Oh, what a question that King David penned for us. It is amazing that he would direct us through so many generations to wonder, is there a way to be pure, to find purity, in the world that we live in? He seemed to see himself, in the sheep that God had given him to tend. Wandering from lust to lust are sheep and so are we. What a beautiful observation that we can learn from? How do I direct my desires from the sordid and narrow, to the less base?
David answers us and finds some direction that he has given us, "by taking heed according to Thy word." "Thy word have I hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You."
Hiding God's word in our hearts and seeking God for daily wisdom and strength to pick our eyes back up from the dust, is the answer that David found to his problem and we would do well to learn the lessons that he learned, early in life.
