Psalm 119:9-10  Keeping Our Way Pure

10/15/2013

0 Comments

 
Scripture:
How can a young man keep his way pure?
By keeping it according to Your word.
With all my heart I have sought You;
Do not let me wander from Your commandments.  -Psalm 119:9-10, NASB 1995

Observation:
-a pure life is attainable  if you obey God.
-The psalmist sought God with his whole heart.
-It is God at work in us that can change us.

PictureMy nephew getting lessons on how to chop wood.
We teach our children many things, but the most important thing we can give them is a love for God's word.  All the self-help books in the world will be no match for the words of life found in their Bibles.  

The application for me is hard to miss in these verses.  I too desire to keep my way pure, but I am no longer young and certainly not a man, still the same truth applies.  I need to live according to God's word.  If I intend to only invest half of my heart into this endeavor I will miss out on the greatest of blessings.  You see, it is not just a way fo life that lie within the pages of our Bibles, God is revealed to us there.  I approach each day that I pick up my Bible and read as a chance to know God more.  To learn about Him so that I can be an imitator of God. (Ephesians 5:1)

Just like my nephew desired to be more like his dad and so gratefully listened as he was taught how to chop wood that day, I desire to be more like my Father in heaven.  What greater ambition could we possibly have? So I gratefully listen to God's word; for I long for Him, somedays even with my whole heart.  Oh, how I pray that I will not wander from His ways.

The results of listening well to his father's directions....some very pleasant times spent sitting around a campfire.
Grace, Peace, and Mercy,
