Psalm 119:33-35
33 Teach me, O LORD, the way of your statutes; and I will keep it to the end.
34 Give me understanding, that I may keep your law and observe it with my whole heart.
35 Lead me in the path of your commandments, for I delight in it.
Matthew 6:30-34
“31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”
I lean toward being pig headed with an open mind. A saying of mine is “know what you know until you know something different”. In other words, if you know something, believe it. If you’re unsure, become sure. If your argument doesn’t hold up to debate, change your ways. Land somewhere.
Teach me, O LORD, the way of your statutes; and I will keep it to the end. Lead me in the path of your commandments, for I delight in it. I know the commandments to be true. I haven’t heard an argument that says it isn’t. Enough said. If you disagree, let’s discuss. But first seek His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
Seek first His righteousness; teach me, oh Lord, the way of your statutes.
The problem is that I know what I know and I’m having a hard time letting that go. It’s about me and I know what’s right is to make it about Him.
Lord, take away my fears, let me not worry about tomorrow, let me live today in your commandments and know that when I do that, you’ll take care of tomorrow. Let me know you the way you call us to know you.
Amen amen amen
