Do I seek God with all my heart?

How blessed and favored by God are those whose way is blameless [those with personal integrity, the upright, the guileless], who walk in the law [and who are guided by the precepts and revealed will] of the Lord.

Is each step I take guided by God's Word?

Blessed and favored by God are those who keep His testimonies and who [consistently] seek Him and long for Him with all their heart.

Am I seeking God daily with all my heart?

You have ordained Your precepts, that we should follow them with [careful] diligence.

Do I follow God's Word with careful diligence?

Oh, that my ways may be established to observe and keep Your statutes [obediently accepting and honoring them]!

Do I structure my life around the Word of God?

How can a young man keep his way pure? By keeping watch [on himself] according to Your word [conforming his life to Your precepts].

Is each step I take guided by God's Word?

With all my heart, I have sought You, [inquiring of You and longing for You]; do not let me wander from Your commandments [neither through ignorance nor by willful disobedience].

Am I seeking God with all my heart?

Your word I have treasured and stored in my heart, that I may not sin against You.

Is God's Word stored in my heart?

I will meditate on Your precepts and [thoughtfully] regard Your ways [the path of life established by Your precepts].

Do I meditate on God's Word daily?

I will delight in Your statutes; I will not forget Your word.

Do I delight in God's Word?

Deal bountifully with Your servant, that I may live and keep Your word [treasuring it and being guided by it day by day].

Does God's Word guide me daily?

Open my eyes [to spiritual truth] so that I may behold wonderful things from Your law.

Is this my daily prayer?

- Psalm 119:1-2,4-5,9-11,15-18 (Amplified Bible)

Be Encouraged to ask God to open your eyes to spiritual truth as you seek His guidance and direction through the reading of His Word every day!

Rejoice in hope. Be patient in tribulation. Be constant in prayer. - Romans 12:12 (ESV) Rejoice in hope. Now, may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. - Romans 15:13 (NASB) For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope. - Jeremiah 29:11 (NASB) Choose to view life through God's eyes. This will not be easy because it doesn't come naturally to us. We cannot do this on our own. We have to allow God to elevate our vantage point. Start by reading His Word, the Bible...Pray and ask God to transform your thinking. Let Him do what you cannot. Ask Him to give you an eternal, divine perspective. - Charles Swindoll  Be patient in tribulation. Do not fret because of evildoers; be not envious of wrongdoers.

Is God's peace guarding my heart?

Rejoice in the Lord always [delight, take pleasure in Him]; again, I will say, rejoice! Let your gentle spirit [your graciousness, unselfishness, mercy, tolerance, and patience] be known to all people. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious or worried about anything, but in everything [every circumstance and situation], by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God. And the peace of God [that peace which reassures the heart, that peace] which transcends all understanding, [that peace which] stands guard over your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus [is yours]. - Philippians 4:4-7 (Amplified Bible) Here is a fundamental difference between the man of faith and the man of unbelief. The unbeliever is 'of the world,' judges everything by worldly standards, views life from the standpoint of time and sense, and weighs everything in the balance of his own carnal making. But the man of faith brings in God, looks at everything from His st

Am I praising God? - Part2

Image
Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne and [the voice] of the living creatures and the elders; and they numbered myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands (innumerable), saying in a loud voice, "Worthy and deserving is the Lamb that was sacrificed to receive power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing." And I heard every created thing that is in heaven or on earth or under the earth [in Hades, the realm of the dead] or on the sea, and everything that is in them, saying [together], "To Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb (Christ), be blessing and honor and glory and dominion forever and ever." And the four living creatures kept saying, "Amen." And the elders fell down and worshiped [Him who lives forever and ever]. - Revelation 5:11-14 (Amplified Bible) Yesterday God helped me, today He'll do the same. How long will this continue? Forever—praise His name! God does not reveal His will
