Morning Direction From Scripture 6-2-20

Posted on by under Pastor Wrinkles

HE

33 Teach me, Lord, the way of your decrees,
    that I may follow it to the end.[b]
34 Give me understanding, so that I may keep your law
    and obey it with all my heart.
35 Direct me in the path of your commands,
    for there I find delight.
36 Turn my heart toward your statutes
    and not toward selfish gain.
37 Turn my eyes away from worthless things;
    preserve my life according to your word.[c]
38 Fulfill your promise to your servant,
    so that you may be feared.
39 Take away the disgrace I dread,
    for your laws are good.
40 How I long for your precepts!
    In your righteousness preserve my life. Psalm 119:33-40

What are some of the worthless things which tempt us to focus on them right now?

How do God’s statutes keep us from a mind set on selfish gain
