MAKE ME

Ps 119:35
35 Make me walk in the path of Your commandments, For I delight in it. NASU
** Ok, so this really messes me up in my though process. I always have thought that if someone delighted in something, they would not have to be made to do it. Here David says “Make me walk…. For I delight in it.” I would suppose that it’s the same with all of us. We like the out come of being healthy, but we don’t want to work out or eat right to see the healthiness? That would make more sense to me. It’s kind of like when Paul was saying, “the things I want to do I do not do and the things I don’t want to do, I end up doing.” Here David makes his commitment strong and clear. “Sometimes I just don’t want to walk in the paths of Your commandments, so make me walk in them because in the end run, I really do delight in them.”
