Setting My Heart On You

I have chosen the way of faithfulness; I have set my heart on your laws.

Psalm 119:30

I have heard someone say that "everything is a matter of choice," and it's actually true. We all have to choose. It is our choice to do the right thing or the other way around. It is our choice whether to serve the Lord or to turn our backs on Him. We choose whether or not we are going to take our relationship with the Lord seriously or play games with Him. To be faithful or not.

But here in this verse, the psalmist chose the way of faithfulness and set his heart before God's commands. The psalmist knew that the only hope for him to stay on the faithful way was to place the ordinances of God before him. These ordinances are God’s gift to his children. They are the essential guide to keep us on the faithful way. If we choose to disregard the priority of God’s word in our lives, there is no possible way for us to stay on the faithful path.

Submit to the Word of God. Choose to be faithful, and set your heart on His laws. There is blessing in obedience.
