Scripture lesson: Psalm 119:33-40 God's leadership
Time to reflect: None of us like rules and regulations and are inclined to ignore them if we can. Generally speaking we're pretty good at selecting only the Biblical rules that we find easy to live up to. But the Psalmist is asking God's help in learning, knowing, obeying a much wider range of commandments from God.
Moving through the day: Since this is a prayer, try praying it as if it was from you.
NRS Psalm 119:33 Teach me, O LORD, the way of your statutes, and I will observe it to the end. 34 Give me understanding, that I may keep your law and observe it with my whole heart. 35 Lead me in the path of your commandments, for I delight in it. 36 Turn my heart to your decrees, and not to selfish gain. 37 Turn my eyes from looking at vanities; give me life in your ways. 38 Confirm to your servant your promise, which is for those who fear you. 39 Turn away the disgrace that I dread, for your ordinances are good. 40 See, I have longed for your precepts; in your righteousness give me life.
