Psalm 119.10
Two topics but one goal
“With all my heart I have sought You; do not let me wander from Your commandments.” [Psalm 119.10 NASB]
A brief glance along the shelves in any Christian bookshop will reveal an abundance of good literature on the, at times, complex relationship between God’s sovereignty and man’s free will.
In this one verse, David briefly contrasts and connects these two theological points of view. For example, he does all that he can with his whole heart and, at the same time, he knows that he continually needs all the help that God can give him.
David was a man of spiritual and mental balance and he emphasizes God and man in a blessed and well-oiled hand-to-hand relationship.
We can see this same pattern in the life of the Lord Jesus. He trusted in God implicitly and He did not do what He wanted. For example, Jesus said, "The one who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone, because I always do what is pleasing to him" [John 8.29]
Would you like your relationship with God to be as fruitful and well balanced as the Lord's was? Then abide in the same love for God as Jesus did when He kept His Father's commandments [John 15:10] and trusted Him to do what was right. [David McArdle]
