Convert Our Souls.

Desired more than gold… the law, the testimony, the statutes, the judgments of the Lord.

Sweeter than honey and the honeycomb.

 

The keeping of them brings a great reward- Salvation through our Savior.

 

Joh_14:15  If ye love me, keep my commandments.

 

Joh_14:23  Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

 

Can you imagine desiring something MORE than gold? Sure you can, though the desire for money is paramount in our lives. We live in a society where to survive you need an income of some sort. Those who do not possess an income are left destitute on the streets, reliant upon the charity of others. Is it any wonder we don't want to be without an income? We don't want to be left on the street.

 

To desire the Lord and all that entails- more than gold is in truth admitting all the riches of the world mean nothing without God, nothing.

 

The law of the LORD is perfect.

The law of the LORD coverts the souls.

The testimony of the LORD is sure.

The testimony of the LORD will  make the simple - wise.

 

We need the law written in our hearts.

We need the testimony of our LORD.

 

Psa 19:7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.

Psa 19:8 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.

Psa 19:9 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.

Psa 19:10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

Psa 19:11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.

 

Psa 19:12 Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.

Psa 19:13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.

Psa 19:14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

 

We need to be cleansed from- SECRET FAULTS.

 

We need to be kept from- PRESUMPTUOUS SINS.

 

Our words, and the meditations of our hearts need to be acceptable in the sight of the LORD, our STRENGTH, our REDEEMER.

 

Secret faults and presumptuous sins are known to God, we can hide nothing from Him, nothing. Any time we would break the royal law we are held accountable. Every sin is a breaking of the royal law, every single one. There doesn't exist a sin that isn't a breaking of the royal ten commandments.

 

1Jn_3:4  Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

 

To love God and to love others- this is what sums up the entire law. When we fail to love God and fail to love others- we transgress the law.

 

Do you realize that there is no commandment to love ourselves more than others? That is what we do so often and in so many ways, sinning self-serving. God help us, cleanse us, keep us from the sins we commit presumptuously as we live our lives focused on self-serving over serving You, or others.

 

Please.
