The value of God

Psalm 119:114 “You are my refuge and my shield; I have put my hope in your word.” There is never a time in our lives when we are alone.  There is never a time in our lives when we are not protected.  There is never a time in our lives when we cannot confidently trust in the loving protection and guidance offered freely from our Heavenly Father.  Our earthly lives and our salvation is secure.  Another wonderful blessing from our wonderful God.

Familiar words and thoughts

Psalm 119:105 “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” You and I cannot see without light.  Without light we would wonder in chaos.  We would be continually injuring ourselves and have to endure the frustration of never knowing either where we have been or where we are going.  Without Jesus we would wonder on this earth with no light or knowledge of truth.  Fortunately, we have bright light and we live with direction and purpose.  All and only because we know our Savior.  What a blessing!

Honey is sweet

Psalm 119:103 “How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth.” Usually treats are given when some task is performed successfully.  Treats are not continually given or they are no longer treats.  God does not think like that.  He gives each of us treats continually.  Like sweet honey we can read and study His Word and receive the sweet thoughts of absolute truth whenever we open the Bible.  What a wonderful privilege to be treated with His sweetness, like honey, continually.  Enjoy the treats! Have a great weekend.

Don’t limit yourself

Psalm 119:97 “To all perfection I see a limit; but your commands are boundless.” Human mentality, no matter how ambitious, has limitations.  All that man perceives has boundaries because it is impossible for humans to become god.  We do, however, join and live with God who has no boundaries and no limitations.  I cannot think of the slightest reason to not be as close as possible to our Omni God.

All belongs to God

Psalm 119:91 “Your laws endure to this day, for all things serve you.” There is nothing on this earth that doesn’t belong to God.  God is the owner of everything.  You and I often fool ourselves into thinking our possessions are our own, but they are only gifts belonging to our Creator.  Our talents are even gifts for us to use and develop for the purpose of serving and giving glory to our Savior.  This mentality is totally foreign to those who do not have a relationship with their Heavenly Father, but for those who do have a firm relationship with God, they are understood and cherished.  We pray for such an understanding.
