4 You have commanded us
To keep Your precepts diligently.
5 Oh, that my ways were directed
To keep Your statutes!
6 Then I would not be ashamed,
When I look into all Your commandments.—Psalm 119:4-6
You have commanded me to keep Your precepts diligently. Your precepts O LORD, are right, they are the rejoicing of my heart. Your commandment is pure, enlightening my eyes. Oh Father! I want this in my life...oh that my ways WERE directed by Your Spirit to keep Your statutes. You desire this for me too...that I would fear You and keep all of Your commandments always. You want this because You love me and want what is best for me. You desire my good. You want it to be well with me...I love that that is Your heart toward me! Obedience is the path of blessing! Write Your law upon my heart. The steps of a good man are ordered by the You, and You delight in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; For you uphold him with Your hand. Uphold me, Father, with Your righteous right hand. May Your word be to me a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. In Your grace to me keep my conscience tender...keep me abiding, respecting Your commandments and unashamed before You. Make me perfect in every good work to do Your will. Work in me what is well pleasing in Your sight.
