Psa 119:59-I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies. Reminds us that we all need to reflect on our behavior and see if we need to adjust our walk accordingly. The prodigal came to himself (Luke 15:17-18) before he returned to his father. Pro. 4:26 tells us to Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established. The pattern is to think and then turn in our behavior. Hear Spurgeon-...While studying the word he was led to study his own life, and this caused a mighty revolution. He came to the word, and then he came to himself, and this made him arise and go to his father. Consideration is the commencement of conversion: first we think and then we turn. When the mind repents of ill ways the feet are soon led into good ways; but there will be no repenting until there is deep, earnest thought... A person cannot turn his feet until he thinks on his ways. It is of the upmost importance to continually resort to behavior change. Matthew Henry adds-...He determined to make the word of God his rule, and to walk by that rule. He turned from the by-paths to which he had turned aside, and returned to Gods testimonies. He turned not only his eye to them, but his feet, his affections to the love of Gods word and his conversation to the practice of it... It is a basic rule of discipleship. What we learn from the Bible, we put into practice. The result is that our lives are changed! Good teaching or instruction always leads to good or changed behavior! Do your feet need turning? Change your thought process and it will happen! May God give you the desire and strength to change!
