Good morning. We are back
in Psalm 119. We are almost halfway through. Forever, oh Lord, Your word is
settled in heaven. His word is not yes yes and no no. We are not testing it out
to see if it's true. It doesn't matter whether we believe it or not – it's
true. And like His word: Your faithfulness continues throughout all
generations. Because His word is true, we can know for sure that He will be
faithful to us forever. If Your word had not been my delight, then I would have
perished in my affliction. His word is what sustains us, and keeps us on the
right path. I am Yours - save me. Your commandments make me wiser than my
enemies; I have more insight than all my teachers, for Your testimonies are my
meditation. We are smarter than the average bear J. We have the mind of
Christ – who can outsmart us? How sweet are Your words to my taste! Yes,
sweeter than honey to my mouth! Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to
my path. It allows us to see which way we are going and which way we should go,
if we veer off track. It is brighter than those flashlights advertised on TV.
My life is continually in danger, yet I do not forget Your word. While our
lives may not be in physical danger, we are in danger constantly. Yet the light
of His word will show us the way to go. I hate those who are double minded, but
I love Your word. Remember that James said that the one who doubts is a double
minded man, unstable in all his ways. Trusting in His word keeps us stable.
Father thank You that the reader walks according to Your word. He/she delights
in it and meditates upon it day and night. He/she has more insight than all
those around him/her. He/she uses Your word to light his/her path. He/she is
stable in all his/her ways!
Unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God
Good morning. While Jesus was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name, observing His signs which He was doing. Jesus was not entrusting Himself to them, for He knew all men. Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. It doesn’t say, but I assume it is still during this time of the Passover. This man came to Jesus by night. Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do the signs that You do unless God is with him. It just said that the people believed in His name because of the signs He was doing; yet it does not say what those signs were. Unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God. That is why unbelievers cannot tell what is of the kingdom of God and what is not – they’re not born again. Nicodemus doesn’t have a clue. How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born, can he? Unless one is born of water and the Spirit ...
