With my whole heart I seek you; do not let me stray from your commandments. I treasure your word in my heart, so that I may not sin against you. Blessed are you, O Lord; teach me your statutes. (Psalm 119: 10-12)

Given human tendencies it is not surprising that the psalms are often demanding, accusing, fearful, impatient, and self-justifying.

But out of this messy mix occasionally emerges significant self-awareness. From the muck a diamond suddenly glistens.

I read your word. I know your principles. But I need to be with you. I need your teaching, dear God. Help me to walk with you.

May I seek you with my whole heart.

Above is Wholeness. Artist is unknown.
