Effectively, not that I’ve gotten your consideration with that foolish smiling horse let me clarify the ideas that got here to me this morning.
Yesterday I defined to you that my life “in a nutshell” is a love for God’s phrase and the sensible path it provides me for day by day life. Choices are simpler once I belief God to guide me with peace. Worries are much less as I roll the cares of life over on the Father. Concern dissipates as I do know that He has promised to by no means depart me or abandon me, even within the valley of the shadow of loss of life.
My future is safe as a result of I do know that for me to reside is Christ however to die is acquire as I be a part of my heavenly Father in heaven.
His phrase brings me pleasure, energy, forgiveness, grace, mercy and gives for all my earthly and heavenly wants.
After which this morning, I discovered this verse, that I do know I’ve learn 100’s of occasions earlier than however it jumped off the web page and into my coronary heart.
“ Smile on me, your servant, and train me your legal guidelines.” Psalm 119:35 CEV
However chapter 119 of Psalms, the longest chapter within the Bible, highlights a love of God’s phrase and the advantages of studying and obeying it in 176 verses. It truly is my theme chapter.
“Your teachings are fantastic, and I respect all of them. 130 Understanding your phrase brings gentle to the minds of atypical individuals. 131 I actually wish to know every thing you train.
132 Take into consideration me and be sort, simply as you’re to everybody who loves your title. 133 Preserve your promise and don’t let me stumble or let sin management my life. 134 Shield me from abuse, so I can obey your legal guidelines. 135 Smile on me, your servant, and train me your legal guidelines. 136 When anybody disobeys you, my eyes overflow with tears. 137 Our Lord, you all the time do proper, and your selections are truthful. 138 All of your teachings are true and reliable. 139 It upsets me enormously when my enemies neglect your teachings. 140 Your phrase to me, your servant, is like pure gold; I treasure what you say. 141 Everybody calls me a no person, however I bear in mind your legal guidelines. 142 You’ll all the time do proper, and your teachings are true. 143 I’m in deep misery, however I like your teachings. 144 Your guidelines are all the time truthful. Assist me to grasp them and reside.” Psalm 119:129-144 CEV
For many who assume the Bible is simply “the nice guide” however don’t actually take the time to learn it I encourage them to wish this quick prayer. “Lord, I need Your Bible to return alive for me. I wish to be taught from you. Train me Your Methods. In Jesus Identify, Amen.”
That sincere, easy, heart-felt prayer would be the starting of an exquisite journey discovering the non-public message from God to you. Then you will note why the psalmist says “Your phrase to me, your servant, is like pure gold; I treasure what you say. “
Keep in mind this:
“Then we are going to by no means flip away. Put new life into us, and we are going to worship you. 19 Lord God All-Highly effective, make us sturdy once more! Smile on us and save us.” Psalm 80:18-19 CEV
I can see the Father smiling on us now.
