Fantastic Friday #880 - Precepts

Precepts

27 Cause me to understand the way of your precepts,
that I may meditate on your wonderful deeds.
28 My soul is weary with sorrow;
strengthen me according to your word.
29 Keep me from deceitful ways;
be gracious to me and teach me your law. Psalm 119:27-29

Do we sometimes find that God's precepts are hard to digest or decipher? We can get caught up in our work and life and get distracted from the direction that God wants us to go, and this can have some consequences. I find myself at times questioning the precept that is laid in front of me, and that is my first mistake. We should never question the direction, but should ask a different question. How can I accomplish this direction that you have given me? Usually these precepts cannot be done on your own, they may require other people to hold you accountable, or they may require great introspection of your life and your current path. The enemy will be deceitful with you and tell you that you don't need to follow that path, and there are easier ways. We should all know right now that God creates these directions for us to learn and rely on Him for guidance. Keep the precepts and meditate on what He has done in your life. It will make the direction much smoother if you ask the right question, for help.

Have a great weekend.

Matt
