Go by the Directions
J. R. Howatt. Psalm 119:9 Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to your word. Go by the directions. I saw a picture once which has stuck to my memory for years and years. It was a picture of a dark, wild, stormy night, and a traveller was standing up in the stirrups of his horse at a parting of the way, trying to read the directions on the finger-post. How eagerly he was looking! I can see him yet holding the lighted match carefully in his hand lest the wind should blow it out before he had read the directions l It was a good thing for him that there were directions, and it is a good thing we have them, too. Where are our directions? They are — the Bible. That is God's Word to us, telling us which road to take when we come to the parting of the way. Go by the directions Do what God says, and you will never go wrong. (J. R. Howatt.) Parallel Verses KJV: BETH. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word. WEB: How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word.
