The word for today is - Whatsoever!

Good morning,

The word for today is - Whatsoever !

 

One reason people love the Psalms is that we can each usually identify the Psalms with our own experiences.Let's get understand of the book, Psalms it stands as a kind of introduction to the rest of the Psalms. Its subject matter is very general and basic, but it touches on two subjects that continually occur throughout the Psalms. It declares the blessedness of the righteous and the misery and future of the wicked. Man’s spiritual life is set forth negatively and positively, inwardly and externally, figuratively and literally. However, the key subject is the centrality of God’s Word to the life and fruitfulness of the righteous who truly loves God's Word. God says there are two ways of life open to us: one means blessedness, happiness, and fruitfulness, but the other means cursedness, unhappiness, and judgment. The choice is ours! Blessedness is a choice, but to be blessed, one must by faith obey the conditions; he must pursue the way of blessedness as described in the book of Psalms. Read Psalms chapter 1,How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the path of sinners, Nor sit in the seat of scoffers!  But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night.And he will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, Which yields its fruit in its season, And its leaf does not wither; And in whatever he does, he prospers. Blessing comes from growth in the plan of God through fellowship with Him and through the Word of God. The word from God tells us, “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.” The man of blessedness is one who has determined to walk by the whole counsel of the Word, not by his emotions, experience, tradition, by popular opinion or by what is politically correct. From thinking like the world you begin to act like the world, that means your unstable in all your ways. This refers to those who are guided and controlled by their own desires, emotions, impulses of the mind and flesh rather than by the Word and the Holy Spirit.How do people scoff at the Word of God?  By blatant ridicule or rejection. But there are other ways. By indifference. Some people think they have better things to do with there time. By substituting one’s own ideas, experiences, emotions, feelings, or traditions for the Word and its principles.By listening to the Word proclaimed, but then ignoring it. In essence you can scoff at the Word when you fail to obey it. It takes time to grow and mature in the Word.  True spiritual strength comes from a long-term, establishing a relationship with God in his Word  read Hebrew chapter 5. Thank you God for your word. Amen !
