Psalm 119:9-11
How can a young man keep his way pure?
By guarding it according to your word.
By guarding it according to your word.
With my whole heart I seek you;
let me not wander from your commandments!
I have stored up your word in my heart,
that I might not sin against you.
let me not wander from your commandments!
I have stored up your word in my heart,
that I might not sin against you.
the question is, do we seek God with our WHOLE HEART, or do we let anything and everything stand in the way? Only when we seek God with our entire life can we keep our ways pure. Only when we are seeking God completely does scripture truly become guarded in our hearts because it is treasured and is more than words to memorize or small sayings to attempt to validate our faith in the eyes of the world. This has been something that I have been seeing more and more in scripture. This theme of completely giving yourself over to God, yet how often do we actually do it? The Christian life needs to be more than a fad or a part time commitment to us, however, reality is that we often look to ourselves and the world more than God and his word. The Bible says "blessed is he that endures" many times through scripture but I have seen it frequently in revelation. The question is, do we seek God with our WHOLE HEART (as opposed to most or none of us) and do we FIGHT TILL THE END EVERYDAY (as opposed to a Sunday, Wednesday, or partial commitment)? Everyday and every part of your life matters to God, does it matter to you enough to give it to your King?
