Psalm 119:31-34

Overview: 
David begs God to help him to: not let him be put to shame; expand his understanding of the Scriptures; teach him the principles contained in the Word; give him understanding of what he is reading.
Then he promises to: cling to; pursue Bible study; keep all the principles in the Bible; obey and put into practice what he has read. Then, further promises to do these things "with my all my heart."
Application:
We so often say we want to understand God's Word; to have Him enlighten us on every nuance that it contains. BUT - am I willing to vow to God to pursue, keep, obey and practice all that I read??!! I know that is the desire of my heart, but I feel so undisciplined in this area - whether it's because I want to go my own way, or the lack of time spent in the Word compared to how much time I have available to be in the Word. I know enough that God does not want me to make vows only to break them. I believe my prayer should be: "Lord, you know my heart and you know my weaknesses. Make me desire to know you and your Word. Put the thirst inside of me that can only be quenched with time spent with you. Don't allow me to be satisfied with anything else the world has to offer, because it has no eternal value. Only Your Word can satisfy!!"
