This Psalm seems to recognize the tendency of the heart to go astray as the writer is pleading with God to direct his footsteps. - Turn my eyes TOWARD Your statutes and NOT toward SELFISH gain. Turn my eyes AWAY from WORTHLESS things. The last line is also significant - Preserve my life in YOUR righteousness.- We need the righteousness of God HIMSELF, not something of our own making that may look good to the religious eye, but eternally speaking, ends up being worthless, selfish gain.

I love this passage in the Bible because it sums up the spiritual reality in all difficult circumstances. How many times do we see the enemy and opposing forces against us, just like Elisha’s servant? And that puts us in a panic - yet the angelic armies of the Living God are unseen but present nonetheless, and far greater. We just need to see that substantial truth!
