Understand More!

Understand More!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who love your law and meditate on it all day. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Who was your favorite teacher? Most people can think of at least one teacher who influenced them greatly. Imagine reaching a point where you have greater understanding than your teachers. Although it might seem impossible, the psalmist in Psalm 119: 97-100 (ESV) declares it to be true.

“Oh how I love your law!
It is my meditation all the day.
Your commandment makes me wiser than my enemies,
for it is ever with me.
I have more understanding than all my teachers,
for your testimonies are my meditation.
I understand more than the aged,
for I keep your precepts.”

Imagine meditating on Scripture all day, every day. The Bible says, you will be wiser than your enemies, more understanding then all your teachers, and understand more than those who are aged. Studying Scripture and obeying God are worthy endeavors. Start. Continue. Praise God.

Hold Back Your Feet from Every Evil?

Hold Back Your Feet from Every Evil?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who know it is through you we am able to hold back our feet from every evil way in order to keep your word. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Along life’s journey there are many paths. Choosing which is the right one can be challenging. Yet, God’s word offers guidance for those who are seeking.

In Psalm 119:98-104 (ESV) we learn the psalmist loves God’s law and commandments. He wants to be faithful and to avoid evil.

“Oh how I love your law!
It is my meditation all the day.
Your commandment makes me wiser than my enemies,
for it is ever with me.
I have more understanding than all my teachers,
for your testimonies are my meditation.
I understand more than the aged,
for I keep your precepts.
I hold back my feet from every evil way,
in order to keep your word.
I do not turn aside from your rules,
for you have taught me.
How sweet are your words to my taste,
sweeter than honey to my mouth!
Through your precepts I get understanding;
therefore I hate every false way.”

Want to make the right choices in life? Choose to take God at his word. It is with God’s help you can keep from stumbling.

Will You Sing to the Lord As Long As You Live?

Will You Sing to the Lord As Long As You Live?

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who will sing to you as long as they live. In Jesus’ name, amen.

John Newton’s “Amazing Grace” refers to a heavenly choir.

“When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’d first begun.”

In Psalm 104:31-35 (ESV) God look causes the earth to tremble, and his touching mountains causes them to smoke. In verse 33, the psalmists and “Amazing Grace” have some ideas in common.

“May the glory of the Lord endure forever;
may the Lord rejoice in his works,
who looks on the earth and it trembles,
who touches the mountains and they smoke!
I will sing to the Lord as long as I live;
I will sing praise to my God while I have being.
May my meditation be pleasing to him,
for I rejoice in the Lord.
Let sinners be consumed from the earth,
and let the wicked be no more!
Bless the Lord, O my soul!
Praise the Lord!”

Choose to live a godly life. Allow yourself to freely worship God. Sing now and forever more.
