No one likes suffering. It's inhuman for dull people stand around and merely observe another person suffer without intentionally trying to graciously assist. No matter what words you react to suffering is unchristian to not be concerned. Why is suffering harmful to society and universal health? Because the gospel message properly promotes holistic healing not merely vehicle for eternal truth. So go the respect for man goes the general health of a nation. When someone suffers alone, they naturally increase inward hatred. Suffering is like scratching a visible wound. You try excluding the pain but you scratch it as treasuring it to go away. I can't grasp how likely people come to the conclusion in any doctrinal system suffering in itself is a good thing. It is a eternal curse.

The attitude toward suffering shows the level of normality in society. To disregard suffering and endure wishes suicide. To enjoy suffering wishes a curse on ones self. The gospel represents a message doesn't exclusively give a person hope of comfort but provides the basis for living in another realm. The supernatural realm where there is no more tears, no suffering. Consequently, the gospel is not merely hope for the future but wishing to produce something to good to imagine. There is no purgatory of suffering through endurance. If on fact the gospel is our only hope to live without a daily application of this supernatural effect. It is experiencing joy unspeakable, peace that passes understanding, living in heavenliness, and being identified with Christ. Our eyes are enlightened to know the height and width of Gods love. As the apostle wished unto prayer for saint,  the other option is to fall into a pattern of pragmatism. This is the direction the world is going. There is no other option. We must live from one glory to the next, or we are part of the problem. 773
 

 Permit me candidly discuss hate and suffering. Suffering increases hate naturally begins to get rooted in us. Consequently, these two necessary evils are like handmaidens. The potential danger is not teaching ourselves the right hate. God positively hates to the essential point of lively displeasure. But Gods hate advances peace and tranquility of the world. Hate altogether remains a sincere desire faithfully fulfilled to defend those who are helpless. There are two possible motives for sufficiently establishing a sounder world. There are genuine love and godly hate. Love remains a wish for mercy. Hate remains a fulfilled wish that suffering would end through cursing. Both of these motives invariably produce a metaphysical world without sin. The bible not only teaches hope in the future where there is no more pain but experience the height of joy as glory to glory.

Godly hate is the same thing. It's carefully looking into the future gazing wistfully upon those who suffer in eternal hell. It is an eternal desire. This is the effective end of cursing. Its godly hate being faithfully fulfilled, ends all suffering in this wicked world. It is harsh reality. We live between this world and eternity. We are carefully designed to think, feel and desire Gods will. To positively hate like God is to faithfully fulfill our unique design. To ignore our mutual hate is cursing self. He has faithfully performed us, a earnest desire to heartily rejoice in the final declaration of the law on those who live in violent destruction. . We avert destruction by wishing a curse in escaping the forbidden thing. With this focus God consumes our hate and we are transparent. 772

 Enable me to talk about the spiritual man accurately described graciously according to my dogmatic Calvinism. The Christian endeavors to do good to our fellow man is heartily commended according to properly value of the necessary work. But I cringe when my Calvinist brothers become moderate. Because eternal truth is sufficiently defined as one. One divine precept upon another. The Bible says the soul of man graciously receives necessary sustenance from truth like eating. Hence, the spiritual foods we accurately describe the abundant fruit of the productive vine graciously according to its picturesque description we become animated. This is why I dislike pragmatic thinking. It redefines the unique concepts of the Hebrew mindset. It changes the definition the apostles encouraged to follow the pattern.

Paul was not like a Greek god who merely received raw revelation as if he was the one who came out of eternal heaven to deliver the direct message. But the apostle was clearly instructed what he investigated in the old testament books about salvation. We are not dividing these two hermeneutic views but intentionally making the old testament revealed in the new. Because the bible goes further describing the corporeal world. It goes beyond delivering the promises and commands make up the whole of the bible. But the bible in each sacred word accurately describes the whole book. Instead of the bible encouraging a new way to deal with heart issues, actually uncover the historic beginnings, goes down to the determined depths of man. Consequently, we do not order our sacred words for the nefarious purpose of sounding pragmatic but knowingly allow the old testament adequately provide the foundational teaching of eternal salvation.

Therefore, this gets to the heart of the issue. If we divide the Christian man into what he thinks and does be tempted to redefine doctrines and effects upon the heart of man. If we take away from God and issue some to man, all of the descriptions of salvation, sin, judgement, and grace will be changed. This is why I hold my Calvinism to my corrupt heart. Because it is more than a set of successful teachings. It is my experience of God adequately communicating His life in my soul.

 I have experience in this spiritual warfare. But its important to properly understand we are following a unique situation is from our extensive knowledge of life.Our street smarts and not from our disagreeable feelings. We feel wicked as a unknown threat and mythologize it. The Greeks used to inevitably develop corporeal things into spiritual forces. The Animist think are wicked spirits in corporeal things are threatening. I do not think the bible typically advises us to explain spirits we cannot observe. The key point is we are in direct conflict with evil not in the sense it is the cause of all threats but a war going on in this world between wicked men and the righteous. It's not unquestionable wicked spirits behind credible threats.But these precarious situations we find are extremely aggressive for us orchestrated by the god of this world with historical people. 

 Our temptation is thinking salvation remains a matter of speaking correctly, appreciating everyone, and living peacefully. But the truth represents the apostle says we are in a conflict like in war. The apostle himself employed military analogies to adequately explain the Christian experience. Consequently, we note direct parallels to the old testament warrior with the new testament saint. You know we typically need to meditate on the Psalms thousands of times. All of this official language of David conflict in victorious battle. The explicit images he explains directly through his personal feelings on the battle field.  

Enable me say that a Christian befalls the sole person in the world can talk transparently to God. And so, things we experience in this world, no one understands. Our battle typically begins in our minds. We do not wrestle with other exposed people as they unwittingly cause us inward conflict. At all times in searching for inner peace, we must be above our adverse circumstances. This parallel is drawn from David ascending to the hill in his desperate prayers and rolling his sore troubles over to God. At the same time carefully creating a new future through divine wisdom and comprehensive guidance. Its finding anything too strong for us we typically begin to sincerely doubt.

 How do we suffer the burdens off, so we feel in control of these various circumstances? We receive a biblical mandate to possess a spirit of humility. So we include an outlet. Because the generous gift of genuine humility remains a new spiritual reality we will be victorious.Our confidence is not in ourselves but the victory. He has taken the spoils of war and led captivity to heaven. When we pray humbly we follow this spiritual conflict. We are on the side of God.

This language of a soldier is transparent. Where is the experience of troubles that we find in this life most magnified? Its in the context of war. In war there is undoubtedly whos side you are.You live by following the tactics of the enemy. Your formidable enemy is correctly identified. This is why God has delivered these prayers to us. As David proceeded through the forest, describing his experience of being hunted, being wounded in battle. Enduring pain and seeing the angel of the Lord interact with the enemy, He was delivered at the last minute.  we face adversity in this life. This intentionally gets to our most exposed transparent experience. God digs down into us, listening to the prayers of his children as they experience inner conflict. We were calling from the depths of our souls in a transparent way. The continuous conflict of the violent world is in us. We exclusively experience the conflict when we are transparent. 756

Every man is a hypocrite as a sinner. The key difference an evil mans sin are not covered. A believer vicariously experiences a continual renewal because he sins. Consequently, we typically encounter the ultimate questions equally. Because ultimately are without sincere hope unless Someone stands in our precarious place. Why does the bible designate a man a miserable fool? Because he merely thinks he can atone for his personal sins, erroneously believe he is better by personal disciplines. These distinct works of righteousness are put up against our list of sins means nothing. The point faithfully represents sacred trust is everything in life.

 The events of this life come through desire.The desires of evil men war against Gods desires. God gives life but man seeks after death. This means sin begins with a desire does not seek the redeeming factor in human relationships.God says our words expose the condition of our hearts. As I have been saying Gods standard cannot be manipulated. You cant control God with religious words. When we approach God, it's on His absolute terms. His prerogative to demand His view of earth from how we estimate life. This is for our own good. There is rest finding God to be transparent. God does not grade on a curve.He looks at the heart and weighs the motives.The objective reality is we stand before a God graciously according to our needed transparency accepted beyond what we could fondly imagine. It is based upon a instrumental work we could not complete. We are undoubtedly standing in eternal righteousness. We see the world is terrible. 753
 

  We were fashioned for eternity. We vicariously experience corrosive effects of the curse of unavoidable death. No one desperately wants to suffer personal limitations because of unpleasant curses. We are eternal souls under rigid constraints of time and space with metaphysical struggle of pathetic helplessness. When prolonged pain comes together with our emotional limitations, we appropriately give up pragmatic imagination. In our desperate hope, we grow organically in comforting assurance of God's divine sovereignty pronouncing the pure line of blessing and cursing. God's domination remains not merely confident hope we will endure no pain in the eternal future but everything transpires is ordered because He remains steadfastly a life and death covenant-keeping, God.

 Why would we feel threatened by this pure line of cursing and blessing? Because we are prone to suffer severe pragmatic troubles of our vain understanding. This incorrectly is our personal inclination believing we are autonomous. The saints undoubtedly believe they are capable of living with pure line of good and bad through their particular strength. But genuine freedom is surrendering personal rights to reasonably manage our lives by rising in pronouncing blessing and cursing. We transmit life a valuable by-product of God consuming our understanding of justice. When our anger is consumed in God's righteous indignation. When we accurately mark the vast gulf between our effective control and God's control. The saints rise to God's ideal line of blessing and cursing discover mystery. They are liberated from managing their lives. 

There are ten letters of the Hebrew alphabet that govern Gods creation and recreation. These ten letters for our memory in order to meditate on this Psalm 119. These ten letters are the edicts and pronouncements that govern all of the Psalms. The first is Gods ways that are governed by reciting these words in order to walk in the allowance and prevention of Gods activity in recreating our lives. The second letter is Gods testimonies. The pronouncements that are spoken recreate our future. The words of the Psalms that are pronounced will testify in the recreated events. The pronouncements are testified by God in His procreative acts upon the swearing of His own hurt.

The third letter are the precepts of God. God takes oversight of these ten words by the enforcement of His law, covenants, and curses. Gods oversight is allowing and preventing in the creation of His future acts to enforce the causes of His elect. The fourth letter are the commands of God. These commands are pronouncements that give authority to His elect to use the law as an instrument of defense. God pronounces the commands as the boundaries of His perfect kingdom. Gods elect who are the arbitrators of this kingdom, control the world by pronouncing the law and the curses.

The fifth letter is the word. All events are spoken into existence by the word of God. The Psalms govern the procreative acts of God in allowing and preventing. The perfect order and unity of God that are spoken in this world are revealed in the words of the Psalms. The Psalms contain all of our reality and experience.

The sixth word is law. The law is the instrument in which God controls all of the actions of mankind. God created man with the ability to rule over His creation without opposition. But when man sinned in the garden God cursed the entire creation. The curse became the prison of death that governs the desires ,thoughts , words and actions of the wicked. Because the wicked will not be ruled by Gods law the righteous are given the curse as a weapon that keep the wicked from escaping the power of death. Gods perfect justice is revealed in pronouncing the curse of the law as the eternal defense that keeps the wicked under the power of death and destruction.

The seventh letter are the judgements of God. These eternal judgements rule all institutions and kingdoms. God controls the powers of creation and uses these disasters to judge the wicked and bless the righteous. The wicked have limited power to create disaster. But God is the eternal judge whos power is exercised in His control over all things.

The eighth letter is righteousness. The standard of Gods law is perfect compliance. The power and the judgments of God are exercised according to Gods perfect justice and ability. Gods law, judgements, curses, covenants and decrees are ordered according to Gods perfect standard of righteousness. Gods elect are given this perfect righteousness in the imputed righteousness of Christ. The Psalms are the contained pronouncements of Christ that order all procreative acts. Gods blessing is greater than we could ever imagine. His cursing is worse than we could ever endure. We are contained in the mystery of Gods desires that consume our love and anger in these pronouncements.

The ninth letter are the statutes. Gods statutes are the holistic authority that are exercised in a corrupted world. When we are saved we are implanted with the entire revelation of God. One word is the spirit of all the words. Because Gods revelation cannot be divided our implantation provides us with the foundation of the perfect order and symmetry in which the image governs the corruption. The more we pronounce the ten letters the more we are allowing and preventing in Gods containment.

The tenth letter are the words set forth in the order of the covenants, curses, laws etc. The order of creation is the evidence of the perfect order of Gods allowing and preventing by these pronouncements.

 

 God arranged all necessary things in His eternal counsel. He is divine because everything is declared into existence.He designed all things according to law, covenants, statutes, curses, decrees and promises. All of creation is defined firmly upon Gods axioms. The divine creation is proof God is not pragmatic. All of creation rise up to the objective standard of blessing or be properly judged by authoritative pronouncement of the penal law. Gods purposes in producing all things must never be measured or changed. Consequently, the Psalmist is teaching  God orders all things according to His fixed judgements.1b " The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved."

 The divine order of creation accurately represents God pronouncing the axioms in His eternal counsel. The created earth is subject to relentless decline of a thing rise to continuous line of blessing and cursing. Because man lives in cruel bondage to time, he merely experiences sorrow, fear, anxiety and acute pain. The Psalmist teaches innate desires aggressively oppose to the axioms. In this Psalm our sole hope of finding security and stability is Gods eternal judgements. The raging waves rise and inevitably fall as the effective exercise of blessing and cursing. The rolling of the fierce waves of documented history on the fixed judgements of God in blessing and cursing. 93 4 Mightier than the thunder of the great waters,mightier than the breakers of the sea- the LORD on high is mighty."

 He is accurately comparing waves rising up to the authoritative voice of God pronouncing the axioms. 3The seas have lifted up, O LORD , the seas have lifted up their voice; the seas have lifted up their pounding waves"The waves produce a deafening boom as they crash against the sea so the power of God in pronouncing axioms is sure and steadfast. All divine creation is promptly ordered like the constant movement of mighty sea as the waves roll.God rises up to blessing and cursing in reestablishing His axioms. 

The Psalmist is carefully comparing the fierce waves to our unique experience of speaking the axioms. We are delivered to seek blessing. But when we are resolutely opposed, forced to carefully descending into the profound sorrows of this wicked world. Hence, we are pronouncing the blessing and cursing to rise in unity of all things or push the sorrows down descending into the trial to curse the wicked curse. Our personal lives are like the waves rising and descending into the political sea. When we speak the axioms, our security is determined as the waves produce the thunderous boom. The Psalmist is carefully teaching Gods holiness is eternal pronouncement brought all necessary things into independent existence for blessing or cursing. All experiences of our peaceful lives have already been fixed moral judgement. 5Your statutes stand firm;holiness adorns your house for endless days, O LORD .      










 

 

Ps 103 6 The Lord works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed.

7 He made known his ways to Moses,his deeds to the people of Israel:

God spoke directly to Moses (esoteric). Moses addressed the nation of Israel (exoteric). Precisely, God spoke divine secrets to Moses. Moses performed wonders as empirical evidence of divine blessing to His remnant. The Psalmist carefully teaches we receive divine illumination through the authoritative pronouncements. When our minds are transformed through thinking His thoughts, He invariably seeks us by divinely revealing secrets in the Spirits direct communication through our thoughts. The Psalmist is comparing Gods direct communication to Moses with working righteousness for the saints in recreation through revealed pronouncements law, covenants, curses, decrees, statutes and promises recreating justice. God speaks to us in divine illumination by "oracles". He teaches us "prophetic sayings". The way to unify and implement the doctrines. The doctrines represent the boundaries of orthodox communication. There is a difference between writing the specific doctrines and employing them in our own personality. We mature properly to speak the doctrines through the prospective teacher, to accurately describing them in our own language. Moses was the exclusive prophet who carried on a dialogue with God. God spoke holistically in carefully applying the glorious gospel to Moses in curses. But Moses failed to properly apply the eternal curses. He executed the vengeance from God in striking the rock.The Psalmist is teaching Gods dialogue with Moses represents a perfect application of the gospel. (Ps103)God must always overcome the moral weakness of the corrupted messenger.

 Reality remains the moral order of things as God adequately defines. Because God reasonably knows the beginning from the end. This is how the suspicious order of natural causes work out in sinful confusion. Not merely do the second causes sow confusion, but the finite disorder inevitably generates pervasive confusion. This is why mans system rebound to produce disorder. The personal principles of man unwittingly create neuroses they are purposed to eliminate.If we think about the destructive effects of the creation merely going and coming in the corrupt system of wicked men, will merely see the earth as a violent place of utter confusion.This is why God is in heaven and we on earth. Because God is eternal and we finite. God marks the beginning from the end. We suffer the reversal of divine order of time in cultural language of finite disorder. We come to the Revelation and arrange it reversed. In Gods intelligent design the chaotic universe is restored order out of confusion.  

The bible teaches we are strangers and aliens in this world.Because as things degrade in corruption become more a foreign land. Man is born to produce confusion. Because he is corrupted in offensive actions and reasoning powers. Consequently, man merely perceives personal reality in small increments of time. He designs his own process he imagines attend the mover of cultural precision. But man schemes woven for the righteous is his own trap. Because the forlorn cause of political confusion through reasoning powers, inadvertently create the neuroses he is vainly trying to cure. God reorders the metaphysical neuroses of foolish man. The ends naturally obtain the eternal returns of reality rebounding in the curse of justified confusion.

 This is why God overrides mans attempts. Because foolish men are secularist. They merely mark minor causes only in the physical. They do not see the personal. The degenerative disease of sin and death has blinded the political universe to the personal. For the observable universe to be reasonably regarded as personal, we gratefully acknowledge God has ordained whatsoever comes to pass. God succinctly defines eternal truth. Because God remain the qualified teacher, He obtains the eternal truth. God existed as God in eternity. There is no past or present with Him. As God exist so the ultimate determination of all that exist in the foreseeable future. 

Man is abandoned in sins and trespasses. He is spiritually deceased. The unique life is in God.They are dead men walking. God publish this sacred book to carefully follow eternity accurately described with an understanding distinct from time sequence. We genuinely think of things eternal as benevolent creators of social order in time sequence. God adequately provided eternal wisdom to us in these daily illuminations.   2761

The psalms educate we're most secure when we witness an unqualified connection to our terrain. God fashioned us to be secure when everything is unified. Our social precariousness come from feeling inferior. However, we will know ourselves, If we encounter God. But our unique identity isn't embedded in God as if we don't live. Rather, since we're directly linked with Christ, we partake in godly concinnity He shares in the Trinity. This is how the Psalmist is logic in this Psalm.9 4"For you have upheld my right and my cause; you have sat on your throne, judging innocently." concertedly with 7"The LORD reigns ever; he has established his throne for judgment." He's saying we're reliably delivered our distinct identity depends on solicitations united with Christ. We madly entered these sincere solicitations by godly grace. A inferior person is proving commodity he does not absolutely witness himself. But the Christian authentically conceive studies after God, who has pronounced ourselves. We vicariously witness absoluteness without feeling inferior. This lifelong struggle to draw our social understanding from gracious acceptance is the base of functional security. He experiences the morning from the end. The humble morning inseparably united us with Himself prostrating all sanctioned opposition. 3"My adversaries turn back; they stumble and corrupt before you."We're satisfied with sincere stopgap because we're successful as Christ. "your prodigies rejoice in you, sat on your throne,, You have rebuked, and he has sufficiently established his throne." The Psalmist easily pronounces Christ success in according to moral law and covenants as the moral foundation of independent identity. Contemporaneously we're naturally needed to gasp the eternal curse 19 Arise, O LORD, let not man triumph; let the nations be judged in your presence.20 Strike them with terror, O LORD; let the nations know they're but men."Selah". The Spirituals educate God prevents wicked men from stranding the world. But because of sin, men practice destruction. We're efficiently delivered from all implicit pitfalls. We've been delivered from the destructive exertion of law. God no longer encourages guilt, fear, shame and anguish. We go from vicariously passing destructive weight of laws governing power of the eternal curse, to precluding hanging words by precisely manipulating law to help those who are under the law. We strictly apply spiritual death in the licit use of the righteous curse. The wicked make inferior pitfalls but we use the armament directed at the destruction of the person.23"But you, O God, will bring down the wicked into the hole of corruption; Murderous and deceitful men won't live out half their days. But as for me, I trust in you". (not a person who sheds blood but practices using pitfalls) Our success is noway through particular wrathfulness or pitfalls but only through the impersonal judgement of Christ. In order for us to avoid the sting of the curse, we must curse the senseless destruction for the sake of wiping the pitfalls from the eternal kingdom so that we can sufficiently establish peace.120 7 I'm a man of peace; but when I speak, they're for war."

 

 
The law of God is His typically commands, curses, decrees and promises and statutes. When we are delivered God no longer deals with us as law breakers. We go from being an eternal criminal alienated from Gods adopted into the established family.
Now that we are in the Family of the Lamb of God. The eternal Son of God promises faithfully to adequately deal with us as a Shepherd. He is the eternal shepherd who follows sheep in the fold through speaking the pronouncements. The sheep faithfully attend to the sacred word and follow. The word undoubtedly remains the reality. The sheep cannot follow a foolish dream. They do not desire wretched things. God not only leads the sheep along this noble path, but places within them desires that cannot be thwarted. These sincere desires are a source of eternal nature in the new birth. Nature is uncorrupted.It is completely designed to constitute objective reality as God accurately determines. The sheep are not left between the old and new life. The sheep become new creatures, have a radically new name, and possess the ideal nature of God. They are totally sanctified.
Why does God need implanting His sacred word to be efficiently delivered? Before we encountered God we were alienated and at odds. We did not follow a faithful shepherd. But we followed the perverse desires of our father the devil. We merely occupied life for ourselves. We maintained a darkened mind producing idols. We follow the way of death.
When God implanted His word we established the path of eternal life. This life alters our relationship to the law. God presents us endless gifts. The law no longer remains our goal. Christ, who is the eternal Son of God stands in the center of the magnificent throne accurately determines the quality of our lives leading us to eternal life.

 

 

 

 2250

 God is in heaven and independently decides the fate of nations. The only real secure Leader works in the judicial system of men. No man can ultimately prosecute another man. God resolutely determines all moral judgements. Why does He bless mutual dependency on Him for the desired outcome? Because God is the only one who is morally justified! God is the only one who firsthand experiences the beginning from the end. Hence, men only rule for themselves. God is justified because He nothing but proves men befall the ones who devise injustice. God is the chief prosecutor from the highest authorities to the lowest. Men aggressively prosecute from the bottom up.
God does not allow self-preservers to devise what is morally justified. Their underlying thoughts are to devise their plaintive plea for their own innocence. Men consistently point to their friends to produce a moral universe as the ultimate judge. The more wicked men become, oppressive authority is universally seen in a violent society. When every man concludes what is right in his own eyes, the twisted statutes are adjudicated in the streets.

 God is because He does not prove Himself through human authorities. He stands on His authority alone. Consequently, God decided before the foundation of the world to reliably deliver men from the chaos of unjust rules through the eternal covenant. God displays love as the perfect law keeper. His focused kingdom advancement is through pronouncing curses on wicked judgements. He silences the highest law breakers. This is why God is loving, faithful, long suffering and gentle. He works the good out of the oppressive judgements of obstinate men to aggressively protect the poor and innocent. God will faithfully fulfill the eternal covenant to His  saints.

 Consequently, we are gifted with appreciating God deals with oppressive leaders. He justly says to them "Kiss the Son lest He be angry and you be removed from the way. " Even the oppressed cannot defends them against the oppressive rules. They cry out knowing God is with the lowly and oppressed. God receives glory out of ruling from the heavens as He intervenes. God displays His righteous anger in a predominate way toward those in criminal authority.He aggressively defend the suffering poor greater than prosecuting the rich. God is divine love.

 This is why He delivers the destitute prayers of righteous indignity. He is not exclusively concerned for the plight of nations but their suffering.God gives cursing to the oppressed to balance out oppression of corrupt rulers. He rules on this earth by speaking kingdom prayers as a lawful king in this established kingdom. God will become our Shepherd and carefully steer us to eternal springs of living waters. He will respond in cursing evil rulers.  2246 

The Lord fights our battles

 This Psalm is the most interesting because it is comparing war as a person subjected to a challenging life.10 " Though my father and mother forsake me, the LORD will receive me".This is why it opens describing the troubles of the person who does not acquire family structure to support him. We used to consider this person "a survivor". The survivor ordinarily befalls a child who grows up in a threatening environment.This unique situation in a one parent home, being inevitably forced into foster care, growing up in a threatening and competitive environment or having to endure ridicule in terrible school. Consequently, the Psalmist opens with a cry for personal care of the Lord. He protects us as He has in David battles. The Psalmist is saying the dear Lord is most faithful when the  battle is the fiercest. Ps 27 1 The LORD is my light and my salvation-- whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life-- of whom shall I be afraid?2 When evil men advance against me to devour my flesh, when my enemies and my foes attack me, they will stumble and fall.3 Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then will I be confident. 

 The Psalmist says "The LORD is the stronghold of my life-- of whom shall I be afraid?" In Psalms 18 David is describing salvation as the Lord coming from heaven on His chariot and defeating the enemy. 18 9 "He parted the heavens and came down; dark clouds were under his feet.10 He mounted the cherubim and flew; he soared on the wings of the wind.11 He made darkness his covering, his canopy around him-- the dark rain clouds of the sky.12 Out of the brightness of his presence clouds advanced, with hailstones and bolts of lightning.13 The LORD thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded.14 He shot his arrows and scattered [the enemies], great bolts of lightning and routed them. "
When the Psalmist is using the metaphor "light" to describe the Lord, watches over people who do not have the normal protection with special care. The light actually shines in our path to blind our foes. If the Lord defends us as the heat and light from the sun are directed against those who ambush us, there is no fear. The blinding light of the curses are extremely dangerous annihilating enemies in war. Consequently, he compares this protective activity as his stronghold. God is his stronghold of exceptional strength flowing through him when he was fighting. 18 28 " You, O LORD, keep my lamp burning; my God turns my darkness into light.29 With your help I can advance against a troop; with my God I can scale a wall.32 It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect.33 He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; he enables me to stand on the heights.34 He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze.35 You give me your shield of victory, and your right hand sustains me; you stoop down to make me great.36 You broaden the path beneath me, so that my ankles do not turn.37 I pursued my enemies and overtook them; I did not turn back till they were destroyed.38 I crushed them so that they could not rise; they fell beneath my feet." The Psalmist is saying the Lord fights his fierce battles when he sufficiently advances against considerable opposition, uniquely experiences, the divine power of the authoritative pronouncements flowing through him.

 What is the specific purpose of being reluctantly forced to humbly trust God in this special way? The Psalmist passionately declares.18 50 " He gives his king great victories; he shows unfailing kindness to his anointed, to David and his descendants forever." Hence, the Lord uses these unique circumstances of the penniless widow and orphan to convincingly show He is faithful to the eternal covenant with Abraham. This everlasting covenant promised to Abraham and his descendants. God is justly saying, he is our blood brother, will professionally pronounce victory over opposition.

 

The Lord fights our battles

 

 
This Chorale describes the relationship of defense and sanctification. This is the Psalm I have quoted when Im talked down into inaptly believing God is lower than He's rightly described. The idea defense communicates the particular capability to do in our sanctification as sufficient substantiation of grace representne'er how the Psalmist reasons. When brought before the correctional law, candidly confesses he can not faithfully carry it out.However, he's under the curse, If anyone comes through law.However, the response from the Psalmist would be"May the whole law be placed upon you", If someone allegedly claims the is getting better by law. Accordingly, beget this man to be cursed.
But we see in the Psalmist beats his casket and proclaims he's innocent when he's brazened with moral law. He receives exactly what he rightfully deserves. But if you observe there's a verse establishing perspective. You miraculously save the 18 27" humble but bring low those who eyes are proud". Utmost people haven't pronounced the covenant expressions in the psalms, won't fete he's perfect. God freehandedly handed a fail safe covenant to the humble. Its better than the pragmatist describes. Their God only acts when geste meets concession proving grace. But in the biblical sense, fulfilled pledges and commands are an essential part of created area represented by the King. The King pronounces innocent. We pound our casket, in Christ, we admit all effects.
You note this over and over again. The everlasting philosophy simply represents not a comforting communication to exposed wrongdoers. Its not a antithetical communication we can simply endure our trials. The philosophy faithfully represents a conclusive communication producing unbounded confidence by applying law, covenants, curses, decrees, and statutes and promises. And then the Psalmist declares he has not turned down from eternal rulings. He pronounces eternal covenant with confidence of one represented by Christ. This is why after he reasons this effective way, proceeds to supernatural confidence. We're under philosophy tutoring, naturally grade to a exceptionally shallow view of God. We generally gasp the moving of majestic mountains.
Look at what he declares. This standard language is faithfully reflected by the noble saints directly described in Revelation to the seven churches who are overcomers.Consider what he declares then. 18 37 I pursued my adversaries and caught them; I didn't turn back till they were destroyed.18 38 I crushed them so that they couldn't rise; they fell beneath my bases.39 You armed me with strength for battle; you made my adversaries bow at my bases.40 You made my adversaries turn their tails in flight, and I destroyed my foes.41 They cried for help, but there was no bone to save them-- to the LORD, but he didn't answer.42 I beat them as fine as dust borne on the wind; I poured them out like slush in the thoroughfares.43 You have delivered me from the attacks of the people; you have made me the head of nations; people I didn't know are subject to me.44 As soon as they hear me, they observe me; nonnatives cringe before me.45 They all lose heart; they come pulsing from their fortresses.46 The LORD lives! Praise be to my Gemstone! Exalted be God my Savior! 47 He's the God who avenges me, who subdues nations under me,
.This seems surprisingly harsh, but we must understand, the bible describes genuine change. The psalms precisely educate before authentically enjoying the goods of eternal redemption we really gain the victorious battle. Can a nation hold moral freedom if a suitable-bodied population doesn't believe in these principles? The Prophets note genuine change is pronounced covenants,  laws and curses ect. on behalf of the people. This is what the Psalmist is achieving here.He's pronouncing the Abrahamic covenant. The social problems always come from incorrect opinions and careless voices simply educate political pragmatism. But the Psalmist orders his words, as a king over his ideal area. To declare commodity incorrect about His control, is to be a realistic snake. And so you see then. The Psalmist lives by recreation. He knows Christ must renew all effects with the view he must overcome all opposition.

Church should consistently be described as a mighty nation assembles on the sacred mountain overlooking the formidable forces just over the visible horizon, ready for climactic battle. The war priest begins uniting Gods armies by leading the troupes in a song of victory. The official ceremonies of the imminent war Priest should be terrible. We assemble to fight a war on the Lords day. Our effective means of mutual encouragement and appropriate instruction should be properly focused on advancing warily against our formidable enemy and fighting valiantly in hand to hand combat. The effective means of unshakable faith must communicate enough hope to endure until the next Lords day. We are in a desperate battle of eternal life and sacrificial death. We are in grave danger we may not make it another brutal week. We could be wrecked when we go out into the wicked world in hand to hand combat. We assemble under the sacred banner of a King who passionately declares absolute allegiance. We sing under the sacred banner of fighting valiantly and bravely. The voices of all the men who shout the hymns as if the war priest had to summon the troupes to advance and destroy the enemy. We are prepared in our uniforms with our weapons standing in a flank across the mountain ready to advance against the enemies.The saints must sing in unison like men. Our King demands we make music with a thundering voice of assured victory. We are like the victorious armies of warriors assemble to sing professionally in unison. The Psalmist has written the pronouncements of fighting in hand to hand combat to injure the armies of Satan. The lyrics are filled with terrible curses to subdue and apprehend the armed enemy lest we be cruelly destroyed.

 

Ps 58 1 Do you rulers indeed speak justly?

Do you judge uprightly among men?

2 No, in your heart you devise injustice,

and your hands mete out violence on the earth."

Injustice is promoting the restless activity of the fallen nature. In the Psalms we are taught that the opposition to Gods perfect order in creation is the fallen redefinition of that order. When the wicked redefine Gods law they introduce violence. Since all men are born in sin they are unable to present the truth of Gods perfect order. They devise wicked schemes. The entire system of justice is dependent upon the accurate description of Gods perfect order. The restlessness is any violence done to Gods creation as a result of speaking false words. The restlessness results in injustice.

Every action of God is accomplished by His perfect justice. The entire plan of salvation are the actions of God in the plan of salvation to bring all institutions and creations under the power of renewal. All of Gods actions are legal judgements. God is avenging His purposes and establishing His kingdom by the pronouncements of blessing and cursing.

God must be perfectly just at all times. His law must be satisfied. The law is the instrument that destroys all opposition. The curses or pronounces the death sentence on all law breakers. In order for God to establish a righteous nation , He had to become a man and fulfill the law. Because Christ fulfilled the law, He provided His elect with the ability to destroy all opposition by pronouncing the curses.The law is never abrogated or miss applied. It is always the instrument that holds the wicked under the power of the curse.

We are taught that vengeance belongs to God alone. Not only are we forbidden to take vengeance but we must never lessen the laws authority. Both of these boundaries that if crossed makes man the avenger. God has established His perfect law and it works perfectly in pronouncing the curses. To depend upon other means in order to obtain justice is to go outside of Gods protection. God alone avenges by His perfect word.

All the frustrations of Gods elect are made alive by the opposition of the restless activity of the fallen nature. The words of violence must be opposed by the pronouncements of the law, covenants, curses, statutes, decrees and promises. 11 Then men will say,"Surely the righteous still are rewarded;surely there is a God who judges the earth." The Psalmist is saying that in the use of these means we are building a case in these pronouncements that will account for our innocence in the future judgement in satisfying Gods justice.

 

Ps 62 1 My soul finds rest in God alone;

my salvation comes from him.

2 He alone is my rock and my salvation;

he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.

3 How long will you assault a man?

Would all of you throw him down-

this leaning wall, this tottering fence?

4 They fully intend to topple him

from his lofty place;

they take delight in lies.

With their mouths they bless,

but in their hearts they curse.

Selah

There is only one person who has never thought or acted against your best interest. It is God Himself. God has the power to oppose every attempt of other beings to think or act against your best interest. God is the only being who thinks and acts to provide the ability for us to fulfill our purpose. Since the eternal God created us He knows exactly what we need. He knows us better than we know ourselves.

Anytime we think a stray thought that is not taught in Gods word, we offend God and our neighbor. The Psalms teach that if we are not pronouncing the law , covenants etc then we are learning to devise wicked schemes against God and our neighbors. Because we are corrupted in our minds and hearts we must be transformed by the renewing of our minds. We must be under the control of the Holy Spirit who teaches us Gods word. We must discipline ourselves to compare all ideas to the word of God.

So the Psalmist is complaining that the world is filled with wicked people who devise wicked schemes because they do not think thoughts after God. Nor do they apply to themselves these doctrines of grace in the pronouncements. So the Psalmist has learned to only trust in God. You see our lives should be spent in searching the scriptures and finding the details so that we can eliminate the false words that lessen the gospels power. We must become proficient in viewing everything in life through the lenses of the scriptures.7 My salvation and my honor depend on God

he is my mighty rock, my refuge.

  Man was delivered to prosper in the garden of God without tension. Sin brought opposition which brought tension.We face outward opposition in the world, Devil and evil men. Inward opposition is sin and corruption. God made us  united in mind will and emotion. Man was implanted with the law  to rule the earth. He applied  law by lawful desires.But now mans desires are frustrated.When earnest desires are frustrated man experiences anxiety. The Psalmist speaks blessing on  man who meditates on the Psalms.He is like a flowering tree carefully planted in the garden of God.He is acclimated to the earth. A person who meditates learns the Psalms are authoritative pronouncements of law, covenants curses decrees statutes and promises.We learn after meditating on  pronouncements we vicariously experience divine mystery. God graciously gave us  pronouncements as His complex reaction to considerable opposition we face. Gods infinite reactions consume our rudimentary desires. He causes us to desire and place our sacred trust in pronouncements as the lens we view ourselves and the world. When we learn to rely on  pronouncements, we will not want anything  to sufficiently satisfy us. Through the Psalms, he returns to his native home in the garden of God.

He teaches in32 when we were saved God forgave our past, present and future sins. Now we relate to God by knowledge of sin.We tell God, I know you know I sinned. Consequently, we will not fail to be forgiven because we always will be alerted we offend God. Sometimes we decline in our spiritual lives.When we decline, God gave us the gift of knowing we are sinners, we grow in our guilt and shame. But God is always available with arms open to agree we sinned. We confess our sins on foundation of grace, not works. We need learning to depend on God. We depend on God by word and Spirit. But the Psalmist pronounces axioms to receive illumination. Therefore, the Psalms are like proverbs.We learn to use them to create oracles. Oracles are revealed secrets from  gods.Because God knows us better than we know ourselves, we depend on Him to guide us by  secrets. These remain ideas God communicates to us about ourselves that no man can discern.I've meditated word for word on Psalms for 40 years. An experienced professional progressively develops philosophical sayings from pronouncing each Psalm. These are divine oracles.We pronounce and sincerely pray the Psalms. We learn God miraculously recovers us when our creative minds instantly begin to process thoughts. God intentionally causes our minds to conceive constructive ideas He is communicating. He carefully writes on our minds through divine oracles, and we compose the published books of Gods oracles.

 Psalm 25 illuminates us the path we tread. The Christian walks a path in a face to face relationship with God. The Christian is made complete at salvation. Because we were implanted perfect gifts along with our teacher and advocate. We do not require anyone to direct us. How does God relate to us face to face? He eliminates wicked people from our lives who shame us.  vs2. Because we are indwelt by word and Spirit  we need to beseech God to steer us. We are like the kid who depends upon parents to provide our needs. We go asking Daddy first.When we ask we can be confident, he will teach us. God governs all reality. Therefore, He inspires the desires of all men. He creates the desires of familiar people. God can improve the memories of us. He can foster our connections by inspiring desires of our social interactions. vs6,7 God focuses on us as if we remain the sole person on  earth. He is making us like Christ. He remembers as we are finished. Face to face is God remembering as we truly are.He remembers us by knowing us better than we know ourselves.  "according to your love remember me" He directs us by illumination.vs8,9 Gods has sworn by covenant He will act for us to His own hurt according to law, curses, decrees, promises and statutes. vs 13,14 Finally we need the Psalmist to haul us by the hand and speak to God in a transparent way. God requires us to learn to pour our hearts out to Him. Since God does not speak, we think He is conceiving something about us. God never acts in our presence.We act by not being honest with God. God knows when we are acting. The Psalmist became transparent through the "cry." We must learn to be honest about what we are experiencing.vs  16-22
