Psalms 119:59
I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies.
Sometimes we need to stop and think about things. We should look BACK and see where we have come from. We should to AT where we are right now. See if anything has changed for the better or gotten worse. Then we should look FORWARD. Look at where we need to be in the days ahead.
David tells us that he was thinking about his ways. Can you take the time this morning, before you do anything else, to evaluate your life? To sit for a moment and take an inventory? Please just try it for 5 minutes. That's not much time. While you're thinking on your ways, ask yourself these questions.
Looking Back...
- What did I do right? Keep those things
- What did I do wrong? Let those things fall away
- What did God bring me through?
Looking At...
- Where is my relationship with Christ right now?
- What am I doing right?
- What am I doing wrong?
Looking Forward...
- Where do I want my relationship to go with Jesus?
- What can I do right?
- What can help me to stay away from wrong?
After David thought on his ways, he did the only thing he knew to do, which was/is the best thing we could ever do. He turned to the testimonies (The Word) of God. As you look back, look to His a Word for forgiveness. As you look at, Look to His Word for direction. And as you look forward, look to His Word for his will.
Think about it...
