And I want to know his secret.
What compels the psalmist to pursue the teachings of God regardless of the hour? To chase after God’s will with urgency and love God Himself wholeheartedly?
It’s not perfection, because the unnamed author of this Psalm openly admits failure to fully follow God’s decrees. “Oh, that every part of my life would remain in line with what You require!” he exclaims (v. 5).
I take another sip from the not-round rim of my mug, grateful a deep love of God’s Word doesn’t hinge on my ability to live a holy, impeccable life. With all its dents and dimples, my Rae Dunn mug still holds 16 ounces. And similarly, my imperfection surrender and limited understanding and straying thoughts and selfish impulses don’t stop God from filling me with Himself through His Word.
