How can a young person stay on the path of purity? By living according to your word. Psalm 119:9 (NIV)
Have you ever noticed that when you tackle housework, you discover other parts of your house that also need cleaning? fixing my husband, this would apply to fixing things around the house – there’s always something else that needs repairs.
Regrettably, our lives are often the same way. Once we take a good, honest look at ourselves, we wonder at our sinful hearts.
So what is the remedy?
It begins with a desire to live in a way that aligns with God’s plan and purpose. We do this by reading, studying, and appropriating God’s word to our daily lives.
We will fail because we are human beings, living in a broken world. But when we filter our lives through God’s word, we come to understand our need for mercy and forgiveness each time we fall short.
Like David, we can begin by praying, “Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting” Psalm 139:23-24.
