When was the last time you genuinely asked God to reveal parts of your life that need repentance and change? When was the last time you acted upon what the Spirit revealed to you? The Psalmist says he recounted and kept score on his life and God responded to him. This means that the Psalmist sought God’s instruction on how to live. This is the essence of God-Centered theology. Starting with God and living according to His statutes.
