—– Forwarded Message —– From: Richard Waldschmidt Sent: Tuesday, March 16, 2021, 07:08:38 AM EDTSubject: whose pleasure? Psalm 119:175 “Let me live that I may praise you, and may your laws sustain me.” Notice the first half of this verse. You and I live much of our lives with the thought—let me live for my own pleasure—let me live to satisfy myself. Is our Psalmist telling us to live to praise God in all of our thoughts, words and actions? He surely is. You and I must pray again–Thy will be done. Let me live that I may praise You!

Psalm 119:171 “May my lips overflow with praise, for you teach me your decrees.” Our magnificent God is the absolutely best teacher. If you and I follow His instruction we live very good lives. When we do follow His instruction we do live very good lives. When we fail we suffer the consequences. The words which should be continually on our lips are—God, teach me Your will and help me live accordingly.

Psalm 119:162 “May my cry come before you, O Lord; give me understanding according to your word.” Many daily discussions, disagreements, opinions etc. could easily be resolved if God’s Word would be used as the authority. Human opinion is endless. God’s Word is authoritative. Therefore, you and I, if we are wise will always ask ourselves and state God’s revealed truth therefore eliminating man’s questionable opinions. Have a great weekend.

Psalm 119:162 “I rejoice in your promise like one who finds great spoil.” God’s Book is full of promises. None of them are nonchalantly written. Trust, faith, contentedness, successful living, perseverance, commitment, love, earthly life and eternity all are subjects God addresses with detail and promise. His Book is so rich in promise and thought it should be our #1 asset in all of our wills. Buy His Book for all your heirs and It will become their greatest treasure, putting all of life and eternity in proper perspective.
