Psalm 119:5 NLT Oh, that my actions would consistently reflect your decrees!
Let me revise this a little: Oh, that my actions would consistently reflect my love and respect of You. I believe this is the same thing, for obeying God's decrees would demonstrate love and respect. I wish I could say that I am consistent in obeying. I am like Paul when he says he wants to do right but does what is wrong. Of course, this isn't always the case but I do sometimes fail or choose to fail.
Isn't that the awful part? Sometimes I choose to fail? But that is really what happens. I go through the thought process and choose to go ahead do whatever it is.....like eating what I shouldn't (gluttony) or not showing up as a volunteer when I think I should or whatever the case may be. I am not fully devoted to obeying! That is a painful realization!
God, Please forgive me. I pray that You continue to convict me. At some point, I hope that my actions will consistently reflect Your decrees!! Help me! Amen
