Psalm 119:15-16

 and consider your ways.
    I delight  in your decrees;
 I will not neglect your word.

Open my eyes that I may see
 wonderful things in your law.

How sweet are your words to my taste,

 a light  on my path.

Thoughts 

"If ever I reach heaven I expect to find three wonders there: first, to meet some I had not thought to see there; second, to miss some I had expected to see there; and third — the greatest wonder of all — to find myself there." - John Newton

"Only he who flings himself upward when the pull comes to drag him down, can hope to break the force of temptation. Temptation may be an invitation to hell, but much more is it an opportunity to reach heaven. At the moment of temptation, sin and righteousness are both very near the Christian; but, of the two, the latter is the nearer." - Charles H. Brent
