Lord, I want to keep Your words and capture Your commandments deep within me today. Doing this frees me to live a wonderful life. Your Word is the greatest thing in my life. It is the apple of my eye. It is so incredibly precious that I eagerly receive it deep within my heart. I choose to see, know and understand everything from Your perspective.

Are there any areas in my life that I am viewing from a human perspective and not Yours, Lord? Teach me what Your Word says about those areas so I can acquire your perspective today.

I love wisdom, so today I say to wisdom, "You are my sister." I am going to thankfully declare that understanding is my close friend. I know that as I do this, it will keep me away from wrong men and women. In fact, I'm going to let your wisdom keep me from wrong people and their flattery every day.

I know that no person is immune to temptation. I will turn from immoral people and listen to Your Words. I choose holiness today. Thank you, Lord, for caring so much for me.
