Psalm 119:34-35
(34) Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy
law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.
How
important it is to follow God and His ways with our whole heart! Here, we are encouraged to observe (hedge about,
guard, protect, attend to, etc.) God's law with our whole heart. This is not half-way piddling in God's law, but
seeking, studying, and applying it - daily - to our lives.
"Blessed are they that
keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart." (Psalm 119:2)
"With my whole heart have
I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments." (Psalm 119:10)
(35) Make me to go in the path of thy
commandments; for therein do I delight.
Psalm
142:3 reminds us, "When my spirit
was overwhelmed within me, then thou
knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare
for me." God is watching over the path we're trodding and He is
offering us the path of His commandments. But until we delight in His
commandments, we will not desire to walk in that path.

Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer. (Psalm 19:14)
