Today and tomorrow we are going through Psalm 119 in our Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan. I love this Psalm because it is "all about the Word"! Verses 1-2:
1 Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) are the undefiled (the upright, truly sincere, and blameless) in the way [of the revealed will of God], who walk (order their conduct and conversation) in the law of the Lord (the whole of God’s revealed will). 2 Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) are they who keep His testimonies, and who seek, inquire for and of Him and crave Him with the whole heart.
Notice that even under the Old Covenant the people were never forsaken for making mistakes, but extremely blessed for obeying the Word! The main purpose for the Law is to show us our need for a Savior. The only person to ever keep the Law without fail (sin) was JESUS! That qualified Him to stand as our perfect representative before God! When we receive JESUS as Lord and Savior, there will never be condemnation from God for sin! There WILL be blessings for keeping (obeying) the Word, and when we DO sin, we have the way back provided (1 John 1:9) so that the enemy cannot gain entrance into our lives. To continue to knowingly sin after being born again invites the enemy into areas of our life that he has no legal right to be! I hope that you will choose to put God's Word as your final authority, standard of behavior and source of TRUTH! Blessings await!

Shalom in Him!
