Beloved, I am glad to share with you today on the next two strophes of Psalms 119 pertaining to some important aspects raised in the Law and that are passion or indifference for it, and then the situation at a crossroads.
The Bible tells us that sticking to God teaching provides efficient antidote against enemies’ hostility. His passionate attraction for the law contrasts with the indifference of ungodly. Yet this same Word remains available to all: them that follow it find valued advice, but them that do not give ear may get lost.
On the difficult ways of life, you may suddenly be brought down, and crushed by misery. But the law of God strengthens and leads on the right path. At a crossroads, one has chosen faith way and turned his back to lying. Essential foundation of moral option, the Law of God does not suppress sorrow nor hanging problems, but set them in a perspective of deep significance and hope.
GIMEL
Psalms 119:17 Give me, your servant, the reward of life, so that I may keep your word;
18 Let my eyes be open to see the wonders of your law.
19 I am living in a strange land: do not let your teachings be kept secret from me.
20 My soul is broken with desire for your decisions at all times.
21 Your hand has been against the men of pride, a curse is on those who go wandering out of your way.
22 Take away from me shame and bitter words; for I have kept your unchanging word in my heart.
23 Rulers make evil designs against me; but your servant gives thought to your rules.
24 Your unchanging word is my delight, and the guide of my footsteps.
DALETH
25 My soul is joined to the dust: O give me life, in keeping with your word.
26 I put the record of my ways before you, and you gave me an answer: O give me knowledge of your rules.
27 Make the way of your orders clear to me; then my thoughts will be ever on your wonders.
28 My soul is wasted with sorrow; give me strength again in keeping with your word
29 Take from me every false way; and in mercy give me your law.
30 I have taken the way of faith: I have kept your decisions before me.
31 I have been true to your unchanging word; O Lord, do not put me to shame.
32 I will go quickly in the way of your teaching, because you have given me a free heart.
Our prayer is that the Almighty Lord God help you in having passion for His Word.
PRAYER OF ACCEPTANCE OF JESUS CHRIST AS LORD AND PERSONAL SAVIOR
I now invite anyone who wants to become a new creation by walking in the truth, to pray with me as follows :
Lord Jesus, I have long walked in the lusts of the world ignoring your love for humans. I acknowledge that I have sinned against you and ask forgiveness for all my sins, because today I have decided to give you my life by taking you as my Lord and personal Savior. I acknowledge that you died on the cross of Calvary and that you rose from the dead for me.
I am now saved and born again by the power of the Holy Spirit. Lead me each day to eternal life you give to all who obey your Word. Reveal to me and strengthen my heart and my faith so that your light may shine in my life right now.
Thank you, Lord Jesus, for accepting me in your divine family so that I too can contemplate the wonders of your kingdom.
I will now choose a nearby waterpoint to baptize myself by immersion, in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
To you all adoration, power, and glory, now and forever and ever. Amen!
I would be glad to revert on your queries as necessary before sharing the following week on the next two strophes on the manner of enjoying your life, and on a Word made available to the Word of God.
May the Lord God bless you in abundance.
David Feze, Servant of the Almighty God.
