Obedience, Without Delay


I pondered the direction of my life,
    and I turned to follow your laws.
I will hurry, without delay,
    to obey your commands.

—Psalm 119:59-60 (NLT)


Heavenly Father,


Let this be my story, that I continue to tell for the rest of my life—that I pondered the direction of my life and I turned to follow Your laws; that I hurried, without delay, to obey Your commands.


To that end, remind me to make time to frequently stop and ponder the direction of my life—and to consider the extent to which I am hurrying, without delay, to obey Your commands.

Show me the state of my heart—and how my obedience (or my disobedience) to You is continually determining the course of my life—and help me turn down those paths of surrender, toward perfect submission to You.

Help me to be quick to follow Your commands—fully trusting that my obedience will always bring Your best for me, and the upmost glory to You.


Let this be my story, that I continue to tell for the rest of my life—that I pondered the direction of my life and I turned to follow Your laws; that I hurried, without delay, to obey Your commands.


In the name of Jesus, Amen.
