S: I have considered my ways and have turned my steps to Your statutes. I will hasten and not delay to obey Your commands.
O: *The Psalmist lists all he has done through versus 57-59...he has promised, he has considered, and he has sought.
* He promises to obey God's Word, but promises we break....
*SO, he then sought God's face because he can't keep his promise and needs God to be gracious to him
* Next, he considers all he has done and how he has gone about trying to please God
*Lastly, he realizes that he has considered his ways and they have failed him and he needs to obey God as quickly as possible. He needs to hasten to obey God's commands.
A: That is typical of me. I promise to obey God and His Word, but inevitably I fail because making promises doesn't change my heart. So, then I must seek Him and His face to receive His grace to live for Him. And as I am gifted His grace, I must consider my ways and come to the conclusion that my way doesn't work and I must follow God's way. As I do that, God meets me and shows me what I need to do, and then I must choose to obey hastily. I cannot delay in my obedience.
P: WOW! God, my eyes were opened. You have sown me what it looks like for me t choose obedience to You. I am so thankful You how me my ways are futile, but that Yours are life-bringing! May I surrender my will to Yours continually!
