A Daily Devotional –Gospel – The Eternal Word

Comment: My wife and I continually read a section of Psalm 119 everyday, we also read a chapter of Proverbs, the one that corresponds to the date of the day. Now I do not say this to brag on our religion, since we do not have a religion. If there be anything true, noble, just, pure, lovely, of good report, virtuous or praiseworthy in this testimony it is because Philippians 4:8 is real peace for anyone who is willing to meditate on the Living Word of God. Daily in our reading, God brings Light to our soul, words that we have read hundreds of times, yet for the purposes of fellowship and meditation, God speaks peace and assurance that He is with us. God accepts the freewill offerings of our soul and teaches us His judgments; He protects us even when we take our lives out of His Hands and fumble around with it in our fleshly hands (Psalm 119:108-109).

Devotional: In the earlier section of Psalm 119, we read in verses 103-104 the Words of God are sweet to our taste, sweeter than honey to our mouth! We understand that the Psalmist is not referring to his physical mouth, but he does compare the physical pleasure of eating sweet things with the soul’s desire to be fed the ‘precepts of God’ these teach us physically, spiritually and mentally to dislike the bitterness of the false and evil way of life.

This involvement in the Word of God (meditation) allows us to increase our faith and know of certainty that Christ is risen from the dead. That He is the firstfruit of those who have fallen asleep (died). For since by man (Adam) death became real in all lives, also by MAN (Jesus Christ), all who believe in Him will be made alive. The mystery of this goes away when we use FAITH to believe, since without faith it is impossible to believe God, Hebrews 11:6, God rewards everyone who believes in Him through the gospel.

1 Corinthians 15:20-28 reveals to the one who meditates on Truth that God through Jesus Christ His only begotten Son will set apart and make holy every person who believes the gospel. For in Adam, all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. This Truth not only provides for eternal life for those who believe, but it also provides faithful insight that once the last enemy (death) is defeated, God will be ALL IN ALL, meaning that sin and death will no longer EXIST. Hallelujah, Amen!
