Day 5 Monday Psalm 119:9-11

NLT

9 How can a young person stay pure?

By obeying your word and following its rules.

10 I have tried my best to find you—

don't let me wander from your commands.

11 I have hidden your word in my heart,

that I might not sin against you.


The Message

9How can a young person live a clean life?
By carefully reading the map of your Word.

10I'm single-minded in pursuit of you;
don't let me miss the road signs you've posted.

11I've banked your promises in the vault of my heart
so I won't sin myself bankrupt.

In a world that is not pure how can I stay pure?


I think I know the answer already but I choose not to live it out. As a Christ follower I know that If I obey HIS word and follow HIS word then I will have a clean life. But I try different things in my life before I obey Him and every time it ends in pain.

Father, help me to take hold of you word in my heart so that I will not sin against you. Help me give my whole life to the UNCREATED ONE.

Question: What are the things in your life that you go to before you go to God and His Word?

Father, your word I have hidden in my heart that I might not sin against you. Thank you for the reminder of why I need to read my Bible over and over and over again. Thank you that, when I am in a situation, or have a question, or someone I know is talking to me about a situation or question that they have, your Holy Spirit brings a piece of scripture to mind that is EXACTLY the answer I need.
