Devotions from Psalms 119

My great need is to pray more and to get into God's Word more, and Psalms 119 is a powerful tool that I rely on over and over.

The structure of Psalms 119 is unique. Almost every verse is both a prayer and a comment on The Word of God, and can stand alone. There are 8 verses per grouping and each grouping starts with a letter of the Hebrew alphabet as a memory aid.

The verses are supremely motivating to DRAW ME INTO PRAYER AND THE WORD OF GOD SIMULTANEOUSLY!

I come back to this chapter repeatedly for my meditation. I can not say enough about how motivating this chapter is, if you will pursue it like a lifetime treasure hunt!

biblegateway, Psalms 119

¹⁵I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways.

There are ways, or paths that God chooses. The way of fatherhood or motherhood, the way of the father or a mother, the way of a believer.

God has chosen the method of pathways  to be a lesson teaching tool. 

The world's method are classrooms and theaters, where every word is scripted and nuanced, where there is heavy competition for the best parts or best grades, where myths are perpetuated, where the audience or class is encouraged to worship the heroes.

The pathway is unscripted. Honest hearts are encouraged. There are plenty of opportunities to observe life, to compare, to allow God to reveal, to define and journal what we have seen.

We are so in love with the theater of the world that we tend to look down on the pathways that God has called us to.

I am "just" a husband. I am "just" a child. I am "just" a believer. I am "just" a mother. ???!!!

Friend, in God's Kingdom, which we are to seek, there is no such thing as "just a" anything. We are children of the Lion of Judah, the King of Kings, The Master Shepherd. 

We are lion cubs, Princes and Princesses, shepherd's.

I am a father, a husband, a believer. I am honored that God has called me to these pathways.

I give myself and you permission to praise God for Who He is, and thank Him for what He does.

Why God Grieves Over New York

It is a bit presumptive of me, yet I must do this every so often. I must speak on God's behalf.


If I get it wrong, I'm heaping up special punishment from God. The Word of God is clear.


Yet God does rely on His ambassadors to speak on His behalf. To fail to speak for Him when He is deeply offended would be to fail my duty as a preacher of the Gospel.


God is offended by the news of gay marriages legalized in New York this week.


New York state legalizes gay marriages.

Others can speak about Bible verses and examples better than I, so I will not at this time.


What I do have unique insight on is the rest of the story on why God finds this so revolting.


It has to do with the original gay creature, Lucifer himself.
Lucifer's desire from the beginning has been to posses God Almighty Himself as a marriage of two equals, with Satan being the dominate partner.


God's creation, including Lucifer, was designed and made to be submissive, just as a woman was designed and created to be submissive to a man.


Since God, and only God has the infinite capacity to understand the eternal consequences of His every decision, it makes sense that He should be boss not only of the universe, but our lives as well. Since He made us, we belong to Him. Since His Son redeemed us on the Cross, we belong to Him twice.


The spiritual created being has an organ called the heart which is designed for the Almighty God to reside in. 
This presence in the heart of one of His creatures causes a fullness of joy, even greater than the fullness of joy felt in the heart of a woman when her man abides in her submissive organ, which I call her heart.


There is no similar spiritual organ in God the Father for He is not designed, nor could He ever be submissive. His purpose, supported by every fiber of His being is to rule, a job which He has done flawlessly. Any blame for tragedy in this life can not be laid at the feet of God.


For Satan to dominate God in a way that God is freely capable of, Satan would have to commit spiritual sodomy.


Because God is God, He sees the eternal consequences of same sex type marriage, including the one Satan desires, an Eternal All powerful God dominated by a jealous, cruel, manipulative, murderous, lying Satan.


The nature of a same sex marriage between Satan and God, both in every day life style, and long range consequences would be infinitely painful to God, and destructively disastrous for all of His Creation, namely us.


Marriages are to be a picture and a prophecy of The Eternal Marriage, and the gay marriages in New York are falsely prophesying the victory of Satan over God, and His Eternal Submission to a being who has usurped Him, and has no love for God's creation. 


The thought of that makes God want to vomit.


No wonder He reacted so passionately and violently to the ongoing homosexual gang rapes of Sodom and Gomorrah.


By the way, I'd like to hazard a guess as to the name of Lot's wife. Morton.

Pray for Norway

Pray for Norway after Lone Gunman Massacre

A lone gunman detonated two large explosions in downtown Norway, then drove to an island where many young people had gathered after the explosions. He began shooting every one on the island.

Many young people fled to the water, which was too far to swim back to the mainland. The gunman later began to pursue and shoot those in the water.

Latest death toll count was 91, and is expected to rise. One young man survived by screaming at the shooter, who spared him. Another hid among the bodies in the water. The shooter came so close he could feel the heat of the gun barrel.

Any philosophy without God in complete charge becomes godless and destructive. The shooter was "a conservative fundamentalist" and a "freedom lover". He hated the Muslim philosophy.

He was 31 years old, and from a wealthy family. He loved to hunt, and had access to guns. He had an organic farm, and had access to fertilizer.

By taking freedom and justice into his own hands, we duplicate the worst of the philosophy we despise.

Lord Jesus, wrap your arms of comfort around grieving families. Take control of our childish minds.

Protect our children from predators. Let the shepherds who guard our children discern the wolves.

Hoosier Politicians

Democratic Senator Evan Bayh was not supported by pro abortion group Planned Parenthood. He voted against
partial birth abortion.

Hoosiers excel at a lot of things, not the least of which is their political thinking, which is why Hoosiers don't fare as well nationally. Hoosiers politicians, both parties, have a higher standard for honesty, positive campaigning, bipartisanship, moderation, and godly (prolife, marriage, restrained borrowing) politics than national politics as a whole. Just my observation.

Republican Senator Dick Lugar has drawn criticism
for his bipartisanship.

Congressman Joe Donelly was one of a handful of democrats to vote
against stem cell research.

Former Democratic Congressman Tim Roemer was prolife.

Former Vice President Dan Quayle was
strongly attacked by liberals for his socially conservative views.
