“9 How can a young man keep his way pure?
By keeping Your word.
10 I have sought You with all my heart;
dont let me wander from Your commands.
11 I have treasured Your word in my heart
so that I may not sin against You.
12 Lord, may You be praised;
teach me Your statutes.
13 With my lips I proclaim
all the judgments from Your mouth.
14 I rejoice in the way revealed by Your decrees
as much as in all riches.
15 I will meditate on Your precepts
and think about Your ways.
16 I will delight in Your statutes;
I will not forget Your word.”
Psalm 119:9-16
—
Purity is not stumbled upon accidentally. It must be intentionally sought out and pursued.
Read this passage again, a little more slowly, listening to what David is saying.
Read it a third time, putting yourself in His place, thinking about your own pursuit of purity.
Read it a fourth time, making it your prayer & ask God to do the purifying work in you that needs to be done so that He is glorified.
