The above scripture asks, “How can a young person stay on the path of purity?”  But, I believe this passage is just as important to every child of God, young and old alike.  The main point or argument of Psalm 119 is that a faithful child of God should meditate on God’s word so that they might establish themselves in the Lord. 

 

 

I don’t like it when I don’t get my way. My blood pressure elevates, the palms of my hands perspire and the tone of my voice raises an octave or two! Embarrassingly, I also become a little jealous and resentful of those who get what they want. Why them Lord? I feel called by You to do this. I work hard. I give You the credit for my accomplishments. Yet, what the Lord is waiting for me to express from my heart is, “Nevertheless, not my will, but Your will be done.” It’s ok to feel passed over, but not to stay there. I must trust God’s will is being done.
