Pin It Now!
Amen! What a great promise for us this morning. In fact, I believe this is a direct message for me as much as for the rest of you around the coffee table.
The world around us is tough. It speaks foul language. It hates the godly. It ridicules the righteous and deny justice to their cause. On the other hand, it supports the ungodly, goes hand in hand with the foul mouthed and loves their ways. It is difficult to survive such a world on a daily basis - almost impossible on our own!
That's when promises like these encourage our spirits and speaks directly to our souls. It is an assurance that the Lord support our righteous cause; and bring us justice like the bight sun. Just as bright and powerful the sun is at noon, everyone will see us shine through!
However, it all starts with a commitment on our side - to commit to His ways and trust in Him. Which then brings us to our today's discussion: How to commit our ways to the Lord?
When Moses summoned all Israelites and gave them the ten commandments from the Lord, he had given an important instruction which holds true for us even to this day:
Be careful to do what the LORD your God has commanded you; do not turn aside to the right or to the left. Deuteronomy 5:32
Prophet Isaiah's message for Judah and Jerusalem can be as is applied to our lives:
Wash and make yourselves clean.
Take your evil deeds of my sight!
Stop doing wrong, learn to do right!
Seek justice,
encourage the oppressed.
Defend the cause of the fatherless,
plead the case of the widow. Isaiah 1:16-17
King Solomon shares a wise word: Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed. Proverbs 16:3.
He repeats in Proverbs 3:6, In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
Yet again He says, in Proverbs 4:27, Do not swerve to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil.
The Bible is full of instructions on how we can continually commit our ways to the Lord. We only need to read it and apply it in our lives - with a conscious effort.
Then the Lord will bring forth our justice as bright as the noonday sun and our righteousness will shine like the dawn!.
May God bless each one you. Love you all in Christ. Thank you for joining me for coffee this week. Check back on the weekday as we wrap up the series on Psalm 37:3-8
Commit your way to the Lord;
trust in him and he will do this:
He will make your righteousness shine like the
dawn,
the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.
