A Soul That Clings To Dust

Kay Arthur at Precept.org has a very inspiring message in her June newsletter. 
It is based on Psalm 119:25-40 and there is a download for a free lesson for these verses.

It is a wonderful focus on God's ways and and great message on where to direct our thoughts.
The author is under stress as he mentions that his soul clings to dust.  He weeps
because of grief.  He has taken some false ways and his eyes have looked at
things of vanity.  This could relate to almost anyone.

To God he says; 
Teach me Your statutes.  Make me understand the way of Your Precepts so I will meditate
on Your wonders.  Grant me Your law and give me understanding.  Strengthen me according
to Your word.  Enlarge my heart and guide me as I go the way of Your commandments.
Revive me in Your ways and through Your righteousness.  Establish Your word to me as that
produces reverence.
What a difference it would make to keep a focus on God's word and His ways.

I like to listen to Kaye Authur on the radio. You know her ministry is just right down the road from me in Chattanooga?

Yes, I would like to come to one of her training programs someday. I have been going to her studies for about 12 years here at a local church. Her lessons are so inspiring.
