| A Heart Abiding in God's Word |
This Psalms may be considered as the statement of a believer's experience. As for as our views, desires and affections, pslams 119 comes to us from the influences of the Holy Spirit. The writer is not written to everybody, but rather to those who knows their name has been changed., those who are redeemed, those who know and understand that they are a part of the royal family, Holy Nation that is set forth to praise Him (God) because God, brought us out of darkness and placed us in His marveouls light. How do you know this? He begins to open the text by talking about how the believers are blessed. Verse 1, Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the way of the LORD.2, Blessed are those who keep his testimonies, and that seek him whith his whole heart.3,They also do not walk in iniquity: they walk in his way. Their steps are not dictated by man, or by politics but rather their steps are gudied by and order by the Lord. They are God Chasers. We miss God, when we are to busy, in church business and not God's business. In verse 3, we find that they stay away from sin. Jabez prayed a prayer that stated, " thou keep me from evil, that I may not caused pain". Chronicles 4:10. Verse 4 Thou has commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently. He never put a position on the text therefore we all are commanded to keep God's commandments.It does not matter who you are what your title may be, how many degress you have, it is a command to keep God's preceptes. Than he said do it diligently. Hebrews 11:6 "For with out faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to Him, must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them diligently seek Him". Verse 9 states, "Wherewithal a young man cleanse way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word. The only way you are going to make it is through the word of God, if you are going to be clean from the sinful dirty life, it's going to be trough the word of God. John 15:3" you are clean through the word that I have spoken unto you." After seeing a physician in an emergency room h/she will tell you this is your symptoms, and take this for the soultion. They have diganosed you, and gave you advice on how to be cured. Although you can't read the information, you do what they say in faith, that if I follow the instructions I will be healed, I will be clean. Clearly the bibles has diganosed us, for all have sined, and come short of the glory of God, but the gift of God is eteranl life. We have the answer, so what is our response. 11. thy word have I hid an my heart that I might not sin against thee. Why did the writer states to hide the word in my heart? One reason is because we as humans can't remember everything, and if I was able to hide the word in my mind, I might forget what it states, and the word would not be any good good. If I were able to hide the word in the way I talk, my conversations are always not pleasing to God therefore it is to no effect. If I was able to hide the word in the way I walk that is to say, the places that I go. The places that I go sometimes are not exceptable to God, therefore it will be to no effect the word will become nigh to me. If I had the ability to hide the word in my hand, my hand become to busy doing somthing else, making the word to no effect. Therefore, the writter states to hide the word in your heart that you may not sin against God. From the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. If I'm able to deposit word in my heart, I can speak from my heart what God says about me. When I'm face with a problem I can with draw, word from my heart. So no longer do I have to believe that Im broke, busted and disgusted. The bible says He gives us ability to get wealth ( Deuteronomy 8:18). The Bible says we went through fire, and we've gone through the flood, but God brought us to our wealthy place. (Psalms 66 12verse) No longer do I have to believe, or except that im Hell bound. The Bible, If I confess with my mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in my heart that God raise Jesus from the dead, im shall be saved. (Romans 10:9) That's why it's important to have a heart abiding in the Word of God. |
