes me think of a trek. Get up every morning and ask the Lord to fulfill his promise to keep me going according to his plan. His plan to bring to completion the work he began in me (Phil 1:6).
A big part of that plan is to make sure that no inequity get dominion over me. Hebrews 12:1 tells me to get rid of sin that entangles me. But here in Psalm 119:133 is a prayer that it doesn't entangle me in the first place, or maybe after escaping it, never again to let it entangle me.
Make no mistake, if it entangles, it will dominate. Thank you, Holy Spirit, for giving me your power to untangle my sin and keep it from coming back to dominate me.
