“How can a young man stay pure? By reading your word and following its rules. I have tried my best to find you – don’t let me wander off from your instructions.”

I love this whole Psalm. I encourage you to read it in its entirety. It is so strong, urgent and heartfelt; so pertinent for Christians today. This verse stands out because it asks a simple question and gives a clear answer. When you want to find God, pick up the Bible and read.

FATHER, WHEN I AM DOWN OR FEELING ALONE, PLEASE REMIND ME THAT YOU HAVE SO MANY THINGS YOU WANT TO TELL ME, SO MANY ASSURANCES OF LOVE AND FORGIVENESS YOU WANT ME TO KNOW ABOUT AND ALL I HAVE TO DO IS SET ASIDE A FEW MOMENTS TO READ YOUR LOVING WORDS. AMEN.
