Psa 119:29 | MHM | STEP | v. 29 : David asks God, Remove from me the way of lying . He knows that when life is hard, it can be tempting to lie or use tricks to escape trouble. David remembers times when he lied to Ahimelech and Achish (1 Samuel 21:2, 13; 27:10 ). He prays that God will keep him from falling into this sin again. Every believer should ask God to help them stay honest, even when it is difficult. David prays, Grant me thy law graciously . He wants God’s law not just in his hand, but in his heart. Even though David had written a copy of the law himself, he asks God to help him love and understand it more (Deuteronomy 17:18 ). God’s law is a wonderful gift, and we should thank God for it, ask Him to help us know it better, and see it as a sign of His kindness to us.
