How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to your word. With my whole heart I seek you; let me not wander from your commandments! I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.
Lord, I store the Word, pour it into my heart each day but without Your Holy Spirit to quicken it to me, I am clueless. And it is not that the Spirit does not speak to me, it is that I do not listen. The Word must be stored in a listening heart; if the ears of the heart are plugged with self, there is no obedience. Open the ears of my heart, Lord, open the ears of my heart.
