Psalm 119:59: I have considered my ways and turned my feet back to your testimonies.
When you have a rule book or instruction manual and continue to follow it, you tend to get things done in the right way... But when you start to guess your own ways instead of following the instructions, things go astray!
God wants us to be safe and secure, which means we should be following his instruction at all times.
Our bibles are those instructions and we should be consulting them all the time - not putting it aside and seeing how we get on without the law!
When we know the right way through instructions, we can follow those ways easier than if we do not!
