TEACH US LORD, YOUR STATUES: THE IMPORTANCE OF LIVING WITHIN THE CONFINES OF GOD’S STATUES
Psalm 119:33-40 33 Teach me, O Lord, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it unto the end. 34 Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart. 35 Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight. 36 Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness. 37 Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken thou me in thy way. 38 Stablish thy word unto thy servant, who is devoted to thy fear. 39 Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments are good. 40 Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness.
If we, all, would learn and adhere our mind, heart and soul to God’s statues, this world would be God’s eutopia.
One crucial thing about the Scriptures is, it is The Word of God (His statues – laws, decrees, commandments, rules and guidelines (the ones that really matter) outlined in the scriptures for everyone to follow. (Which we all have a problem with doing at times; that is why we have Jesus, our Lord and Saviour). They are not subject to change, and are not up for debate, discussion and no contestation: God spoke, it is and will always be. We are not to add anything to them nor take anything away from them, they are God’s Truth and our guide; perfect and Holy as is; complete. Our responsibility is to study and obey God’s Word, the Scriptures, which consist of God’s Statues, our instructions.
The scriptures are comprised of God’s Statues, which are laws, commandments, and/or decrees set by God and made to give us guidance for our lives. It is most interesting that within God’s Statues and commandments it is all inclusive of what, how, why, who, and when we are to respond to in any give situation we come in contact with. They include information and instruction on things such as setting boundaries in our life, which helps to keep us safe from harm or injury; making choices contrary to His will; succumbing to the whims of society; and participating in misguided and wrong actions; yes, it’s all there but we must read to find out. They provide ways on how we are to obey God’s commandments. They define important customs and establish the procedure on how they are to be carried out and how to handle the vital matters they entail. They set times, appointed for holy and holidays. They make (previously unknown or secret information), about Him, known to us. And we may not be aware but when we honor and obey God’s statues, we become a better person for it: in our homes, on our jobs, really and truly, everywhere we go. Deuteronomy 6:1-9 Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the Lord your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it:
2 That thou mightest fear the Lord thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son’s son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.
3 Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the Lord God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey.
4 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord:
5 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:
7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.
9 And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.
Exodus 15:25-26 25 And he cried unto the Lord; and the Lord shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them, 26 And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the Lord that healeth thee.
Therefore, not only will it be beneficial and useful for relaying and relating His statues, commandments to His children but it is very advantageous and perfecting to those who seek the truth; for us to know how abundant God’s love, grace, mercy, answers, and life He has for us. We do not need to reason, within ourselves, nor look beyond His Word for the answers; no one else’s thoughts (unless in-lined with Gods), matter and does not compare with His love for His creation. This is why we need to read the Word with commitment and dedication, so we can come to a true, righteous, and sure understanding. (Isaiah 55:7-9 7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. 8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts). GOD’S GOT IT NO WORRY NO FEAR.
