Crave: Psalm 119: 1-8 NIV

1.Why do you think did the psalmist desire to walk in God’s decrees?
2.In verse 4, how should we respond to God’s precepts?
3.How much do you desire to walk in God’s Word? What steps do you think can help you live out what God says?

1. So that he would know what to do with his life and he would not be put to shame, committing mistakes that would cost him everything good even his life, itself.

2. We have to respond to it with full and right obedience. Obedience that is not half-done but done with all our heart and soul.

3. I desire it with all my heart but I stumble most of the time. I think I should live my life according to what His Words say. To live my life in full and all faithfulness.

The steps that I can undertake are just like these, spending time to read and think through everything that God has been leading me to read about His Word. To spend more time with His Word and to invest more of my time with Christian friends and others who can uplift my faith. I must remember that God works in my life. I am becoming impatient again, thinking that God has been stalling the things I have always wanted in my life. I must remember what the pastor in Victory said yesterday that during those times when God seems to be quiet and unresponsive, those are times that He gives me chances to become more faithful and just honest-to-goodness faithful to Him. I must remember to just keep on walking in His Word, to live by them and to remember them always. Sadly, sometimes my so-called "unbeliever" friends are the ones who remind me to become more faithful to God and to do the right thing.

Lord, help me to obey You and to walk according to what Your Word says. Thank you for this time, thank you for this moment. Amen.
