Day 6 Tuesday Matthew 7:24-27

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?

Lord, through your spirit, enable me to be like the wise man who followed your plan. Convict me and make me who you want me to be. Thank you for your redeeming love and powerful jealousy for me; I will NEVER be able to do enough to deserve it in any way. I love you.
