Psalms 119:10. With my whole heart have I sought thee:
Can you each one say that, "With my whole heart have I sought thee"?
Psalms 119:10. O let me not wander from thy commandments.
"For, though I have sought thee with my whole heart, yet my heart may in the future go astray. Do not permit it, Lord; do not permit it." It is a very sorrowful thought to me, that there are many, who once sat in these seats, and resolved to maintain a holy life, who, nevertheless, are, at this moment, in the seat of the scornful, some perhaps in prison, and many of them where they ought not to be. They determined to be right; but, destitute of divine grace, they have gone astray; therefore, let each of us pray, "O let me not wander from thy commandments." You know what John Bradford used to say when he saw a man taken out to be hanged, "There goes John Bradford, but for the grace of God." And when you see others wander, you may say the same about yourself, and then breathe the prayer, "O let me not wander from thy commandments."
