TEXT: Psalm 119:9-16 (KJV)
9 Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.
10 With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments.
11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
12 Blessed art thou, O Lord: teach me thy statutes.
13 With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth.
14 I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches.

DCLM Daily Manna For Today MESSAGE:
When in 1977, the United Nations adopted March 8 of every year as International Women’s Day, it was moving in consonance with the word of God that gives women a key role as the keepers of the house (Psalm 113:9). The declaration salutes the female gender as partners in the divine scheme to raise godly generations, beginning in the home. Women bear the responsibility of building the family as the first teachers of the child, and therefore the ultimate molders and cleansers of society.

It is impossible to meet this goal without adherence to the totality of the Scriptures. “Wherewithal shall a young man (or the entire mankind) cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word”. Society cannot enjoy lasting peace, prosperity, and progress if it offers only secular education at home and in school. Nor can it hand over an enduring legacy to the generations to come without heaven’s input.
Repeatedly, history has taught that man’s problems have been self-inflicted as a result of his wilful rejection of God and His order of rules and regulations. Instead of delighting themselves in His statutes like the psalmist, men, and women thrill themselves with their fanciful scientific and technological inventions that leave them no time for their Maker. This is driving man along a journey of desolation, defeat, and death.
Although the Lord is enlisting men and women in the great project of morally cleaning up our communities, His charge is still that we must be guided by His Word. The process cannot be exclusively secular. There must be no carnal considerations to please man. His laws on living righteously and love for heaven and for fellow man as presented in the Bible must be the substructure of all what we build.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
True world sanitation begins with the Word’s dissemination.

1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
