10With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments.
11Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
12Blessed art thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes.
13With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth.
14I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches.
15I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways.
16I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word.
Key Verse: “I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word.” Psalm 119:16
Message
Some children easily forget themselves when it comes to play, food, drinks, friends, films and relations. Such children also forget the fear of God and get carried away by unprofitable freedom and pleasure. Our topic is a personal warning and promise. It is good to always warn yourself, else you become careless and do what God does not expect from you. Samson forgot God, forgot God’s word, forgot the work of God, forgot obedience to his parents, forgot righteousness; and he died a shameful death.

The psalmist instructs us that instead of forgetting God’s word, we should delight in it. We should remember its instructions wherever we go and be happy to obey God. What do you want to do today? Where are you going to and who do you plan to meet? Do everything according to God’s word in a way that will bring glory to the Lord. Do not forget the word of the Lord in your thoughts, word and action.

Prayer for today: Lord, help me to be happy to obey Your word in all that I will do and say today.
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)
