King David was a fighter. A warrior. A soldier. These facts influenced his life and his writing.

As a soldier he knew that God was the commander and that what He commanded was to be obeyed. He knew that obedience meant the difference between life and death.

As a warrior David was able to defeat his enemies because he kept in constant communication with God. He forcefully and deliberately guarded his heart and mind by meditating on God’s commands.

Throughout his psalms David tells of his longing to know and understand God’s commands. He mentions several times that he meditated on and thought about God’s word throughout the day and night. By remembering and thinking about God’s word he was able to live in a way that pleased God.

In Psalm 119:4 David says, “You have ordained Your precepts, that we should keep them diligently”. God had given His commands and David’s desire was to obey.

Are we like David? Do we long to know God’s commands. Do we think about them night and day? Do we desire to obey?

God has given His commands and we are still to know them and "keep them diligently".
