The Nugget:
Psalm 119:59 I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies. (KJV)
Psalm 119:59 I have thought about my life, and I have directed my feet back to your written instructions. (GW, God’s Word translation)
My Comment:
The cure for what ails us as individuals and the whole of all society is stated in this Psalm: Think carefully about your life and the direction you are going. When you do that, you will be led to turn back to God’s written instructions in the Bible. It is like a cause/effect relationship (Psalm 9:10).
Read the Bible more, study the Bible more, and you will grow more in your spiritual life and in your love for God’s Word.

2 TIMOTHY 3.16-17
All Scripture is given by inspiration of
God and is profitable for doctrine,
for reproof, for correction, for instruction,
in righteousness 17 That the man of God
may be adequate, equipped for training
in righteousness.

to Jesus have fled? When thru fiery
trials thy pathway shall lie, My grace,
all sufficient, shall be thy supply!
What more can we say than to you
He hath said—-To you who for refuge
To Jesus have fled!
