How can a young person stay on the path of purity?  By living according to Your word.  10I seek You with all my heart; do not let me stray from Your commands.  11I have hidden Your word in my heart that I might not sin against You.”  (Psalm 119:9-11, NIV)
 
The above scripture asks, “How can a young person stay on the path of purity?”  But, I believe this passage is just as important to every child of God, young and old alike.  The main point or argument of Psalm 119 is that a faithful child of God should meditate on God’s word so that they might establish themselves in the Lord.

I must trust God’s will is being done.
