Psalms to live by.

I bought this book at a bookstore the other day called Lady In Waiting: "Becoming God's Best While Waiting for Mr. Right" and have been using it as a devotional type study. So far, I love it! I encourage every single woman-young or old-to read it.

Yesterday and today I have been working on the challenge to read through the book of Psalms in the Old Testament and underline/circle the words "trust" and "rely upon" every time they appear(which just so happens to be A LOT). I could just skim through, since I have read the Pslams before, but instead, I decided to actually read every word out loud while I search for those keywords of "trust" and "rely upon." While reading this morning, I stumbled across this section of Psalms 119 (verses 9-16) that I have read a thousand times it seems, but it really hit home with me today, and in making this my prayer today, I wanted to share it with you guys as well!

How can a young man(woman) keep his way pure?

By living according to your word.

I seek you with all my heart;

do not let me stray from your commands.

I have hidden your word in my heart 

that I might not sin against you.

Praise be to you, O LORD;

teach me your decrees.

With my lips I recount

all the laws that come from your mouth.

I rejoice in following your statutes

as one rejoices in great riches.

I meditate on your precepts

and consider your ways.

I delight in your decrees; 

I will not neglect your word.
