Lord. Keeping the word of <strong>God</strong> <strong>an</strong>d was a beautiful<br />
pra<strong>is</strong>e that was offered to Chr<strong>is</strong>t the redeemer for h<strong>is</strong><br />
love <strong>an</strong>d mercy.<br />
Have you ever wondered from where does king David<br />
finds words to pra<strong>is</strong>e <strong>God</strong>? From <strong>an</strong> experienced<br />
heart King David testifies about the beauty of the<br />
words of <strong>God</strong>.<br />
As the word reaches the soul <strong>an</strong>d enters into the<br />
depths of the heart it cle<strong>an</strong>s it from every sin <strong>an</strong>d<br />
illuminated with the love of <strong>God</strong>. Then the Lords<br />
come <strong>an</strong>d dwell in <strong>our</strong> hearts <strong>an</strong>d ch<strong>an</strong>ge <strong>our</strong> nature<br />
to become pure <strong>an</strong>d holy. From here words of pra<strong>is</strong>e<br />
to <strong>God</strong> becomes a natural habit th<strong>an</strong>king him for H<strong>is</strong><br />
great mercy, “Y<strong>our</strong> word <strong>is</strong> a lamp to my feet <strong>an</strong>d a<br />
light to my path.”<br />
“The fear of the Lord <strong>is</strong> pure, enduring forever <strong>an</strong>d<br />
ever” Have you ever marveled at the me<strong>an</strong>ing of th<strong>is</strong><br />
verse, how c<strong>an</strong> fear be pure <strong>an</strong>d endures for ever?<br />
King David guided by the Holy Spirit puts a synonym<br />
to the law of <strong>God</strong> which <strong>is</strong> “fear”.<br />
Out of <strong>our</strong> love to <strong>God</strong> we fear him, knowing that h<strong>is</strong><br />
words are a guide for us in <strong>our</strong> lives. Those words are<br />
pure without blem<strong>is</strong>h or corruption that they endure<br />
for ever <strong>an</strong>d ever. In addition, we find peace <strong>an</strong>d<br />
pleasure in obeying h<strong>is</strong> comm<strong>an</strong>d<strong>an</strong>ts. As a result we<br />
say with King David: “Pra<strong>is</strong>e the LORD! Blessed <strong>is</strong> the<br />
m<strong>an</strong> who fears the LORD, Who delights greatly in H<strong>is</strong><br />
comm<strong>an</strong>dments.” (Psalm 112:1)<br />
Have you felt unfair, judged by others <strong>an</strong>d that <strong>is</strong> the<br />
world <strong>is</strong> against you? Great news, for King David has<br />
assured us saying: “the judgments of the Lord are<br />
true, <strong>an</strong>d justified altogether.” Although King David<br />
was <strong>an</strong>ointed as a king in h<strong>is</strong> youth, the prom<strong>is</strong>e of<br />
<strong>God</strong> regarding h<strong>is</strong> reign was not fulfilled until years<br />
after in which he has suffered greatly from King Soul.<br />
What kept King David going in life was h<strong>is</strong> trust in<br />
the words of <strong>God</strong> <strong>an</strong>d h<strong>is</strong> prom<strong>is</strong>es, for <strong>our</strong> <strong>God</strong> <strong>is</strong> a<br />
just Judge. For m<strong>an</strong>y generations the word of <strong>God</strong><br />
has given hope to m<strong>an</strong>y <strong>an</strong>d restored lives, “The<br />
LORD <strong>is</strong> my strength <strong>an</strong>d my song; he has become<br />
my salvation. He <strong>is</strong> my <strong>God</strong>, <strong>an</strong>d I will pra<strong>is</strong>e him, my<br />
father’s <strong>God</strong>, <strong>an</strong>d I will exalt him.” (Exodus 15:2)<br />
I lift up my heart to <strong>God</strong> with King David saying: “The<br />
desires of H<strong>is</strong> heart are chosen more th<strong>an</strong> gold <strong>an</strong>d<br />
precious stone, <strong>an</strong>d sweeter th<strong>an</strong> honey <strong>an</strong>d the<br />
honey comb.” After reading the Bible, <strong>an</strong>d seeing the<br />
w<strong>is</strong>dom <strong>an</strong>d justice of <strong>our</strong> <strong>God</strong> nothing else sat<strong>is</strong>fies<br />
us. The world <strong>an</strong>d all its desires becomes nothing<br />
against the truth, ordin<strong>an</strong>ces, <strong>an</strong>d justice of <strong>our</strong> Lord.<br />
Therefore, <strong>our</strong> hearts then pra<strong>is</strong>e <strong>God</strong> day <strong>an</strong>d night<br />
th<strong>an</strong>king him for h<strong>is</strong> great mercy.<br />
Therefore my brethren, lets us all keep the comm<strong>an</strong>d<strong>an</strong>t<br />
of <strong>God</strong> daily in <strong>our</strong> hearts <strong>an</strong>d mind. In keeping<br />
H<strong>is</strong> words there will be a protection against evil, it<br />
will lift up <strong>our</strong> spirit, <strong>an</strong>d gr<strong>an</strong>t us peace. For <strong>God</strong> has<br />
prepared a daily m<strong>an</strong>ual for us in <strong>our</strong> life to guide us.<br />
Then, all h<strong>is</strong> creation testified about its ordin<strong>an</strong>ces<br />
<strong>an</strong>d justice. So let us also left <strong>our</strong> heart <strong>an</strong>d unite<br />
with <strong>our</strong> heavenly church to pra<strong>is</strong>e <strong>our</strong> lord the<br />
Greater. For Truly <strong>our</strong> <strong>God</strong> <strong>is</strong> <strong>an</strong> <strong>awesome</strong> <strong>God</strong>.<br />
