Day 2

Psalm 119:9-16
“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( ‭ESV‬‬)

There’s this moment in the book of John after Jesus was resurrected and began appearing to disciples that John makes a statement that should make us love the Bible and ultimately love Jesus. In John 20:30-31, he communicates two important things:

  1. The whole Bible. All 66 books, it still does not contain all that Jesus did (30). 
  2. The purpose of the Bible is “so that you may believe in Jesus” and “have life” (31). 

So in studying Psalm 119 this month, always connect what you are reading with Jesus the Messiah. The Word we “delight in” and “never forget” according to today's psalm is ALL about Jesus! 

So to answer this passage's question “How can a young man keep his way pure?” We look to the Son. We look to Jesus.
