Carefully And Consistently



You have charged us
    to keep your commandments carefully.
Oh, that my actions would consistently
    reflect your decrees!

—Psalm 119:4-5 (NLT)



Heavenly Father,


May my life in action be a consistent reflection of Your decrees applied to my heart.


You, LORD, have charged me with a great and awesome responsibility—to keep Your commandments carefully.

This means I must take the time to know Your instructions to me, by reading, studying and being taught in Your Word—the Bible.

This means I must meditate on Your Word—allowing Your Word to permeate my thoughts throughout my daily activities.

This means I must also act on the Word that has been planted in my  heart—allowing Your Spirit to control my actions—so that not only do I not do those things I shouldn’t do, but I also do those things I that I should.

Because of Your great and unending love for me, You have given me these commandments—so that as I am faithful to follow them, I can walk in the freedom, peace, protection, provision, and joy that they provide.


May my life in action be a consistent reflection of Your decrees applied to my heart.


In the name of Jesus, Amen.
