Fix My Eyes On Your Ways

How can young people keep their way pure? By guarding it according to your word. With my whole heart I seek you; do not let me stray from your commandments. I treasure your word in my heart, so that I may not sin against you. Blessed are you, O LORD; teach me your statutes. With my lips I declare all the ordinances of your mouth. I delight in the way of your decrees as much as in all riches. I will meditate on your precepts, and fix my eyes on your ways. I will delight in your statutes; I will not forget your word.

Psalm 119:9-16

Untended places can be breeding grounds for sin. Wrong thinking, poor attitudes, and sinful behavior all create problems that require significant attention to correct. The wise path is to recognize our need to tend our hearts by staying in God’s Word and embracing its truths.

With a focus on the Word, we can build strong spiritual lives that will help us avoid the dangers that inevitably grow in untended places.

To grow spiritually strong, read the Word.
