Iron Skillett vs. the Still small voice

September 30, 2011

I’ve been telling people lately that I don’t get “leadings, hints, etc” from God, that it often requires the iron skillet.   Subtlety is lost on me.   I need to be told.   I’m beginning to see the error in that statement.   When you come down to it, the iron skillett isn’t so much a tool or … More Iron Skillett vs. the Still small voice

35 Help me stay on the path of Your commands for I take pleasure in it.   Staying on the path of the Lord’s commands.   Davids prayer is for God to help him stay there, to travel, to direct his path.   It’s interesting, because he ends the verse by saying he takes pleasure in it.  He takes pleasure in the direction.  Not so … More Psalms 119: 35-37

So, I’m at work.  Working a double today.  Came on at 3pm Tuesday, and leaving 7 am Weds.  Not sure why I agreed to it, but there it is.  Normally, I wouldn’t work on a Tuesday afternoon because it’s dedicated to Revolution leadership meeting and small groups after, but the boss asked, and I said yes.  … More Psalms 119:33-34

27 Cause me to understand the way of your precepts,    that I may meditate on your wonderful deeds.    Key words in this verse: Understand, and meditate.  If I felt frisky, I’d try to diagram it, maybe pull out the subject/verb/pronoun’s etc….but yeah, not going to try that one at the moment.  I’d have to go back … More PSALM 119:27-29

Psalms 119:24-32

September 20, 2011

This portion for some reason has been a challenge for me to understand.  Let’s see what happens. 25″ I am laid low in the dust;    preserve my life according to your word. ”   This verse, to me, speaks to utter depression.   David is saying he is nothing but dust, he’s bottomed out.   I had to … More Psalms 119:24-32
