Blessed is the man You instruct, O Lord, and teach out of Your law.”
Dear God,
Thank You for my life, but most of all for Your love which formed me in my mother’s womb, and has sustained me all the while, within my personal experience upon a portion of Your creation = earth, within a vast universe, beyond human knowledge. Despite what many would think, as the Creator, You own all this creation, which was perfect from Your hands, until on this earth Satan got Adam to sin, and ever since perfect creation became afflicted by sin and death. But the ramifications of sin go further than the sin affected earth, for we have and continue to spew poisonous gases into the atmosphere, and have left garbage circulating in the skies.
Ever since Adam sinned in the Garden of Eden, people throughout the generations, have mostly continued in sinful, rebellion against God, and most have not loved You as God, or reverenced You as their Creator. The writer of Psalm 94, bemoans what the wicked were doing at that time, and it is obvious that the wicked have not departed from amongst us in these times, and his words are still pertinent, V3 “Lord, how long will the wicked triumph?” Apparently in Old Testament times the wicked boasted about themselves, ’killed widows, strangers and fatherless’; it is not a surprise that all of these activities are an issue in the world during our time as well! The wicked went a step further and mocked God, V7 “Yet they say, ‘The Lord does not see, nor does the God of Jacob understand.” For those who take the time to research into Your interventions in answer to earnest prayers have found, there are many records of amazing answers that defy the physical laws of nature or chance. Please open the eyes of many unbelievers and mockers of this world, so they are given a chance to believe in You and accept Your love. V8, 9 “Understand, you senseless among the people; and you fools, when will you be wise? He who planted the ear, shall He not hear? He who formed the eye, shall He not see?”
I believe that it is You God, who is the source of all true wisdom and knowledge as well as knowing the future, which is evidenced by the fact that Your prophecies and predictions have always been true and have occurred as foretold. All of us, including the unbeliever, should take note of V10 “He who instructs the nations, shall He not correct, He who teaches man knowledge?” As years go on, man’s knowledge increases, but we are told, there is so much more that we do not know about the human body, nature and the universe. And many are chasing around after many things, and never feel appreciated or truly fulfilled and happy. V11 “The Lord knows the thoughts of man, and they are futile.”
After reading Your word today, it seems like when we acknowledge that You are Almighty God and that all of the universe was created at Your command, we can only be humble and teachable by You, realizing, V12 “Blessed is the man whom You instruct, O Lord, and teach out of Your law.”
Amen
