verse of the day psalm 119: 37

"Turn my eyes from looking at worthless things; and give me life in your ways"

Psalm 119 is the longest chapter in the bible. This is fitting because the whole chapter is about God's word
the psalmist describes God's word in so many amazing ways and tells of all that come from following it.
In this verse it seems as though everything that is not first approached from the highest viewpoint of God's word is worthless, and since the psalmist finishes the verse by asking God to give him life, the worthlessness must mean death
This is the proper view of the importance of reading and obeying God's word. Knowing that searching after wisdom or pleasure in anything else will lead to death.
I pray that I may continually be turning my eyes to God's word so that my eyes would not be focused on the world.
Now the psalmist clearly does not mean that everything apart from God's word is worthless; things like family and friendship and hard work and love and so much more are great gifts from God, but can become worthless if God's word is not the root of our life with all of these things flowing from that
Enjoy the gifts of God along with the pleasure of His word
