Psalm 119:33-40 (NLT)
I have trouble following Jesus’ example. How about you?
Sometimes we don’t feel kind, can’t find the energy to volunteer, prefer to relax with our favorite show than call a struggling friend, don’t remember to pray, and skip Sunday services. I know. It’s hard to keep God at the center of life. We’re pulled in so many different directions.
I have good news! God knows.
He knows we aren’t capable of making Him our center on our own. God initiates the relationship when we express interest.
What I noticed in this psalm is that the writer doesn’t promise to follow God by using self-discipline. He asks God to change his heart and reset his priorities, to give him the desire and understanding, to turn his eyes and direct his feet. I imagine God is just waiting for us to ask.
Let’s release our feelings of failure and admit our inability to be self-disciplined followers without God’s help. You may want to reread the scripture slowly, as a personal prayer.
Help me, God! Make me eager to follow your way.
