Message in Brief

In this daily message, Pastor Ratna Maitra preaches on Psalms 119:9, discussing how young people and all believers can cleanse their ways and walk in purity. She highlights that during youth, individuals often seek independence and try new things, but God's Word provides essential direction and caution. By hiding Scripture in one's heart, believers receive discernment, light, and warnings to avoid sin. She explains how the Holy Spirit circumcises and renews the heart, illuminating inner eyes so believers fear the Lord and turn away from darkness. Emphasizing the example of Mary sitting at Jesus' feet in Luke 10, Pastor Ratna encourages gathering in fellowship and learning God's statutes above worldly busyness.
