The sermon centers on Psalm 119:59, emphasizing the necessity of self-examination, the rejection of self-reliant human ways, and the deliberate turning toward God's eternal testimonies. It warns against the peril of trusting one's own wisdom, citing biblical examples from Judges, Proverbs, and the lives of kings who perished by following their own desires, and contrasts this with the life of Christ, who calls believers to forsake all for His sake. The message underscores that human ways, though often appealing or satisfying, lead to spiritual death, while God's Word—living, authoritative, and eternal—offers true life, correction, and righteousness. The preacher calls listeners to actively turn from their fleshly inclinations, embrace Scripture as the ultimate guide, and live in faithful obedience, urging both believers and non-believers to abandon self-directed paths and submit to Christ's way through diligent engagement with the Bible.
