“Make me walk in the path of Thy commandments,
For I delight in it.”
Psalms 119:33-40 is one of my favorite passages. I pinned it up on the wall next to my desk in my basement study where I seek the Lord in the morning. I love this passage because it helps me remain utterly dependent on God. Each verse asks God to do something for me; teach me, give me, make me, incline me, turn my eyes, establish Thy word, turn away reproach, and revive me. God needs to do these things for me so that my life will become what it needs to be for His glory and my happiness. His taking action to do these things is the means by which I will persevere to the end, keep God’s word with all my heart, delight in God, not be greedy, not be vain, fear God, find God’s will and His word to be good, and long for God Himself. I want these things, and they all require God to do something for me so that I will be this kind of faithful person.
