The day with dianne Louise

Help me understand the meaning of Your precepts so that I can meditate on Your wonders. Psalm 119:27 Do you ever puzzle about what the word of God is saying to you? Have you ever assumed you knew what the word of God was saying and rushed off, too soon, and ended up with egg on your face? When I truly 'get it' illumination floods my heart and I rejoice. When I 'get it' I will go for a walk and think about it. In my working life I am constantly solving problems and every now and then I am stumped, so I go for a walk, do something different and preferably something creative. Suddenly I get it. My spirit lifts and I can move on. I love to wait for illumination, this is where the life is. As I wait upon The Lord His word comes alive and I am renewed by the revelation. Read His word and look for what He is saying, that is where the life is! Amen!

I told You about my life, and You listened to me; teach me Your statutes. Psalm 119:26 The beautiful thing about Jesus Christ is that He is a personal God and He listens. He invites is into a relationship with Him because He delights in us and wants to be involved with us. In any relationship there is a two way communication. We talk to Him and He talks to us. How does He talk to us? Primarily through His word made alive in our spirits but also our spirits echo with His loving whispers. Jesus Christ is not a harsh dictator, on the contrary He is a loving God. He came and lived like us and experienced all that we experience, the same fears and the same temptations. He knows what we face but He also has the answers as He worked through all of this and did it with faith in His Father. He did not sin in His walk so now He can show us the way to life, If we let Him. Invite him in today and watch your life transform. Amen!

Your decrees are my delight and my counsellors. Psalm 119:24 We have a world hell bent on doing its own thing and rejecting anything that even hints of authority. However, the path of this 'individualism' is fraught with difficulty and is very lonely. The funny things is that as I yield to the Lordship of Christ I become a whole individual who's parameters are righteousness and integrity, full of fulfilment, no guilt, no shame, no scratching the eyes out of the competition, rather lovingly making room. Submission to godliness is good, so good. He is so good, His love is so, so satisfying, soooo good! Not my way but his way! Try it!

I am a stranger on earth; Do not hide Your commands from me. I am continually overcome with longing for Your judgements. Psalm 119:19,20 I love these verses. The author capture my dependence on The Lord. My prayer is: 'lord You must speak to me, stay close I depend on You.' I am overcome with longing for the mind of The Lord. His way is my delight. His thoughts are my desires. I have discovered there is no better place than in His courts, His presence. His blood is my salvation, my life. In Him I am complete, in Him I have direction, in Him I am blessed. Amen!

I have treasured Your word in my heart, so that I might not sin against you. Psalm 119:11 Treasuring something will prevent sin. If you genuinely love someone you will not steal from them; commit adultery with them; hate them; abuse them; cheat them; dishonour them. Jesus told us to love The Lord our God with our whole heart and soul and mind and to love others as ourselves. If we do that, there is no room for self; no room for the fleshly lusts; no room for laziness; no room abuse. We then honour Him with our bodies. We are His temple and we care for it. We honour others as they are His as well. Get passionate folks! Let the fire burn! Amen!

Happy are those who keep His decrees and seek Him with all their heart. They do nothing wrong; They follow His ways. Psalm 119:3 A sure deliverance from guilt is to live in Him and not just force oneself to abide by rules and regulations. The psalmist had the law, we have Christ. His blood was the perfect sacrifice, He fulfilled all the requirements of the law. How can I live in that victory? by faith in the Son of God who saved me. In Him I am complete, in Him I am righteous, in Him I am abundantly blessed, in Him I am healed of all infirmity, in Him I have a relationship with my Heavenly Father. Today I am called to do mighty deeds in His name. I have been given all the tools I need. Be blessed! Amen!

There are great shouts of joy and victory in the tents if the righteous: 'the Lord's right hand performs valiantly! The Lord's right hand is raised. The Lord's right hand performs valiantly!'psalm 118:15,16 When you really get it that God is for you an let go of all your need to control then you will rejoice as you see your God do His stuff. You begin to know His presence and learn to bask in it. When all the controls have stopped then joy comes as you begin to see: GOD LOVES YOU! His love is so consistent and faithful there is no need for fear. As you allow him to rule you begin to see who you really are: a child of God destined for greatness and blessed abundantly. Allow to 'lift His right hand' in your world. Go on! And enjoy the ride!
