Psalm 119:8-9   “I will obey your principles.  Please don’t give up on me!  How can a young person stay pure?  By obeying your word and following its rules.”

Please don’t give up on me! 

I wonder how many people have made that request of the Lord and of others?

The desire is to obey, to follow, to search, to walk with the Lord.  Yet at times I don’t.  I try on my own or I walk in a different direction.  Fortunately I am reminded that obedience is the key, in my relationship with the Lord.  It is a battle between my will and being obedient to God’s will.  How can I do this?  By obeying God’s Word and following His rules.  Not rules imposed upon me by a ruthless unknown ruler.  They are rules given to me by a loving father that I can follow because of this love relationship I have with Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit to help me.

Praise God he won’t give up on me!!!  Thank you Lord for your grace and for you constant love.
