Psalms 119:1-8

Overview:
You are blessed if you seek to be perfectly obedient to God and. You are also blessed it you seek to know God with every fiber of your being, and who rather than sin, do what He says. I desire to be one of those who continually are obedient to Your Word. Then my walk would be without shame because my eyes would be totally focused on Your Word. As I learn what Your Word says, I will praise you with a heart that is devoted to You. I will keep your Word, so don't leave me!
Application:
The writer wants to be one of those who keeps God's Word perfectly, who always does what is right and doesn't sin. But he knows better. He knows he is sinful. But he has set an awesome goal to do all that God says and to be a student of the Word.
Like David, I want to know God fully and to do all that He says, but I fall far short of that goal all the time. So what do I do? Give up? Say that I'm only "human," as though that is some excuse for sinning? God forbid that I should stay in that rut! Set the highest of goals before me, and strive with everything in my being to achieve it. I know I won't reach perfection this side of heaven, but that doesn't give me an excuse to live as I please and do as I wish. May my desires, be Your desires. May my heart abandon the things of this world, and be totally sold out to You!
