Great words to consider especially when we may be challenged with an intense health concern. There is something to experience in meditating upon these words that brings the reality of trust and the ability to withstand the problem while opening up to that which would assist in the situation for real preservation to be known. Lifting up our minds and hearts to the solid nature of God acknowledging His constant resurrecting power helps to settle the heart and indeed open the mind to what is required. It may not immediately dawn upon us what is required however a steadfast acknowledgement that God does have all the answers that can be known moment by moment brings the ability to move through and master challenging situations.
HE THAT DOETH THESE THINGS SHALL NEVER BE MOVED.
Psalm 15 has keys to abiding in the tabernacle and dwelling in the holy hill of God. As these things are done we shall never be moved out of the experience of excellence and high understanding. It worth the time to consider such matters as the following:
Honoring those who revere the Lord
Speaking the truth in our heart
Not putting our money out to usury
Not taking reward against the innocent
Not doing evil to our neighbor
Not taking up a reproach against our neighbor
Backbiting not with our tongue
Walking uprightly
Doing right.
HE THAT SPEAKETH THE TRUTH IN HEART
How well do we speak the truth that is in our heart? Let’s consider how best we may articulate words that spring from a true place in our heart. A place that looks to bless those we are with. A place that brings an awareness of our highest sensing of purpose.
MY HEART SHALL REJOICE IN THY SALVATION
Our salvation comes as we acknowledge its source and rejoice in it. It is always at hand. When we are fretting about something it may seem non existent. We only need to turn in the right direction to know it again and continually.
THE WORDS OF THE LORD ARE PURE WORDS: AS SILVER TRIED IN THE FURNACE OF THE EARTH, PURIFIED SEVEN TIMES.
How are our words purified in the circumstances of the our life? When we recognize words that we may have spoken as ‘not right,” do we take note and let it serve as a new reference point for future conversations. As we try the words we speak in the fire of purification we do much to serve the Lord in increasing His influences on earth as well as finding greater fulfillment in our lives. Let’s let our words be tried in the furnace of our interchanges with each other. And be patient in the process, it may take at least seven times before we get it right.
THOU WILT PREPARE THEIR HEART
The correction we feel we need to make in our lives is prompted by our integrity which is a gift of awareness from the Lord. At times we may not feel like it is a gift rather it may feel more like a thorn in our side. When we do acknowledge the changes we need to make and actually make them we are further gifted from the Lord with more abundant life. Granted it may take a little time to notice the benefits of the changes. Hang in there and in time you will rejoice.
HE FORGETTETH NOT THE CRY OF THE HUMBLE
What is the cry of the humble? Is it a cry of desperation or does it relate more to a stance of humbleness toward the Lord? Do we cry out only when we are in pain or in a dire need? Has God really forsaken us? The presence of the Lord is always at hand. It is our attitudes that determine whether we cut ourselves off from His presence and really forsake ourselves. The attitudes of thankfulness, appreciation, patience and ever constant praise keeps us open to allowing the presence of the Lord to find his way in and through our lives even in times of desperation or abundance.
MINE ENEMIES FALL AND PERISH AT THY PRESENCE
Nothing can withstand the presence of the Lord that is not of His Nature. Enemies can be looked at as qualities such as hate, shame, fear and greed. Such things do not exist in the presence of the Lord’s understanding, purity, love and givingness. Let’s live in such ways and we shall know the power and victory of the Lord.
THOU MADEST HIM TO HAVE DOMINION OVER THE WORKS OF HIS HANDS
We each have a large responsibility. There is much in the earth that is dependent on our right function. How shall we honor it? Our living tells the tale.
O LORD OUR LORD, HOW EXCELLENT IS THY NAME IN ALL THE EARTH
Excellence springs from the core of all things.When this core is acknowledged excellence is found and honored. As this is done our hearts rightly give thanks and praise and our minds our gifted with peace and control. Continue in your days recognizing this truth and soon the excellence of acknowledging the Lord will gift you with treasures beyond belief.
