Title:How to Become Who God Made You to Be
Text:
Psalm 119:73-80 (ESV)
73
Your hands have made and fashioned me; give me understanding that I may learn your commandments.
74 Those who fear you shall see me and rejoice, because I have hoped in your word.
75 I know, O LORD, that your rules are righteous, and that in faithfulness you have afflicted me.
76 Let your steadfast love comfort me according to your promise to your servant.
77 Let your mercy come to me, that I may live; for your law is my delight.
78 Let the insolent be put to shame, because they have wronged me with falsehood; as for me, I will meditate on your precepts.
79 Let those who fear you turn to me, that they may know your testimonies.
80 May my heart be blameless in your statutes, that I may not be put to shame!
Observation:
Is your greatest desire to be the best person you can be, and fulfill the divine purpose of your Maker?
The Psalmist expresses that desire in the selected portion that I am using for today's text.
The Psalmist acknowledges that the Lord is his maker, and that the Bible has the guidelines for living a purposeful and fruitful life.
Our Maker has made us, designed us, and gifted us to able to strengthen the lives of others. In verse eighty the Psalmist express his desire to live a blameless life, and in verse seventy-eight he expresses his desire to be humble. Our God resist the proud, but gives grace to the humble.
We can find in reading daily the Word of God the spiritual food that we need to be the person God made us to be. That kind of life will be a blessing to others; see verse seventy-nine, and our own lives will be blessed; see verse seventy-seven.
Prayer:
Father God, my dear Father, I pray the prayer of the Psalmist that You would give Your people a burning desire to be the people that You made us to be; a people that will be a blessing to others, and who be blessed by You.
Father, gives us understanding how to do in our daily living; the things that we do, and the things that we say; may they be consistent with the guide book for living; the Bible. In the mighty name of Jesus I pray, Amen.
Matthew 4:4 (HCSB)
4 But He answered, "It is written: Man must not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of God."
Psalm 2:8 (HCSB)
8 Ask of Me, and I will make the nations Your inheritance and the ends of the earth Your possession.
