From the Heart by B.Demaere

  Indeed, the source of your boredom is your comfort zone.  Truly, are you pleased with all your accomplishments?  Admittedly, couldn't life be better?  In reality, you are lying to yourself.  Life could be better! Really, you can make it happen.  After all, your life has been a chain of event, a chain of disappointment.  What is really happening, you are afraid to start something new.  You have to get over it and get off that sofa.  It will not do anything for you, you have to do it for yourself.  Start something new, something you are afraid of.  Why not, try a new recipe, a new hobby... Although, boredom and your comfort zone are your trap.  Nevertheless, the alternative won't kill you! If you are  tired of watching the same video type?  Why not, switch to a mystery series and try "Hercule Poirot" by Agatha Christie, he is Belgian, you know? Eventually, boredom can kill you if you let it!  In reality, boredom has killed many people.  The death of a dream is the dea

  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

How willing are you for changes (Psalm 119:121-128)

  121. Don't leave me to the mercy of my enemies, for I have done what is just and right.  122. Please guarantee  a blessing for me.  Don't let those who are arrogant oppress me!  123. My eyes strain to see your deliverance, to see the truth of your promise fulfilled.  124. I am your servant; deal with me in unfailing love, and teach me your principles.  125. Give discernment to me, your servant; then I will understand your decrees.  126. Lord, it is time for you to act, for these evil people have broken your law.  127. Truly, I love your commands more than gold, even the finest gold.  128. Truly, each of your commandments is right.  This is why I hate every false way. (Psalm 119:121-128) 1) Vindicate me (v.121-122) Let my righteous life be enough to vindicate me from my enemies.  Guarantee me a blessing against the oppression of the arrogant people. 2) Deliverance promised (v.123-125 Let the promise of deliverance you made to me be fulfilled.

  113. I hate those who are undecided about you, but my choice is clear-- I love your law.  114. You are my refuge and my shield; your word is my only source of hope.  115, Get out of my life, you evil-minded people, for I intend to obey the commands of my God.  116. Lord, sustain me as you promised that I may live!  Do not let my hope be crushed.  117. Sustain me, and I will be saved, then I will meditate on your principles continually.  118. But you have rejected all who stray from your principles.  They are only fooling themselves.  119. All the wicked of the earth are the scum you skim off; no wonder I love to obey your decrees!  120. I tremble in fear of you; I fear your judgment. 1) Hindrance to the Body (v.113-114) Those undecided about God  repulse him.  He consider God  his refuge and shield, his word is truly his only hope.  He means it! 2) Fully intend to press in God (v.115-116) He desperately beg God to help guard hope by removing the hindrance of the wicked.  Hope is what
