To Walk in the Way of the Lord

Salient Excerpt: As an illustration of this look at verses 9 and 11. ‘How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to your word…. I have stored up your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.’ Is that relevant for us today? The challenge for young men of his day is the same for our young men today. Purity in life and relationships can only be addressed when our desires are guarded and checked by God’s word, first and foremost. Many young men are messed up and even ruined, I would suggest, more by ignorance than by motive today. ‘How can a young man keep his way pure?’ Where is the word of God in your life, my friends? This is not just a quick fix, help you get through problems. If your life is more and more established in the word of God, young man, you will be the man God wants you to be. If it is not, if it is not, beware! Beware! You will look to other things and even yourself and you will find yourself saying, ‘My God, how did I get here?’
