How can a young person live a pure life?
By obeying Your word.
With all my heart I try to obey You.
Don't let me break Your commands.
I have taken Your words to heart
so I would not sin against You.
Psalm 119:9-11
Because I love Your commands more than gold, more than pure gold,
And because I consider all Your precepts right, I hate every wrong path.
Psalm 119:127-128
Your word is a lamp to my feet
and a light for my path.
Psalm 119:105
God's word has become so precious to me in the past few months. The more I read it, the more I want to memorize it. I can hear God's voice more clearly when I am in His word. I can have so much more patience when I've read the Bible. I find I have that life-line to Him securely fastened as I meditate throuhout my day on His word.
The key to abiding is God's word.
It is how we abide - by staying in His word.
