THE LIFE OF FAITH AND THE GLORIOUS CHURCH - 2009
january 31ST
HIS WORD WILL ALWAYS BE THERE
...."Depart from
evil and do good, so you will abide forever. For the Lord loves justice, and
does not forsake His godly ones, they are preserved forever; but the
descendants of the wicked will be cut off. The righteous will inherit the land,
and dwell in it forever. The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom, and his
tongue speaks justice. The law of God is in his heart; his steps do not
slip"....
Psalm 37:27-31 NASB
All of the words found
in this portion of scripture are just simple sentences, but as one opens their
heart to receive the living Word it shall become real to them, and they shall
come to know beyond a shadow of doubt that God will never forsake them. One may
"choose" to forsake Him in their foolishness, but He will NEVER
forsake them, and His Word will ALWAYS be there if one should choose to repent
and incline their heart back towards Him - through a uniting of their faith
with His Word [Hebrews 4:1-2].
OUR MOUTH SHALL UTTER WORDS OF FAITH, WORDS OF WISDOM AND WORDS OF
RIGHTEOUSNESS ONLY WHEN WE HAVE TAKEN THE STEPS TO FILL OUR HEART TO
OVERFLOWING WITH THE WORD OF GOD
"The mouth of the
righteous utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks justice." Why? Because
"the law [Word] of God is in his heart [Matthew 12:34]. Our mouth will
utter words of faith, words of wisdom and words of righteousness only when we
have taken the steps to fill our heart to "overflowing" with the Word
of God. Our steps shall not slip because - as the love of God is shed abroad in
our heart by the power of the Holy Spirit - we will "allow" Him to
lead us step by step. Although the path of righteousness is narrow [and there
is no turning to the left or right], our steps are firm and sure, moment by
moment, day by day, because we are upheld by the "power" of God in
ALL things - as we faithfully seek to walk in perfect obedience at all cost to
ourselves.
