Meditations From The Psalms, Part 4

"Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word." - Psalm 119:9

I have to ask myself why this exhortation is given to young men? Don't we all need this no matter what chapter of life we find ourselves in? Could it be that this is where the launching pad is? If an arrow leaves the bowstring just one inch off the mark, that inch will be multiplied through distance. A young man or woman must get their grounding in the areas of morality, ethics, character, and godliness early in life or the error will be multiplied in later years. That's the way I see things.
