Psalm 119 - Qoph
145I cry out with my whole heart;
Hear me, O Lord!
I will keep Your statutes.
146I cry out to You;
Save me, and I will keep Your testimonies.
147I rise before the dawning of the morning,
And cry for help;
I hope in Your word.
148My eyes are awake through the night watches,
That I may meditate on Your word.
149Hear my voice according to Your lovingkindness;
O Lord, revive me according to Your justice.
150They draw near who follow after wickedness;
They are far from Your law.
151You are near, O Lord,
And all Your commandments are truth.
152Concerning Your testimonies,
I have known of old that You have founded them forever.
-Psalm 119:145-152
What is it that comes to mind when you consider doing something with a whole heart? Now would you say that is how you approach the Lord? When I think of a whole hearted pursuit, I think of the entire focus of one being upon that. What we see throughout this passage is that exact thing. There is a purpose in rising and a purpose in the nights to meet with the Lord. There is a hunger and a thirst for righteousness. Walk with a whole hearted pursuit after the Lord. Be zealous and diligent in communing with God morning and evening. Build the discipline that says you will continuously walk in His ways.
