How does a young man keep his way pure?

Psalm 119: 9-16

How can a young man cleanse his way?
By taking heed according to Your word.
¹⁰ With my whole heart I have sought You;
Oh, let me not wander from Your commandments!
¹¹ Your word I have hidden in my heart,
That I might not sin against You.
¹² Blessed are You, O Lord!
Teach me Your statutes.
¹³ With my lips I have declared
All the judgments of Your mouth.
¹⁴ I have rejoiced in the way of Your testimonies,
As much as in all riches.
¹⁵ I will meditate on Your precepts,
And contemplate Your ways.
¹⁶ I will delight myself in Your statutes;
I will not forget Your word.

There are many things we can do, but keeping it according to God’s word is a big step. But its more than just know God word, it goes deeper than that.

Rejoicing in God’s ways, meditating in God’s ways and having delight in God’s ways are things that can only truly happen once we have had the life of Christ and His sacrifice for us in bedded in our hearts.

The best way a young man can live pure is fully getting to know God. That my friends is living for the Word and with the Word and its a living and active thing, not a dusty book!
