Psalm 119:10 “With my whole heart I have sought thee: O let me not wander from thy Commandments.” Comment: Dion back in the 1960’s had a hit song named, “The Wanderer.” Some of his lyrics went like this; “She wore pearls and diamonds galore, she bought them down at the five and ten cent store, she though she was Za Za Gobor, but she was just the girl next door!” The Hebrew word wander used here means a gradual moving away from God! It is not abrupt as one would notice it! It is like the frog in the water pot. If you put him in boiling water directly he will jump out! However if you put him in cold water and gradually turn up the heat he will boil to death! People that move away from God do it in gradual steps! Bible reading becomes less and less important to you. Church attendance gradually drops off. His Commandments are gradually ignored. Tithes and offerings become too great a sacrifice for you! Sin becomes desirable when at one time it offended you! You begin to hang around people who have a contempt for God! Your soul no longer shudders within when people curse his name! You become immune to Holiness! You embrace sin and disgrace God! You are no longer pursuing God but the things of this world! King David recognized that this can come to any of us! We are to have the mind of Christ! As a man thinketh so is he! The mind of God is contained in your Bible! Meditate on his word! Memorize his word! Speak his word! Confess his word over your life! Let his promises become yours! Holy thoughts replace wicked thoughts! Repentance comes and a change of heart! No longer a divided heart with instability but a whole heart towards God with stability and confidence! Greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world! Peace and joy come only in relationship to Christ! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
