Psalm 119:9-16, ESV
Beth How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to your word. With my whole heart I seek you; let me not wander from your commandments! I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.
Blessed are you, O LORD; teach me your statutes! With my lips I declare all the rules of your mouth. In the way of your testimonies I delight as much as in all riches. I will meditate on your precepts and fix my eyes on your ways. I will delight in your statutes; I will not forget your word.
Psalm 119:9-16, JN paraphrase
Goal: Keep my way pure by:
1) Guarding my way according to the Word of the LORD.
2) Storing the Word in my heart
3) Examining possible actions against the lens of the Word.
4) Listening to the guidance of the HOLY SPIRIT.
5) Meditate, delight, remember.
