Re:Verse passage – Psalm 119:1–16 (day four)
“With all my heart I have sought You; Do not let me wander from Your commandments.” v. 10
As we walk through the Christian life, our goal is to be able to say we have sought the Lord with our whole heart. Truly, the Lord requires all of us. But as I continue to walk with the Lord, I continue to find parts of me that I have not yet submitted to him. It is a lifelong process to seek the Lord with our whole heart. As he takes us from glory to glory, we will continue to look like him with ever-increasing likeness.
We look forward to the day when we’re finally united with him completely, and we’re able to worship him purely with our whole heart, mind, and body. Until then, our prayer is the second half of verse 10, “Do not let me wander from Your commandments.” Though we are prone to wander, the Lord keeps us close through his Holy Spirit, through his Word, and through the community of believers.
