"Pure?"

“Pure?”

Blessings folk!

On to the next stanza of Psalm 119.
A question is asked.

Psalm 119:9-11
Beth.
9 How can a young man keep his way pure? By keeping it according to Your word.
10 With all my heart I have sought You; Do not let me wander from Your commandments.
11 Your word I have treasured in my heart, That I may not sin against You.

How can a young man (or an old one!) keep his way pure?
By keeping his way according to the Word of the Lord.

We are to do as the Psalmist...seek the Word of the Lord with all our heart.

Notice what the Psalmist does.
He seeks the Lord with all his heart…
He asks the Lord to keep him from wandering from the Lord’s commandments…
He treasures the Word of the Lord in his heart…

Why?

So that he may not sin against God.

We should do likewise.

This is why we must know the Word of the Lord.

Seek.
He shall be found.
