"Over the Top"

"Unless thy law had been my delight, I should then have perished in mine affliction." (Psalms 119:92)

 You would not believe how many times I have wanted to continue another day on some of this verses; but I made the choice to not stop going from verse to verse every single day. Odd title, I know; but if you can just bear with me, I am sure it will be made perfectly clear, somehow. Taking these last three verses into consideration, there are three very important things that they all have in common: Surety! There is simply no other way to explain it, but God has given this example in all that He has created, everything! The most important thing of all, is His Word! How important is God's Word? God's Word is the most important thing that there is; even so much, He has magnified His Word above His Name. (Psalms 138:2) I hope that we can understand the importance of this, and why it is that this can give us such comfort and peace. When we talk about the fact that He chose us, we should consider how that is represented when it comes to adoption and being given inheritance in something that we were previously not entitled to being a part of. This is something we cannot walk away from, even if we tried! I know, there are great disputes and arguments about the difference between whether our salvation can be lost or taken away; but this is something all together different. What we are talking about here is the realm of His perspective, no that of our own. God knows the beginning to the end! When it comes to the conclusion of the matter, that is His domain, not ours. This is something that we need to take comfort in and cherish it like there is no other way...

"For even Christ didn't live to please himself. As the Scriptures say, "The insults of those who insult you, O God, have fallen on me." Such things were written in the Scriptures long ago to teach us. And the Scriptures give us hope and encouragement as we wait patiently for God's promises to be fulfilled." (Romans 15:3-4) NLT
