CLEANSE YOUR WAYS BY THE WORD – Daily Devotional

SCRIPTURAL TEXT:
“Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed there to according to thy word.

More than ever, there’s been a great need in our world today for purity- a long lost virtue which is lacking in almost every facet of life today. The struggle with sin and sinful habits continue to taunt men and women of high and low degree altogether. Even amongst believers, the great question of the Psalmist continues to echo loudly; “how shall a young man cleanse his way?!”

Our opening scripture gives us a profound revelation of the answer to this age long question. We see that the answer lies not in the strength of the human will or resolutions, but in the cleansing power of the Word of God,when it is meditated upon and received with meekness. You therefore need not remain in anguish of soul or condemnation about your ways; rather you are to give attention to filling up your heart with the Word of God daily, through meditation. This is God’s daily prescription for you if you must live clean and remain so.

So, you can cleanse your ways! You can overcome that weakness, and you can become a better person. Don’t say ‘I was neglected or abused when I was young that’s why I am this way’. That’s not the true you. If you will begin to meditate on the specific Word of God that relates to you, you will be cleansed and transformed into God’s opinion of you. Halleluyah!
