I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts. Psalms 119:100 KJV
David during his time was an influential leader who always made room for God; He loved the laws (words) of God and meditated on them. Psalms 119:97. Some people have this wrong idea that serving God prevents you from enjoying yourself which is totally wrong, reason being that the ways of the Lord does not accommodate filthiness; in order to carry out ungodly acts people often hide under the deceit that it is not favorable. The so-called freedom we crave to have outside of the word of God is a ploy by the devil that leads to destruction.
Keeping the ways of God is the way to settlement in life; it brings unprecedented wisdom upon your life and makes you stand out. With God it doesn’t matter how old you are; once you subscribe to Him you become entitled to His very life that protects you from the wickedness of the world.
By shunning evil, David understood more than the ancients; for someone God is telling you to forsake that sinful path and face Him alone and He promises to take you to a realm you’ve never been before. To go far with God, you must drop every negative weight that pulls you down and hate every false way. Live your life based on the commandments of God.
Today’s thought: “Every action with God has a result.”
Keynote: Delight in the Lord; and He will teach you good judgment and knowledge.
Counsel: Going astray brings affliction. Let the words of God abide in your heart to shield you from going astray.
Prayer: The grace to keep the word of God is released upon my life going forward in Jesus’ name, amen.
