As I learn your righteous regulations, I will thank you by living as I should!

As I learn your righteous judgments, I will praise you with a pure heart.

Psalm 119:7 (English Standard Version)

I will praise you with an upright heart, when I learn your righteous rules.

Psalm 119:7 (The Message)

Share Audio

You’re blessed when you stay on course, walking steadily on the road revealed by God. You’re blessed when you follow his directions, doing your best to find him. That’s right—you don’t go off on your own; you walk straight along the road he set. You, God, prescribed the right way to live; now you expect us to live it. Oh, that my steps might be steady, keeping to the course you set; Then I’d never have any regrets in comparing my life with your counsel. I thank you for speaking straight from your heart; I learn the pattern of your righteous ways. I’m going to do what you tell me to do; don’t ever walk off and leave me.

As I learn your righteous judgments, I will praise you with a pure heart. I will praise you with an upright heart, when I learn your righteous rules. As I learn your righteous regulations, I will thank you by living as I should! You, God, prescribed the right way to live; now you expect us to live it. I will walk in your path you have given me and word you have spoken to me as I live by the love and grace of your laws. I will honor and praise your name as it is worth all honor and is worth to be shared. You anticipated to lead us when you chose us and accept us as we are as a whole art of work. You have never denied who you are or who we are, you have always shown value.

When we praise the father with an upright heart we learn to be faithful and humble to him as a man and as our Lord. We learn his rule and way of his laws. When we praise him we show him honorable and in honoring him show him that we trust and accept all that he is and who he represents. We shall praise his name to then learn how to live by his words and in him by showing honor and having a relationship with him. He is worthy to all our praise and sincere in all his words. We shall be just as sincere in honor to him and in relationships we walk with him. He is not there to please us or judge who we are, but to help us understand what is helpful in our lives and right from wrong. Teaching us a path of our own for our very own life journey while laying down laws he has given as protection and security of who he wants us to become and to understand. He is worthy of our praise and will shower is with praise when we live in the life he expected. When we praise God we are blessed. His journey will always take precedence and will become our predecessor.

“From prayer to praise is here, a long or a difficult journey. Be sure that he who prays for holiness will one day praise for happiness. Shame having vanished, silence is broken, and the formerly silent man declares, “I will praise thee.” He cannot but promise praise while he seeks sanctification; he counts God alone worthy of praise. By the sorrow and shame of sin he measures his obligations to the Lord who would teach him the art of living so that he should clean escape from his former misery. There is such a thing as false and feigned praise, and this the Lord abhors; but there is no music like that which comes from a pure soul which standeth in its integrity. Heart praise is required, uprightness in that heart, and teaching to make the heart upright. An upright heart is sure to bless the Lord, for grateful adoration is a part of its uprightness; no man can be right unless he is upright towards God, and this involves the rendering to him the praise which is his due. God’s word is full of the record of his righteous providence, and as we read it we feel compelled to burst forth into expressions of holy delight and ardent praise.” There is no formality, nor hypocrisy, nor lukewarmness, for the heart is upright in the presentation of its praise.

Put Away All Filth And Evil And Be Saved

James 1:21 (New Living Translation)

So get rid of all the filth and evil in your lives, and humbly accept the word God has planted in your hearts, for it has the power to save your souls.

James 1:21 (Good News Translation)

Share

So get rid of every filthy habit and all wicked conduct. Submit to God and accept the word that he plants in your hearts, which is able to save you.

James 1:21 (English Standard Version)

Share Audio

Therefore put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.

James 1:21 (The Message)

Share Audio

Post this at all the intersections, dear friends: Lead with your ears, follow up with your tongue, and let anger straggle along in the rear. God’s righteousness doesn’t grow from human anger. So throw all spoiled virtue and cancerous evil in the garbage. In simple humility, let our gardener, God, landscape you with the Word, making a salvation-garden of your life.

So get rid of all the filth and evil in your lives, and humbly accept the word God has planted in your hearts, for it has the power to save your souls. So get rid of every filthy habit and all wicked conduct. Submit to God and accept the word that he plants in your hearts, which is able to save you. Therefore put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word that has been given to you personally. Wherefore lay apart all filthiness

“All manner of filthiness, both of flesh and spirit; all pride, vanity, wrath, malice, and evil speaking, under hearing the word: the allusion seems to be to a boiling pot, which casts up scum and filth, which must be taken off: and such is the spirit of wrathful men; it throws up the filth of haughtiness and pride, of anger, wrath, and wickedness, which must be taken off, and laid aside; or the word will not be heard to any profit, or advantage”

Let God lay your foundation and landscape your heart. Stay away from the wonder and works and evil of the earthy world it is not living a godly god fearing life but in that of sin and evil acts. So rid of the worldly movements and be humble unto God and his word ridding of temptations and sin and accept that word which God has planted upon you “when it is put into the heart by the Spirit of God, and is mixed with faith by them that hear it; so that it is, as it were, incorporated into them, and becomes natural to them, which before was not; and taking deep root in them, brings forth much fruit: and where it comes with power, it reduces every high thought into the obedience of Christ, and makes men meek and humble; and only such receive the truth in the love of it; and to such is the Gospel preached, ( Isaiah 61:1 ) , and none but such hear it with profit and edification”

“which is able to save your souls;

even your whole persons, both soul and body: but the soul is only mentioned, as being the more excellent part of man: this must not be understood of the word, as if it was the author or cause of salvation, but as an instrument; it being a declaration of salvation by Christ, or what shows unto men the way of salvation by him; and is the power of God unto salvation to them, when it is attended with the energy of the Spirit, and the efficacy of divine grace. See ( 2 Timothy 3:15 ) .

be saved by that which can save you.

Obey And Live In God’s Law

John 15:10 (New Living Translation)

Share Audio

When you obey my commandments, you remain in my love, just as I obey my Father’s commandments and remain in his love.

John 15:10 (The Message)

Share Audio

“I’ve loved you the way my Father has loved me. Make yourselves at home in my love. If you keep my commands, you’ll remain intimately at home in my love. That’s what I’ve done—kept my Father’s commands and made myself at home in his love.

My love for you has been like that of the love my father shows to me shall you live by my laws as I have taught you you shall remain in my love just as the laws my father has given me I also remain in he and in his love

When we live by God’s laws and not those of the world love is always present in and around our lives and it remains deep and pure yet if we live in rule of the world we deny the father and all he offers us and loose the love we have as you loose godly sight and fall into the entertainment and sin of the world and it’s own law

Not By Bread Alone

But Jesus told him, “No! The Scriptures say, ‘People do not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”

Matthew 4:4 NLT

But Jesus answered, “The scripture says, ‘Human beings cannot live on bread alone, but need every word that God speaks.’”

Matthew 4:4 GNT

Jesus answered by quoting Deuteronomy: “It takes more than bread to stay alive. It takes a steady stream of words from God’s mouth.”

Matthew 4:4 MSG

Mankind can not survive on only bread they need the word of God also. The bread feeds them when they are hungry, but the word of God nourishes their inner knowledge and soul teaching them the path to take and the knowledge they need to survive life away from sin and evil. It leads them to the proper path for their own life. The word of God keeps open a relationship with Christ so that he may help lead you along your journey also. To survive humans need both types of food for their life, the food to eat and soul food. For without it man would be lost and unfamiliar with how to think or act or lead themselves to survive they would be clueless and unable to fight off any evil attacks or have knowledge of any path for their future. It would be a boring fear filled journey in the unknown with no place of known start point.

The unimaginable, Nothing Is Too Hard

“O Sovereign Lord! You made the heavens and earth by your strong hand and powerful arm. Nothing is too hard for you!

Jeremiah 32:17 NLT

‘Ah, Lord God! It is you who have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm! Nothing is too hard for you.

Jeremiah 32:17 ESV

Lord of all creation you my lord have made earth and sky to the heavens with your great and powerful hands you God, named God-of-the-Angel-Armies, determined in purpose and relentless in following through, you see everything that men and women do and respond appropriately to the way they live, to the things they do. There is nothing unmanageable for you, you o lord can do it all you can do anything nothing you do is too hard for you. You can move mountains, you can walk on water and part the sea these are unimaginable to our world but you can do anything to

God Won’t Cease Till All Is Finished

And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.

Philippians 1:6 NLT

And so I am sure that God, who began this good work in you, will carry it on until it is finished on the Day of Christ Jesus.

Philippians 1:6 GNT

And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.

Philippians 1:6 ESV

I am so pleased that you have continued on in this with us, believing and proclaiming God’s Message, from the day you heard it right up to the present. There has never been the slightest doubt in my mind that the God who started this great work in you would keep at it and bring it to a flourishing finish on the very day Christ Jesus appears.

Philippians 1:6 MSG

Each of us are created by the makers hands

Knit together in our mother’s womb each of us is given a plan at work from the moment we are created God has a plan for each of us and he began the very work of that plan within you he will not cease till that plan is fulfilled on the day that Christ returns only then is when he will cease his work

Pleased In Honor, Our Sacrifice

Hebrews 13:16 New Living Translation (NLT)

16 Make sure you don’t take things for granted and go slack in working for the common good; share what you have with others. God takes particular pleasure in acts of worship—a different kind of “sacrifice”—that take place in kitchen and workplace and on the streets.

For Christ to be proud and satisfied with us we are told to love one another and do good to one another to be kind to one another for when we obey in that law of his God takes pleasure for these are sacrifices which please him for do not neglect each other or turn your back on each other but be in goodness instead excursive this practice so as others see the good in you and your works and will learn and do the same themselves for this is what honors God and pleases him

To exercise this practice on being good to one another we must” exercise this to all men in need, even to our enemies, as well as to our friends and families, our live ones; and “especially to poor saints, and ministers of the Gospel: and this believers should not “forget”; which shows that it is a duty of importance; and that men are too apt to neglect and should be stirred up unto it”

for with such sacrifices God is well pleased;

For honoring his law of doing good is done in faith, our faith comes love which we learn to love one another, this being directed to the glory of God, for this honor is well pleasing to him; and these sacrifices are preferred by him to legal ones he is watching and hoping that we will be reverent to one another and loving to one another the he will be well pleased

My Words Remain And Prevail

The End Time Series

Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will never disappear.

Matthew 24:35 NLT

“Take a lesson from the fig tree. From the moment you notice its buds form, the merest hint of green, you know summer’s just around the corner. So it is with you: When you see all these things, you’ll know he’s at the door. Don’t take this lightly. I’m not just saying this for some future generation, but for all of you. This age continues until all these things take place. Sky and earth will wear out; my words won’t wear out.

Matthew 24:35 MSG

Several events must take place before Christ’s return and our day of judgement Things that have been already happening now and for years behind us When the events have taken place Jesus told us that heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will never disappear

Matthew 24:35 NLT

This will all take place during the end times

Which several believe we are in those times already so one day the skies and planet will vanish and all part of it but God’s words will always prevail and remain as they are never ending they shall be his words forever

He speaks of the things that must take place before the heavens and earth disappear in Matthew 24:4-15

4 Jesus told them, “Don’t let anyone mislead you, 5 for many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah.’ They will deceive many. 6 And you will hear of wars and threats of wars, but don’t panic. Yes, these things must take place, but the end won’t follow immediately. 7 Nation will go to war against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in many parts of the world. 8 But all this is only the first of the birth pains, with more to come.

9 “Then you will be arrested, persecuted, and killed. You will be hated all over the world because you are my followers.[b] 10 And many will turn away from me and betray and hate each other. 11 And many false prophets will appear and will deceive many people. 12 Sin will be rampant everywhere, and the love of many will grow cold. 13 But the one who endures to the end will be saved. 14 And the Good News about the Kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world, so that all nations[c] will hear it; and then the end will come.

15 “The day is coming when you will see what Daniel the prophet spoke about—the sacrilegious object that causes desecration[d] standing in the Holy Place.” (Reader, pay attention!) here he is explaining what and how this shall come about and warning of the Antichrist who will say he is in his name and is ever powerful like him

In Matthew 24:20-25

He continues on to warn us and tell us what to do as more things we need to be aware of to recognize these times

20 And pray that your flight will not be in winter or on the Sabbath. 21 For there will be greater anguish than at any time since the world began. And it will never be so great again. 22 In fact, unless that time of calamity is shortened, not a single person will survive. But it will be shortened for the sake of God’s chosen ones.

23 “Then if anyone tells you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah,’ or ‘There he is,’ don’t believe it. 24 For false messiahs and false prophets will rise up and perform great signs and wonders so as to deceive, if possible, even God’s chosen ones. 25 See, I have warned you about this ahead of time.

Matthew 24: 36 says

36 “However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself.[k] Only the Father knows.
