[How] shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed according to thy word - Psalm 119:9
It was from a VBS song (guess it was at Ps Daniel Grimmer's church's VBS@ Abu Dhabi) that I first noticed of this verse in the Bible!! The question the psalmist ask is striking, he doesn't ask "Why?" Or, "Should a young man cleanse his way?" instead he asks how?? He doesn't ask why does does a young man/woman need mental, emotional, and physical purity because he knows it is important to God!! He is admitting of his frailty before a Holy God and asking God the best means to accomplish this purity!!
The solution to see the genuine flaws of character and mindset is to look into the mirror of God's Word! We do not have to do perform rituals to know and understand how to purify our life and to please God. All we need to do is take heed to and study God's Word, the Bible. Let us make His wisdom ours too and live by it.
