Vs. 30 — I have chosen the way of truth; Your judgments I have laid before me.

Thomas Watson:

Religion is not a matter of chance, but of choice. Have we weighed things in the balance, and, upon mature deliberation, made an election,—“We will have God upon any terms?” Have we sat down and reckoned the cost,—or what religion must cost us,—the parting with our lusts; and what it may cost us,—the parting with our lives? Have we resolved, through the assistance of grace, to own Christ when the swords and staves are up? and to sail with him, not only in a pleasure-boat, but in a man-of-war? This choosing God speaks him to be ours: hypocrites profess God out of worldly design, not religious choice.

Prayer:

I have chosen the way of truth; Your judgments I have laid before me. You have made the way of truth clear to me and I declare that it is my way. By the guidance of Your word I will follow the way of Jesus, to walk as He walked. Your ways and judgments are mine.
