The Great Wonders of God's Word (Psalm 119:129-136)

 

129. Your decrees are wonderful.  No wonder I obey them!  130. As your words are taught, they give light; even the simple can understand them.  131. I open my mouth, panting expectantly, longing for your commands.  132. Come and show me your mercy, as you do for all who love your name.  133. Guide my steps by your word, so I will not be overcome by any evil.  134. Rescue me from the oppression of evil people; then I can obey your commandments.  135. Look down on me with love; teach me all your principles.  136. Rivers of tears gush from my eyes because people disobey your law. (Psalm 119:129-136)

1) Wonderful words understood by all (v.129-130)

It's our desire to obey God's wonderful words.  The teaching of the Word of God brings in our heart the divine light.  Even children can understand his Word.  Read it prayerfully and understanding will come with it.  The Bible is a spiritual book.

2) Love comes through the Word (v.131-132)

Relationally, we expectantly receive the word and long for every commands.  We love our God of mercy.  This mercy without which life would be unbearable here on earth.

3)  Guidance for every step (v.133-134)

Our  Father in Heaven gives us much needed guidance to keep us from all kind of evil.  He will rescue us from evil people in a timely manner, enabling us to obey his commands.

4) Love is the great motivator (v.135-136)

A love that motivates us to growth and maturity.  The disobedience of others causes us to cry uncontrollably for righteousness to prevail.

Conclusion

 From the time God's wonderful Word teaches us and we are searching it from the depth of our soul for answers to the time we seek God for his mercy.  Let's face it, we constantly need his guidance to keep us from all kind of evil.  May God associate with us as we go onto our life's journey and become as broken as those who are broken by evil.

The Legacy of Wisdom Proverbs 8:17

    I am more than excited about the wisdom I find in Proverbs from the Bible these days.  A wisdom that I want to grow into and be able to pass it on to future generation The book of Proverbs is to me in part an admonition from a father to his son.   A legacy of wisdom and character.   Very obviously and more than anything he does not want his son just to be wealthy    but rather, want him to be rich in wisdom from God, the highest kind of wisdom there is.   The kind of wisdom that you want to know intimately and even pass it on to the next generation.   Men, I am talking to you or with you While still reading and meditating on the Book of Proverbs from the Bible, I cannot help but experiencing it as an admonition from a father to his son.   The Father wants to pass on a legacy to his son.   Are you a father or one to be? Or perhaps, like me a grandfather who has struggled all his life to put food on the table?   Now is my second chance to build a future filled with wisdom into my

Making Promises to God

  One thing we must watch for, it is keeping our promises to God. It is so easy at one time to make a casual promise to Him and then forget or discard as not so important...but God has not forgotten and that is why this verse warn of danger.     It is a trap for a man to [speak a vow of consecration and] say rashly, “it is holy!”    And [not until] afterward consider [whether he can fulfill it] (Proverbs 20:25)     Now in the book of Judges 11:30-31 a man by the name of:       Jephthah made a vow to the Lord and said, “If you will indeed give the Ammonites into my hand. Then whatever comes out of the doors of my house to meet me when I return in peace from the Ammonites, it shall be the Lord’s, and I will offer it up as a burnt offering.”     As you read on in that same chapter you realize that it is his own unique virgin daughter that he had to sacrifice. Today this would not be allowed but in biblical times it was accepted. Nevertheless, however this is one of the saddest stor
