What is the greatest blessing God could bestow upon you in this world? Of all the good things he could give you, what should claim your greatest desire? What do you want the most? Psalm 119:17 gives us David’s answer: “Deal bountifully with Your servant, that I may live and keep Your word.” He asks that God would give him life, but not as an end in itself. He prays for life as a means to a higher end. The greatest blessing God can give us in this life is a heart that is inclined to obey His word. That is what David fervently seeks from the infinite resources of God. He valued such a heart above all things. Having a heart that desires to do the Lord’s will opens the door to a multitude of other blessings. We are not here merely to live, but to serve and glorify God, seeking to please Him in everything we do.
