Psalm 19:7-9
The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul;
The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple;
The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart;
The commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes;
The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever;
The judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
I somewhat realise I had somewhat blogged nowadays without much serious thoughts and thinking through.
I guess I do not have that discipline to even organise my thoughts and put them down in a manner that can both edify and encourage, at the same time sharing where God stands in my life.
I will say God has provided many opportunities to seek Him on a more personal level. As much as I am impressed and moved by great authors and speakers in their service for the Lord by conveying truths through their published work and speech respectively, I am more in awe of God's word and the understanding it gives of our life in the general and deeper sense.
To quote from C.S lewis in his concluding statement in his speech on theology and poetry. "I believe in Christianity as I believe that the Sun has risen, not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else"
I believed I mentioned it before, our Christian life is meant to be a disciplined and faithful "walk". I am once again reminded of the so straight-forward yet so easily neglected and often compromised requirements God wants from us by Mark Herbster.
Micah 6:8
He has shown you, O man, what is good;
And what does the LORD require of you
But to do justly,
To love mercy,
And to walk humbly with your God?
To add on further, the only sign to show that this "walk" is a genuine, humble walk is by the "fruits". (Matthew 7:16)
Spiritual principles are much clearer when seen them lived out in people instead of merely stating them in the abstract.
As Christians lived out their faith, I am convicted that they count all things loss as gain for Christ (Phil 3:7-9). The idea of being brought into God's kingdom in splendor and glory-
"For Glory means good report with God, acceptance by God, response acknowledgement, and welcome into the heart of things. The door on which we have been knocking all our lives will open at last."
The Glory of God, to be brought into Glory, that supreme and indescirbable blessing.
Psalm 19:10-11
They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb.
By them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward.
