The Teacher

Psalm 119:54 “The earth is filled with your love, O Lord; teach me your decrees.” You and I always have the thought on our minds–God teach me.  Teach me love; teach me wisdom; teach me knowledge; simply teach me–I am an eager student.  Thank God, God is patient.  We are not quick learners and we are forgetful children.  But, the truth is: God never gives up on us because His love for each of us endures forever.

How much of your heart?

Psalm 119:58 “I have sought your face with all my heart; be gracious to me according to your promise.” Every time you or I read the Bible we discover new thoughts, additional meanings and truths revealing God as The Master of everything.  We study with an open heart wanting to understand like a sponge absorbing truth.  To absorb, to understand to ponder is the joy of every Christian heart.

God’s promise

Psalm 119:50 “My comfort in my suffering is this; Your promise preserves my life.” All of us realize our lives on this earth are full of happiness, yet also full of sadness.  We many times physically hurt, mentally hurt and our hearts hurt.  Yet, through all this difficulty we always have the sure promise of the love and faithfulness of our Heavenly Father.  That promise far outweighs all the pain of this earthly life.  That promise fills our lives with peace and contentedness. Have a great weekend.

One thing will never fail

Psalm 119:41 “May your unfailing love come to me, O Lord, your salvation according to your promise.” You and I can find it difficult to understand that God’s unfailing love applies, not to the crowd of Christians or the group of the faithful, but to you and me individually.  His promises, His unfailing love is for and to you.  He has His arms wrapped around you.  He holds your hand.  He carries you.  Why does He care so much for you?  Answer: fold your hands and ask Him.  Open your heart and feel His unfailing love for YOU!  Let your children know this wonderful truth.

Live in freedom

Psalm 119:32 “I run in the path of your commands, for you have set my heart free.” Every Christian lives with the joy of freedom.  God’s ways and expectations for each of us give a freedom in life to live the most contented and joyful life known.  Life is to be led with joy, respect, faithfulness and love.  There are no handcuff rules as are found in all other religions.  Christian hearts are all motivated by love.  What a beautiful way to live.
