Text: Psalm 119:173, Deuteronomy 30:19, Proverbs 1:29
The Psalmist tells us in our text that because he chose God's precepts , then he is assured of help from the hand of God.
Holiness, Righteousness, grace, peace, riches and all blessings from God to us is waiting for us to say, Yes, which confirms our faith and God will put them in our lives.(Provebs 1:29, Jeremiah 32:40). The choice has to be both from our heart and from our mouth, because the eyes of the Lord is focused on our heart.(2 Chronilcles 16:9, Matthew 15:8)
Joshua in Joshua 24:15 admonished the children of Israel to choose to serve the Lord. He intoned that as for him and his house, they have chosen to serve the Lord.(Joshua 24:22)
Our Lord Jesus admonished Martha in Luke 10:42, that while she was troubled about many things, the sister, Mary had chosen the one thing that is needdful-the Word of God. Jesus said the Word of God which Mary had heard and received(Luke 10:39) is the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
The counsel today is for you and I to give attention to the Word of God and the instructions therein as the central part of our daily lives. Read, study, think and meditate on the Word of God daily. It is Light that will shine in any area of darkness in your life and bring a turn around in your life.(2 Peter 1:19)
God's method in every situation is to give us or show by His Spirit the way out through the Rhema Word that that will show us what to do, for God to intervene. It is the Logos Word(the written Word of God) that attracts the Rhema Word of God, because Jesus stands behind and as surety to the Logos or written word of God. Alleluia(Hebrews 7:22). The greatest indestructible treasure for the believer is the Word of Grace and God Himself, that is able to build us up and give us our inheritance .(Acts 20:32). Take advantage of it today, making a choice to devote time and energy and attention to the Word of God.
I recall a testimony from a sister in our church. She had on a Sunday service heard the message on the
importance of reading and studying the Word of God, because it is light that will shatter any darkness or any challenge in our life. That day very late at night at home, she had a severe sickness and remembered the message she had heard in the church earlier that morning. She took her Bible and began to read from one of the books of the new testament. She read many chapters until she fell asleep. She had a dream and the Lord Jesus himself appeared to her and touched her. She woke , up totally healed from the sickness, Alleluia. So choose and say Yes and engage the Bible today as your most precious possession and your life will never be the same again, Amen, Alleluia.
