Turn My Head. Psalm 119:33-40

There's a wonderful life for you inside the way of the Lord. His ways are blameless and pure and lead to life everlasting. God has set up boundaries for us because they keep us where life can be found. Moving outside the boundaries takes you into darkness, and while the night may be exhilarating for a moment despair is right around the corner. The way of the Lord is not burdensome, it's the darkness that will break your back.

Psalm 119:33-40
33 Teach me, O LORD, to follow your decrees;
then I will keep them to the end.
34 Give me understanding, and I will keep your law
and obey it with all my heart.
35 Direct me in the path of your commands,
for there I find delight.
36 Turn my heart toward your statutes
and not toward selfish gain.
37 Turn my eyes away from worthless things;
preserve my life according to your word.
38 Fulfill your promise to your servant,
so that you may be feared.
39 Take away the disgrace I dread,
for your laws are good.
40 How I long for your precepts!
Preserve my life in your righteousness.
