A statement of faith

Psalm 121:2 “My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.” If Darwinian faith is true the Christian faith is false.  If the Christian faith is true, Darwin’s theories are false.  At first these statements might seem unimportant but as we look at just this passage we find an extreme importance in these statements.  Our Creator is also our Comforter.  Without Him we have nothing.  With Him we have everything.  Which should we choose–Darwin or our Creator?  The answer is obvious.

Lost then found

Psalm 119:176 “I have strayed like a lost sheep.  Seek your servant, for I have not forgotten your commands.” The last verse of Psalm 119 defines us all.  Never do any of us want to be deserted by our Savior.  When we stray from Him, and we all do,  we want our God to always find us and return us to Himself.  We can never thank our Savior enough for His redemptive work.  We close this chapter with a sincere THANK YOU!!

Fw: 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!

How can we do anything else?

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.
