Psalm 119:33-40 “Teach me, LORD, the way of your statutes. I will keep them to the end. Give me understanding, and I will keep your law. Yes, I will obey it with my whole heart. Direct me in the path of your commandments, for I delight in them. Turn my heart towards your statutes, not towards selfish gain. Turn my eyes away from looking at worthless things. Revive me in your ways. Fulfil your promise to your servant, that you may be feared. Take away my disgrace that I dread, for your ordinances are good. Behold, I long for your precepts! Revive me in your righteousness.”

There are many ways this world defines success. Wealth. Happiness. Health. Influence. God defines success by our willingness to follow Him, and we see this reflected in the Psalmist’s prayer. Not only should we desire to keep God’s statutes to the end, but we need to recognize that we can’t do that without God’s help. How often do we pray to Him for revival, strength, direction, guidance, protection and desire?

Matthew 6:13 “Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For yours is the Kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. Amen.’
