Key Verse

“Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD” (Psalm 119:1).

Text — Psalm 119:1-8

Message

Daniel purposed in his heart not to defile himself with the food of the Gentile, idolatrous King and was found ten times better. Joseph fled defilement and immorality and was lifted from the prison to the palace. Ruth forsook idolatry and did not join her contemporaries to run after young men in her youthful days and became an ancestress of our Lord Jesus Christ. Esther kept herself pure and was promoted to the palace where she wrought deliverance for her nation. These are unique stories of people who centred their lives on pleasing God and living for His glory at all costs. They were undefiled privately and publicly.

God is still in the business of blessing boys and girls who will seek to serve Him with their whole hearts; who will do no iniquity and walk in strict obedience to His Word. Have you defiled yourself with fornication, pornography and internet fraud? You need to repent and emulate the likes of Daniel, Joseph, Ruth and Esther who sacrificed everything to please God even in difficult times.  You can choose to be like them today!
