Hopefully no one is condemning anyone. John 3:18, that debate may be the question, is it out of disbelief? A deeper, individual question for oneself. Titus 3:9-11, James 5:9-10, 1 Corinthians 11:28-32
1st I think you are incorrect about "government requirement" of all "those vaccinations" that's why there's still debates. I believe in some states they are not required. Even where they are there are debates of rights as parents & individual choices. * not a GOD Law.
2nd Importantly if vaccination is effective; (I agree most have been)= then the hatered, animosity, & anger about freedoms shouldn't exist! Because if effective then those vaccinated have no fear, only non-vaxers would have threats in society. This is a freedom & liberty argument. Jeremiah 34:15-18, Psalms 119:45-46,
3rd If "boomers" could say 'choice' when it came to killing millions in my generation through abortion, then my generation has choices too. Isn't that the real questions? Galatians 5:11-14,
4th The HOLY Spirit is Amazing!!! just this morning I was reminded how painful & difficult, chicken pox were, I contracted maybe 3 times, before 8 yr of age. contracted German measles in hospital at birth. I am grateful my children through vaccination didn't contract. I believe I was reminded because I would be responding to you. Thank you LORD GOD ALMIGHTY :) John 14:26,
5th I believed in the power of vaccinations, I was vaccinated & oldest child. I encountered studies about Autism connected to vaccination. I heard parents' arguments about anti-vax & evidence. I had next infant fuly vaccinated, didn't seem to effect us. My youngest was born & early on had several 'markers for Autism' the evidence in studies pointed to somes inability to absorb metals like Mercury & Lead in bloodstream - I had worked in Lab several years with many Chemicals, including Lead, Mercury. I was also MSDS Supervisor. Knowledge of reproductive system risks, I had to make the moral 'choice' not to vaccinate, at that time.
For ever , O Lord , thy word is settled in heaven .
Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth , and it abideth.
Rest assured God is in full control and there is Zero need to save the earth . God has given his word on it . The problem is many do not know the truth of the word of God and are confused about many things .
God gives understanding to the humble and poor , and hides it from the proud . Humble thy self before God and he shall lift you up in many ways ! Amen
Light and darkness are not two halves that co-exist and are mutually beneficial. Darkness is fully dependent on the absence of light, as in the beginning, and there is no life in darkness. Light can never be defined as the absence of darkness; light will continue to be light regardless of the amount of darkness. There is no fellowship with light with darkness. Our lack of knowledge, understanding, being blind or deaf to the Holy Spirit can lead to unrighteousness and sin which lies in darkness.
Proverbs 4:18-19 But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. 19 The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.
Psalms 119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
Truth can only be seen in the light, and this light is life, eternal life, may it shine brightly on our path, the only path and road to travel, and His word is our lamp and at the end of this path, we will see this light face to face. Can we even imagine what that will be like?
Thank you for creating this website I am able to pray everyday on this and every day God is blessing me. I pray that He will also bless you in abundance. Peace be unto you and all those you relate to.
Verse 176-the psalmist strayed like a lost sheep. This may have been written by young prince Hezekiah. He poured out his heart and Jehovah God responded.
Thanks Mishael for the invite! Dianne has got this one & shared exactly what I understand as well. It's interesting that this wisdom Psalm concerning the Law of the Lord is an alphabetic acrostic with each stanza containing eight verses only - and of course, devoted to the successive letters of the Hebrew alphabet, as Dianne has pointed out.
I don't see any other criteria that divides this Psalm into its stanzas, as their content is varied, but all focussing back on God's Word (in its different forms & applications), and of course, using that Word to live wisely before God & man.
Carl Just two points of interest but there are many every section of psalm 119 starts with a letter of the hebrew alphabet also every verse has a word about Gods word. Examples Law of the lord, commandment, precepts, statutes, judgements, testimonies and so on. Both of these would be remarkable studies in themselves, I have yet to go there. Always something to learn in Gods Word. God Bless
I believe that suggestion is a insult to our Lord,
The creation shows his Glory! God spoke this universe into existence! God made these vessels of clay live! God has no beginning or ending, Knows our thoughts, Stands outside of time looking in!!
GOD IS OMNISCIENT, "ALL KNOWING "
Isaiah 46:9-10. Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,
Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
.
Psalms 94:8-9. Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise?
He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?
Psalms 139:3-4. Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.
For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Psalms 119:105,
WE DEPEND ON THE WORD FOR LIFE IN THIS WORLD AND THE WORLD TO COME!!
THERE'S NO FAITH WITHOUT THE WORLD AND NO SALVATION.
WITH THE WORD BEING SO PRECIOUS AND VITAL AND GOD BEING ALL WISE AND ALL KNOWING, WHY IS IT SO MANY PEOPLE DISCREDIT GOD BY SAYING HE CAN NOT PRESERVE HIS WORD!!
And little created man can out smart God by scrambling the inspired scripture and derail his plan for salvation. That thought is disrespectful.
Psalms 119 is the longest chapter in the Bible being 176 verses. It is divided into sections using the letters of the Hebrew alphabet. In which the first letter being Aleph then ending with the last letter Tau.
Hope that answers the question about those words you see in that chapter.
Question: In Psalms 119 there are several verses that have one word (all caps) at the beginning of certain sentences What is the meaning and the purpose
These are all Hebrew alphabet. Alaph, Beth, Gimal etc.,. Each and every line of a set of verses under an Alphabet starts from the corresponding alphabet. It clearly shows that David is well known to write songs (handling his language as a professional)
Read 1 Corinthians 8:8. Righteous before God is not by what you do, but by what you believe. Did Jesus pay for YOUR sins? The law was a schoolmaster to show us we are sinners that need Christ for salvation, not to make us good enough for God to save. Galatians 3:24. People who see a relationship with God through merit, are not only wrong, but also misrepresent what the real relationship looks like.
The Lord is our Shepard and he leads us to green pastures Hazel, he will leave the 99 to bring you home. His sheep seek his face and righteous and know his voice as he know us, call out to him. God bless you!
I believe that Psalm 119 is so long (176 verses) that it is divided by the Jewish alphabet A = Aleph, B = Beth etc... to divide it into smaller more readable portions. I have only read this today as part of my morning prayers, I hope this helps.
THY word have I hid in mine heart that I may not sin against Thee / when we hide something and we have need of it we return to that place where it were hidden.
As You bring Pleasure to Them...
You are Bringing Pleasure to the LORD GOD.
-Prophet Joshua Holmes
