Psalm 119:9-11 How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to your word. 10 With my whole heart I seek you; let me not wander from your commandments! 11 I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.

PURITY=adiaphthoria in the greek and mean incorruptibility, soundness, integrity, purity.

This scripture starts off with what is known as a rhetorical question. The author is not looking for an answer because he already knows it. He is really trying to drive home a point about maintaining purity.

David, in this text gives us some specifics on how to maintain purity through the Word of God. Let's listen to what he says. (1) Application of the Word daily into our lives, (2) seek God with our whole heart, (3) do not wander or stray away from God's commandments and (4) treasure God's Word and let our heart (mind) be the storage place where the Word of God resides within us.

David Himself declared to the Lord His God that "thy word have I hid in my heart so that I may not sin against you." Is this your declaration to the Lord your God on today?

Staying on the path of purity! Are you struggling? God has given you the remedy in His Word on how to get back on track.

Scripture declares this concerning God's Word in Psalm 119:105-Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. 

The call today to HUMANITY today is to "stay clean" by the washing of our minds with the Word of God so that we may not sin against God with the dirt of immorality that is plentiful and prevalent in this world in which we live.

God has given ALL OF US a way of escape from the world's filth! No more excuses! It's time to act on the Word of God!

God bless.
