♥JANUARY 7 DEVOTION♥
SCRIPTURE:
Psalms 119:9-11
[9]BETH. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way?【do we know how or do we have the answer for this? The question is simple but everyone of us has their own opinion about this, each one of us has their own recommendation about how to solve this issue but sad to say human wisdom fails and it is corrupted and we humans dont really have a real solution for this for we are fallen from the beginning】【THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION▷{by taking heed thereto according to thy word.}【THE ANSWER THAT WE NEED IS THIS, THE WORD OF GOD IS WHAT WE NEED FOR IT COMES FROM THE MOUTH OF GOD AND THE GOD WE SERVE CANNOT LIE AND HE IS FOR US NOT AGAINST US, HE WANTS US TO LEARN HIS WAYS, HE WANTS US TO GROW, AND HE WANTS US TO BE VICTORIOUS AGAINST SIN AND DEATH!】
{Sa paano lilinisin ng isang binata ang kaniyang daan? Sa pagdinig doon ayon sa iyong salita.}
[10]With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments.
Hinanap kita ng aking buong puso: Oh huwag nawa akong malihis sa iyong mga utos.
[11]Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.【IT IS BY GIVING OUR WHOLE HEART TO HIS WORD THAT WE WILL OVERCOME EVERY HARD TRIALS AND TEMPTATIONS IN OUR LIVES, GOD ALREADY GIVEN US HIS RELIABLE GUIDANCE THROUGH HIS WORD AND ALL THAT WE HAVE TO DO IS TO TRUST HIM WITH OUR WHOLE HEART, DO YOU EVEN REALIZED HOE BLESSED YOU ARE? THAT THE GOD WHO LOVED YOU IS WILLING TO CHANGE YOU? HE WILL GIVE YOU HOPE, HE WILL GIVE YOU JOY AND PEACE, HE WILL COMFORT YOU,HE WILL ALWAYS BE THERE FOR YOU EVEN IF YOU ARE ALL ALONE, HE IS AWARE OF EVERYTHING AND HE IS WILLING TO EMBRACE YOU AS HIS DEARLY BELOVED SON AND DAUGHTER, FOR WHOM HE LOVES, HE LOVES UNTIL THE END, IT IS AN INFINITE LOVE OFFERED BY AN INFINITE GOD GIVEN TO ALL FINITE BEING HE CREATED.
Ang salita mo'y aking iningatan sa aking puso: upang huwag akong magkasala laban sa iyo.
APPLICATION AND CONCLUSION:
AS A YOUNG MAN OR WOMAN IN THE FAITH, IF EVER YOU HAVE COME TO A POINT WHERE YOU DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU WILL DO IN YOUR LIFE, THE WORD OF THE LORD TELLS YOU THAT YOU CAN TRUST HIM, HE IS FAITHFUL AND THOSE WHO TRUST HIM WILL NEVER BE DISAPPOINTED. SEEK HIM IN HIS WORD AND PRAYER! LET US LEARN HOW TO WALK AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE LET US NOT TARRY IN OUR WORK OF THE LORD FOR WE DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH TIME WE HAVE LEFT. NOW IS THE TIME OF REDEMPTION AND SALVATION FOR ALL WHO HAVE SINNED AGAINST HIM, WHAT'S HOLDING YOU BACK? THE GRACE IS POURED OUT BEFORE YOU, TASTE AND SEE THAT THE LORD IS GOOD, BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO TAKE REFUGE IN HIM! CONSIDER EVERY DAY AS LAST SO THAT WE WILL COUNT EVERY PRECIOUS MOMENT GIVEN BY GOD TO US. LET US SET ASIDE THE PRIDE IN OUR HEARTS, LET US HUMBLE OURSELVES BEFORE HIM! PRIDE STRIVES TO TAKE AWAY THE GLORY THAT BELONGS TO HIM THAT IS WHY IT IS SO OFFENSIVE TO GOD. BE HUMBLE, SURRENDER YOUR PRIDE TO THE LORD, ASK HIM TO GIVE YOU A NEW HEART! AND ONLY THEN YOU WILL BE CHANGE, BUT KNOW THIS! THE EVIDENCE THAT YOU HAVE BEEN CHANGE FROM WITHIN IS BY THE CHANGE OF YOUR LIFESTYLE BUT I'M NOT SAYING THAT YOU ARE NOW PERFECT IN EVERY WAYS. THE SALVATION THAT YOU HAVE OBTAINED IS GIVING YOU CONFIDENCE NOT ON YOUR OWN LIFE, WORKS OR WHATSOEVER BUT IN HIS UNFAILING LOVE THAT HE SHOWED YOU IN THE CROSS!♥
BLESSED BE THE GOD AND THE FATHER OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST! TO HIM ALL THE GLORY AND HONOR AND POWER NOW AND FOREVER! PRAISE HIM ALL YE NATIONS, SING TO HIM! REJOICE IN HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS! DECLARE HIS MIGHTY WORKS! REVERE HIS HOLINESS! BLESSED BE THE NAME OF THE LORD!
