THE HEART [10]


Today Bible study begins with Psalm 112 verse seven which reads:

Psalm 112:7King James Version

7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord.

Here we find the writer has a fixed or complete focus on God’s Holy Word.This is a great lesson for us as we go down life’s road; to live by keeping our heart in tune with our Creator.Walking with a trusting heart. In verse eight we read”8 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.” Here we see a steadfast heart seeking guidance from God’s word.

The last Psalm we look at today is Psalm 119 which has it’s theme of one loving to read God’s word with a honest ,pure, steadfast heart seeking God’s will.You will notice this in the verses I share from this Psalm. verse two reads”2 Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.” We move down to verse seven and read:

7 “I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments.” Now turn to verse ten that states “10 With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments.” The writer here is searching God’s word with a whole heart, honest and true praising his Creator for His statutes.We as followers of Christ should read God’s word the same way today. Let’s skip down to verses 32-34 and read:

Psalm 119:32-34King James Version

32 “I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart.

33 Teach me, O Lord, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it unto the end.

34 Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.”

These verses teach us that we need to follow God and His word with a whole heart; this is the theme for Psalm 119.

The last verse today I share is verse 111.111 Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart.

A wonderful verse to end our study of Psalm 119 on the condition of the heart.

I finish this study about the heart in Psalms with this verse.

Psalm 147:3 King James Version

3 He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.

The Touch of My Fathers Hand!

The Touch of Fathers Hand!   When I was young and being bad, I thank God for the dad I had, He would not beat me, But he would guide, With words of wisdom, Obtained from God’s word, He kept by his side. Every night I would wait, Watching him come down the hill, Walking from work To enjoy his family, While supper we ate. Dad made sure his family, Went to Church each Sunday, To learn about Jesus, That He was the truth, the Life, And the way, We would sing “Jesus loves me,” And ” This is my Father’s world”. I thank God, For my father, And his leading me, To know the Master, And a home with Jesus, For Eternity. Thank you dad, And thank you Heavenly Father, For loving me, And loving others, for Eternity! ~Winston Staples

WHEN I AM WEAK!

COMFORT FOR THE WEAK As this old body gets weak And the pain grows great, And I find it hard to pray, As my headaches get worse everyday. I can no longer read God’s word, And meditate on message, That is heard. My friend Ed Sealy, wrote these words, In a song, He sings so well. Titled ” Caught in The Balances” The words go like this: ” Lord I’d love to praise you, But my body’s to weak, I can’t read your Word To hear as you speak, But I have your presence, You promised to me, When I”m caught in the balances, Trusting in Thee.” This is the first verse of the song; I trust you will enjoy it! ~ Winston Staples

TIME!

Time! Posted on   September 1, 2023   by   wint68,70pluswint Today another month came into being; it is hard to believe how quickly time passes. Summer is about gone for another year and the scent of Fall is in the air; humming birds will soon leave and the leaves will change color and fall.What does the Bible say about time? Time is spoken about over 700 times but today I am looking in the book of Romans. Paul talks about time, righteousness and Jesus beginning in chapter three.I am using my KJV.Romans 3: 26  To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.In chapter five verses six and eighteen we read: 6  For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 18  Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.Romans 9: 9  For this is the word of promise, At t
