Let my cry come before you, O LORD; give me understanding according to your word! Let my plea come before you; deliver me according to your word. My lips will pour forth praise, for you teach me your statutes. My tongue will sing of your word, for all your commandments are right.
Understanding is not the end that You desire for me, my Lord, deliverance is not the goal, learning is not the final reward. No, glorifying You, pouring out praise, singing of Your word, living Your word, carrying Your word into the world, being Your ambassador; this is the goal that You set for me. May my obedience shine before You today.
