The
Devotional
Comment:
As citizens of the United States of America, most of us do
not understand poverty in ways that are expressed in the Holy Bible, nor do we
understand this by the incredible poverty of the world around us. Even when it
comes to a drink of pure water, most of us go to the faucet and quench our
thirst immediately. Also, there is an abundance of religion in the United
States of America, in fact there is an abundance of religion throughout the
world around us, yet most Citizens of the U.S.A. are starved in their soul of
the statutes, judgments, precepts, laws and the fear of the LORD. This too is
true throughout the world of the millions beyond number, of the souls of people
who hunger and thirst for God. Yet to quench that thirst they look to ‘religion’
and not to the ‘Alpha and Omega’ of TRUTH who is Jesus the Messiah of God –Revelation
1:8 and 11.
Devotional:
Psalm 119:25-32 – The LORD/Messiah is the Son of the Living
God, He is found in every Book of the Holy Bible. The Holy Bible does not
suggest this truth, it DECLARES it to be so. So whether you believe it or not,
does not change this TRUTH in any way. When we are starved by the declarations
of the lies of religion our souls cling to the dust, dust is all that is left
for the soul when the Word of God is absent.
There are a remnant of men and women who have a soul that
flourishes because it is fed with the washing of the water by the Word. Church
is where we go to learn this truth, notice in Ephesians 5:22-33 the picture of
human marriage of one man for one woman, reveals ONE Christ for His ONE true Church.
Thus EXCLUDING all RELIGION. Religion then becomes idolatry (the worship of God
with false motives) this leads to immorality (religion is adultery with the
gods of religion).
The psalmist seeks for God to open his eyes to the wondrous
attributes of God’s law, since he and people like him are really strangers in
the earth, so it is the commandments of God that keeps us alert in a strange
and dying land. Have you noticed how your soul breaks when you witness sin in
the lives of your friends, relatives and media? Psalm 119:158 – adds to this
thought by saying that we see the treacherous and we become disgusted because
they fail to keep the law of Truth.
If you have chosen the way of Truth, then the soul within
you does not rely on the dust (religion) of the earth for nourishment since it
is fed by God Himself. As we search out His judgments, He will not allow us to
be put to shame like the rest of the world’s idolatry, He will graciously grant
us wisdom in His Word to keep us from the world’s immorality. We daily lay out
the Word of the Judgments of God before our eyes and yes, our soul clings to
the LORD’s Testimonies and we eagerly run the course and pathway of His
Commandments.
Our souls do not whether from the dry and thirsty land of
false religions, nor do we commit adultery with the Word of the Living God, our
souls are nourished in TRUTH, we heart/soul has been made LARGE in the ways of
God our Savior, in other words our desire is for the Will of God to be at work
on this earth even as it is being accomplish in heaven; Matthew 6:10, today and
forever you are the REDEEMED of God through His Word and your FAITH in Jesus
the Living Word – 1 John 1-4.
