Unmasking The Undefiled
Monday, September 29, 2025Key Verse
“They also do no iniquity; they walk in His ways” (Psalm 119:3)
Text —Psalm 119:1-3
Message
Waldemar Semenov was an engineer on a US ship during World War II (1942) when a German submarine surfaced and opened fire on the ship. The ship began to sink. Semenov and his crew lowered a lifeboat into the water and used the vessel’s compass to sail toward the shipping lanes. For three days, they sailed before they were rescued. Thanks to God for that compass; Semenov and twenty-six other crew members were rescued. God’s word is the guiding compass for youths on the path of righteousness.
The Psalmist in the passage above shows a direct relationship between living by the word of God and an undefiled life. We can only keep our purity of heart and life if we will consciously read the Bible daily, meditate and prayerfully sink all that is read in the heart. Attempting to live righteously without constant obedience to God’s word is an effort in futility. To live by the word of God, a youth must first yield his/her life to Christ and renounce the life of sin. He/she must also pray for grace to hearken to God’s Word.
