Word of Promise

17 May 2012  
     
Psalm 119:49 Remember the Word to Your servant, on which You have caused me to hope. This is my comfort in my affliction; for Your Word has given me life.

There are 150 Psalms and each of these has place in bringing us to understand the relationship that God desires for us, with Him, with others and most importantly in understanding ourselves. As we read these we should understand that promise and word are interchangeable, for it is in the Word that the promises of God are fulfilled to all mankind. For in the beginning was the Word (promise) of God.

So if all the Psalms are read and we come to use them in helping us to understand the promises contained in them, it should be logical to them appropriate those promises God’s Word into our lives. In this way Jesus truly becomes our Emmanuel (God with us) and in so doing we conclude that we are part of the fulfilled promise of God, in our now and in our eternity. God is unchanging so we who are sinners are made whole by breathing in the Word so that the Word becomes part of us. The Psalms helps us on this journey of understanding.

Be encouraged today to make the Psalms part of your journey.
 
David
 
Point to ponder: God speaks to us in His Word.
 
Question to consider: Could you read a portion of the Psalms each day?

Please if you need to send this to some one please do. If you want any help or advice I will be happy to try and help. dhutt@mweb.co.za
