Direct Me In The Path Of Your Commands

Teach me, Lord, the way of your decrees, that I may follow it to the end. Give me understanding, so that I may keep your law and obey it with all my heart. Direct me in the path of your commands, for there I find delight. Turn my heart toward your statutes and not toward selfish gain. Turn my eyes away from worthless things; preserve my life according to your word. Fulfill your promise to your servant, so that you may be feared. Take away the disgrace I dread, for your laws are good. How I long for your precepts! In your righteousness preserve my life.

Psalm 119:33-40

What would happen if you lost your internet connection? Would you be worried? What would happen if you lost your connection to God? Would you be worried?

We keep our connection with God alive by spending time in His Word and in prayer.

The writer of Psalm 119 recognized the importance of a connection with God. He asked God to teach him His statutes and give him understanding of His law. Then he prayed that he would observe it with his whole heart, walk in the path of God’s commandments, and turn away his eyes from looking at worthless things. By meditating on God’s Word and then applying it, the psalmist stayed “connected” to God.

God has given us His Word as a lamp to our feet and a light to our path to lead us to Him.
