Like Breathing - note added at end

God, help us to desire Your Word, to love it, enjoy it and soak it in, so that taking in Your Truth is like breathing to us.

Psalm 119:9-16


How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word.

I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands.

I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.

Praise be to you, O LORD; teach me your decrees.

With my lips I recount all the laws that come from your mouth.

I rejoice in following your statutes as one rejoices in great riches.

I meditate on your precepts and consider your ways.

I delight in your decrees; I will not neglect your word.

4-CA and me swinging. Love the delighted look on her face!

  3. Read this verse today and thought of you...

    The precepts of the LORD are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes. Psalm 19:8
