Young people are especially susceptible to certain types of sins. In the younger mind that is still developing there is a level of immaturity there biologically, intellectually, and for the Christian, spiritually. It is vitally important for all Christians to take heed to obey God’s Word but it is especially important for the younger person to concentrate and apply themselves diligently.
Word Study
Keep His Way Pure – to cleanse, to clean, to make pure or innocent.
His Way – path, course, direction.
Keeping It – taking heed, to guard, to observe.
Your Word – Your command, teaching, saying, revelation.
If one commits to keeping their way pure, it will contrast them from the world sharply. In particular, the young person who does this will stand out among their peers at school and in all walks of life. It does not come naturally and is a learned behavior but by the power of the indwelling Spirit of God, a young person can keep their way clean.
