Any time I entertain sinful thoughts I\u2019m worshiping the devil and not God.  To worship God is to live a life for him doing the things that would please him and when I go astray I need to get back on track right away or I continue to go astray.  This verse reminds me who I belong to and gets me back on track.<\/p>\n<p>Application: Continue to memorize scripture and use it to live a Godly life.  Always using the word of God as a sword to fight off the enemy and draw nearer to God.  Don\u2019t let my mind go astray, but stay focused on God\u2019s plan for my life.<\/p>\n<p>Prayer: Dear Father keep me close to you.  May my thoughts and actions be pleasing to you and may I complete the task you set before me.  I love you and want to please you.
