This morning while reading Psalm 119:58 "I entreated Your favor with my whole heart:" The word "entreated" intrigued me, and I begin to read it over and over. As I begin to study it's meaning I found that the word comes from Strong's Number 8765, the word "Piel". Piel usually expresses an "intensive" or "intentional" action.
Verse 59-60 then says, "I thought about my ways, And turned my feet to Your testimonies. I made haste, and did not delay to keep your commandments." Oh, how easy it is to delay ...
God I pray that my eyes would be intensively fixed on you. That I would pursue you, your favor, intentionally.
What could matter more in the world than finding favor in your sight.
Oh God, that I would turn from "my" ways and seek you - Running hard after you. Holding nothing back. It's what you desire, It's what my soul longs for ... a passionate pursuit of you, my creator, my lover, my friend!
