Psalms 119:98-101 Your commands make me wiser than my enemies, for they are my constant guide. Yes, I have more insight than my teachers, for I am always thinking of your laws. I am even wiser than my elders,  for I have kept your commandments. I have refused to walk on any evil path, so that I may remain obedient to your word. From the account of people recorded in scriptures, we can testify concerning those who chose the part of obedience compared to those who walked in disobedience that those who walked in obedience actually walked in wisdom. There is no way you walk by the word that sin would have a place in your life. John 17:14&17 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. For all the laws, commandments and prophecies, pointed to the Messiah, Jesus the Christ, the Son of the Living God. For He is the end of all things. That is why it is fun...

Psalms 119:89-90 Your eternal word, O Lord, stands firm in heaven. Your faithfulness extends to every generation, as enduring as the earth you created. Yes, the Heavenly Father has all things well laid out, He has the blueprint of the future, this is why His prophets could prophesy them before time. Man(humans) because of how the Heavenly Father created us, are free beings, in His image we received the power to create and make decisions. Remember that even disobedience is a decision. The fall of man made Him lose His God nature, thus he began to die, just as the Father warned. It is foolish to think that we can do exploits without the Lord, for without Him we are dead. Act 17:28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. This was the problem then, and is still man's problem today: Leaving the Heavenly Father's agenda to follow our agenda, the world's agenda or the enemy's agenda. To get i...

Psalms 119:71 My suffering was good for me, for it taught me to pay attention to your decrees. I remember as a youth leader when questions like "why would God not reveal Himself fully to me?", "why can't I hear directly from God? "I want to do exploits, I want to go beyond these experiences and see God" etc. I do answer to let them know that there is always the growth process which is good for every believer that they might not err. For we have examples in scriptures of those who did not go through the process, the record shows that they did not do well at the end. For what the Lord may overlook for a growing believer, He may not overlook when it comes to a matured believer who has experienced great things with Him. Selah The Psalmist here understood that he is chastised when he errs. His wisdom is that he understood his mistakes and is ready to be led by the word. Psalms 119:65-68 You have done many good things for me, Lord, just as you promised. I believe...

Psalm 119:30 I have chosen to be faithful; I have determined to live by your regulations.” As I add another year today I am motivated to remind us that we have the choice to choose our path. However, wisdom is to hand it over to the One who knows all, has all and is above all. The secret of the believers faith, exploits and sustenance is trusting in the Lord. The believer is considered righteous by this. That is what Christ came to fulfil. 1 Corinthians 1:30 “God has united you with Christ Jesus. For our benefit God made him to be wisdom itself. Christ made us right with God; he made us pure and holy, and he freed us from sin. ” Therefore believers, as we go on year after year, let us remember what is more important - our relationship with God. What do we have after here? Who really can assure us of our time here and the time after we leave the world? John 14:3 “When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. ” Nobody could be this sure...

Psalms 119:49-50 Remember your promise to me; it is my only hope. Your promise revives me; it comforts me in all my troubles. What do we hold on to as believers? God's word, yes His promises, this is our motivation. It is where our trust is. It is not in man, for we know that man can fail but God remains faithful. Psalm 20:7 Some [trust] in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God. It is because we know this, that we do not foolishly work in sin, for it is laYck of faith that breeds sin. That is why the enemy starts by tampering with our faith. Psalms 119:54-56 Your decrees have been the theme of my songs wherever I have lived. I reflect at night on who you are, O Lord; therefore, I obey your instructions. This is how I spend my life: obeying your commandments. Therefore we have no business being afraid of the wicked. Neither do we fear man, no matter how high they think they are. For we have respect for all men. No one should play the God in ...

Psalm 119:35 Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight. For when we look at the ten commandments, which is the model of God's command to man we see its structure. The first four declared concerning God and the remaining declared concerning fellow man. While we look at it as dos and don'ts, which is the outward show, the Heavenly Father looks at the driving force "our heart". Thus Jesus declared: Mark 12:29-31 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments [is], Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this [is] the first commandment. And the second [is] like, [namely] this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. Thus the driving force must be LOVE! 1 Corinthians 13:1-3 If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t lov...
