Psalm 27:11a “Teach me your way, Lord; lead me in a straight path…” The greatest teacher is our Savior. The greatest way to live is totally based on His words. We are wise when we hear, learn and then apply all our Savior has to teach. Gaining knowledge is fine–gaining wisdom is supreme.

Psalm 27:4 “One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my Iife, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple.” Pursuing earthly gain and ignoring a close relationship with our God is as foolish as foolish gets. Knowing the true God and enjoying His presence is the most wonderful experience one can cherish. Nothing comes close to the value found in the love relationship offered by God to you and me and then in return our love relationship to Him. We enjoy worshiping Him as that relationship will last through all eternity.

Psalm 27:1 “The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid?’ An unfortunate emotion of man is fear. Why? Because each of us relies on our own strengths and so easily forgets where our strength really lies. We seem to think our strength comes from our macho man front. Whereas our strength really comes from our knees resting on the ground. Our strength comes from our Creator, never from the created. If it’s necessary–get a knee replacement.

Psalm 27:1 “The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid? What kind of faith do I have? 1. Is it a mile wide and an inch deep–therefore, trying to please everyone, or 2. Is it an inch wide and a mile deep –therefore, being oblivious to what is happening around me, or 3. Is it a mile wide and a mile deep–therefore, while seeing what is happening in the world, avoiding the temptations prevalent in the world while being wise in serving my Savior and spreading His truths to those I come in contact with and supporting those who serve the same purpose throughout the world? What kind of faith do I have?

Psalm 25:21 “May integrity and uprightness protect me, because my hope, Lord, is in you.” Honesty, strong moral principles and walking a path of faith are qualities which every Christian tries their best to attain and maintain. Why? Because every move you and I make involves serving our Savior. Is that thought too idealistic and not realistic? For every loved and adopted child of God, service and honor to our God is an enjoyable perpetual. What an honor it is to serve Him bravely with wisdom.

Psalm 25:15 “My eyes are ever on the Lord, for only he will release my feet from the snare.” A snare is a trap which is very difficult, if not impossible, to be released from. Life on earth can also be a snare with its many temptations which can ruin a person’s relationship with their Savior. To avoid falling for the “snare” or temptation, one must always concentrate on following the wisdom of God. Avoid the snare and walk free.

Psalm 25:7 “Do not remember the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways; according to your love remember me, for you, Lord are good.” You and I worship a wonderful God. We couldn’t be more blessed than to have the privilege of being able to communicate with–imagine–God! And to know He listens. Even though life is full of heartache and we lack an understanding as to “why”, we enjoy the peace and comfort of knowing God is always faithfully and lovingly at our side.

Psalm 25:1 “In you, Lord my God, I put my trust.” Confidence in oneself is critical for living a successful life and is essential for avoiding depression and anxiety. Confidence and trust in God is absolutely essential for anyone to call themselves a Christian and to experience a calm and peace which only comes from our Father in Heaven. Having a strong faith and a tight relationship with God is a wonderful way to live. Thank God for the blessing of such a faith based on the solid foundation of trust.

Psalm 24:10 “Who is he, this King of glory? The Lord Almighty–he is the King of glory,” Have you ever thought—why is it that God, our Almighty God, loves me and the rest of mankind? Our answer can’t possibly be–because I am so great and loveable. Why is that not the answer? Because just the opposite is the truth. He can totally do without me but I am totally lost without Him. When we get to Heaven this has to be one of the first questions we ask. I do not know the answer now! Have a great weekend.

Psalm 24:1 “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.” How important is a high net worth if one has no relationship with our Heavenly Father? How important is developing a very comfortable retirement plan if the true God is absent from one’s life? Is using one’s talents to live a purposeful life important? Is having a loving relationship with the One who owns everything important? Which is more important–centering your life on your self or centering your life on the One who gave His life for you? Answer these questions correctly and enjoy a secure life on this earth and eternally.

Psalm 23:5 “Surely your goodness and love will follow mw all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” Like David, you and I are the most blessed individuals to walk on this earth. Sometimes we think we are just like everyone else, but that is far from the truth. Once a person becomes a loved and adopted child of God, they become heirs to a comfort and peace which passes all understanding. Earthly blessings and a Heavenly reward are theirs. How extremely blessed we are.

Psalm 23:5 “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.” Turmoil, chaos, unrest, and confusion surround every Christian, yet our God still is walking by our side giving you and me strength and comfort. Even though the world, in its confused thinking, lacks the wisdom to even ask for God’s wisdom, every Christian walks on the solid ground of spiritual life and comfort. How blessed we are to know and be loved by our Heavenly Father.
