Psa 17:4-5, … BY THE WORD OF YOUR LIPS, I HAVE KEPT AWAY FROM THE PATHS OF THE DESTROYER. UPHOLD MY STEPS IN YOUR PATHS, THAT MY FOOTSTEPS MAY NOT SLIP.
David not only knew GOD’s word, but also lived it! Men ate food to stay healthy and strong, YET THE MOST IMPORTANT NUTRIENTS CAME FROM THE WORD OF GOD! FOOD FOR OUR SOULS!
Mat 4:4, But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘MAN SHALL NOT LIVE BY BREAD ALONE, BUT BY EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS FROM THE MOUTH OF GOD.’ ”
HIS word is not meant to deprive us from anything good, but it’s meant to keep us on a sure and solid foundation! IF WE BUILD ON THE ROCK WE SHALL NOT BE MOVED!
Deu 32:3-4, FOR I PROCLAIM THE NAME OF THE LORD: ASCRIBE GREATNESS TO OUR GOD. HE IS THE ROCK, HIS WORK IS PERFECT; FOR ALL HIS WAYS ARE JUSTICE, A GOD OF TRUTH AND WITHOUT INJUSTICE; RIGHTEOUS AND UPRIGHT IS HE.
Psa 17:14, With Your hand from men, O LORD, From MEN OF THE WORLD who have their portion in this life, And WHOSE BELLY YOU FILL WITH YOUR HIDDEN TREASURE. THEY ARE SATISFIED WITH CHILDREN, AND LEAVE THE REST OF THEIR POSSESSION FOR THEIR BABES.
The majority of people only live for the present which is quickly passing away! Life is but a vapor which comes and then it’s gone!
Jas 4:14, WHEREAS YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN TOMORROW. FOR WHAT IS YOUR LIFE? IT IS EVEN A VAPOR THAT APPEARS FOR A LITTLE TIME AND THEN VANISHES AWAY.
Psa 17:15, AS FOR ME, I WILL SEE YOUR FACE IN RIGHTEOUSNESS; I SHALL BE SATISFIED WHEN I AWAKE IN YOUR LIKENESS.
Whereas men only lived for the present, DAVID LIVED FOR GOD! DAVID KNEW ONE DAY HE WILL SEE THE LORDS FACE! DAVID KNEW ONE DAY HIS BODY WILL RECEIVE A MAJOR UPGRADE IN THE LIKENESS OF JESUS, AND SO WILL WE! KEEP THE FAITH AND SEEK HIM!
1Jn 3:2, Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed WHAT WE SHALL BE, but we know that when HE IS REVEALED, WE SHALL BE LIKE HIM, FOR WE SHALL SEE HIM AS HE IS.
