Read Psalm 119:105-112

¹⁰⁵  Your word is a lamp to guide me

and a light for my path.

¹⁰⁶  I will keep my solemn promise

to obey your just instructions.

¹⁰⁷  My sufferings, Lord, are terrible indeed;

keep me alive, as you have promised.

¹⁰⁸  Accept my prayer of thanks, O Lord,

and teach me your commands.

¹⁰⁹  I am always ready to risk my life;

I^b have not forgotten your law.

¹¹⁰  The wicked lay a trap for me,

but I have not disobeyed your commands.

¹¹¹  Your commandments are my eternal possession;

they are the joy of my heart.

¹¹²  I have decided to obey your laws

until the day I die.

Think

"I have decided to obey your laws until I die." - Ps 119:112

Although we decide to obey God's laws we know that somehow we won't get it right - in our own power.  The Psalmist also asks God for help - praying: "Teach me your commands."

Pray

Lord, 'Teach me your commands' write their meanings on my heart so that I will be able to live in obedience to you all the days of my life.
