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 />
