Consider your life

Scripture

I pondered the direction of my life, and I turned to follow your laws. (Psalms 119:59 NLT)

I thought about my ways, And turned my feet to Your testimonies. (Psalms 119:59 NKJV)

When I think on my ways, I turn my feet to your testimonies; (Psalm 119:59 ESV)

I have considered my ways and have turned my steps to your statutes. (Psalm 119:59 NIV)

I consider my ways, and I turn my feet to Your testimonies. (Psalms 119:59 MEV)

Observation

1. I am to ponder, think about, and consider my ways, the direction of my life.

A. Ponder- to consider something deeply and thoroughly; meditate (often followed by over or upon ).  To weigh carefully in the mind

—verb (used with object)

B. Think- to have a certain thing as the subject of one's thoughts: I was thinking about you. We could think of nothing else.

C. Consider- to pay attention to; regard:

2. I am to turn my feet to follow your laws, your testimonies, and your statues.

Application

I am to consider my life deeply, to weigh my life in my mind.  To pay attention to my life and have it as the subject of my thoughts.

I, at times, need to evaluate my ways, the direction of my life.   Where I have strayed from God's word, I need to make a course correction, what I am following God's word, I continue forward.  

I do not live life aimlessly or directionless.  I consider my life and adjust it according to the word of God.  I do not adjust God's word to me, but me to it.

Prayer

Search me and see if I have strayed from your word.  Bring me into compliance to your ways.  I desire to walk a narrow road that leads to you.
