Bible Meditation: Psalm 119:5
Psalm 119:5—“Oh, that my ways were directed To keep Your statutes!”
We—the whole world—would be better off if every human followed this desire. None of us follow God’s commandments perfectly, but we can try. We can attempt to purify our hearts—as vain as that would be in an absolute sense—and we can pray that our “ways” can be “directed” to keep God’s statutes. This verse is a semi-prayer, a longing that every faithful child of God should have. The greatest struggle we have is keeping God’s commandments as we really want to. If you don’t have that struggle, search your heart.
