God Provides (by Rhonda Sawtelle)
Psalm 119: God's Word....
vs. 3–5: Provides Direction
Ways: of moral action and character
Directed: in moral sense, be directed aright, faithfulness
To Keep: Keep: take heed to self, to hedge about (as with thorns), i.e. guard; to protect, be circumspect
Statutes: commandment
What is your wish? What do you dream of? The best wish would be that we live a life pleasing and honoring God.
As I studied that meaning of the words in Psalm 119:5, the word "Faithfulness" stood out. How I would personally translate Psalm 119:5 "My desire is that I'd be faithful to obey God's Word."
Faithful. Faithfully obey God.
What good is having directions, if you don't follow them? God clearly states what we are to do and how we are to live. Want true happiness and joy? Then be faithful to the obedience to His Word.
