Psalms 119:34
Give me insight so I can do what you tell me--
my whole life one long, obedient response.
The Message paraphrases a little freely here but does get to the point of what is important. The psalmist asks for insight for the purpose of obedience. The NASB translates it:
Give me understanding, that I may observe Your law
And keep it with all my heart.
It is a good thing that we desire our lives to be one long, obedient response. This is good for us and it honors God.
May we seek with the psalmist insight and understanding into God's ways and commands, and may our highest joy be obedience to him.
