“Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed thereto according to thy word.” (Psalm 119:9)
This is the ninth in a series of ten Biblical questions. This question should be asked by every young man concerned about pleasing God with his life. It should be asked by every parent of young men and boys. It should be asked by every youth leader in every church who wishes to lead young men down a strait and narrow path.
But just asking the question is only the beginning. The answer to the question is given in the second half of this verse. Having the answer must be accompanied by heeding the answer.
It is amazing that God’s word, the Bible, is still the best guide to raising young men and women to be God fearing, productive and honorable adult men and women in today’s society. Jesus said, “Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.” (John 15:3) Young people need to give heed to the teaching of the Bible to stay clean spiritually, morally and emotionally.
