“How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than
honey to my mouth!” Psalms 119:103 KJV
Most of God’s words are messages of love. Even the passages
that demonstrate his righteousness and judgment are out of love. He only
corrects those he loves. It was explained to me with this story. One of my
children and another are down the street fighting. I break it up and which one
do I discipline? My own child of course not the child that is not mine. The New
Testament says those he loves he rebukes! To the child of God all of his words
are sweet and I am so glad for his love for me and my family!
Another verse that stood out to me recently is this:
“Forever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven.” Psalms
119:89 KJV
This verse is comforting
because it lets me know that there is a truth that is established in heaven and
outside of my control. Call it absolute if you want but I find it comforting to
know that God has settled things and my role is to learn them, accept them and
put them in place in my life. Think about it, how troubling would it be to end
up with a strong belief system but a belief in the wrong system. Paul says in
Hebrews that those who run the race must follow the rules of the race or be
disqualified, my paraphrase. He also states in another place that he can do
"nothing against the truth but for the truth". Even the great apostle
knew there was an unassailable truth and it was his charge to dispenses to the
Gentiles which he has done.
So what I'm trying to say
is that we need to seek God and he will reveal himself if we seek him earnestly
and honestly. "Prove me now say of the Lord" is often mentioned in
the Old Testament. Those with faith sought out the truth and truth seekers will
find it through God's help.
