Crave: Psalm 119: 33-40 NIV

1.Whose help is the psalmist asking? What was he asking God to do for him?
2.What common hindrances or challenges stop people from living according to God’s Word?
3.How can God help you follow His Word today?

1. The psalmist was asking for God's help. He was seeking His guidance in his life. He was asking that God may give him understanding and yes, guidance so he can live his life in a meaningful manner led by Him.

2. Distractions. I think it depends on the person being "distracted". Like in my case, I am distracted by things about my relationship with other people and the opposite sex, things that I think are important etc., etc. I am also bothered by unfounded worries and concerns that would prove senseless in the end specially if I only had trusted God fully and faithfully. Those things indeed stop me from living according to His Word.

3. By reading and following His Word. By seeking His guidance and His wisdom. By reading on and digging deeply into the Bible.

In Your Words, Father, I gain insight and understanding. Help me Lord in all my ways. Thank You, Father. Amen.
