Ps 31 23 Love the LORD, all his saints! The LORD preserves the faithful, but the proud he pays back in full." We must make a distinction between an unbeliever who's unfit to please God and a sincere saint who really retain the same incapability but has been handed the nature of God to overcome sin and corruption. This is why in the bible a saint transpire technically not a proud man. Hither are some remarkably classic exemplifications of what I'm saying. 36 11"May the bottom of the proud not come against me, nor the hand of the wicked drive me down." The Psalmist is gainfully employing a figure of speech considered alteration. We can cloverleaf the wicked and the proud. Here the Psalmist calls an unbeliever the" proud" We must understand that as long as we're in this body we divide some of the same traits as the wicked. We struggle with the same sins. But the difference is we no longer are linked with the wicked. It's insolvable for us to be righteous and also fall again and come unsaved. The bible clarifies this distinction so that we aren't thwarted about our eternal deliverance. Enable me say this. I've learned these psalms and meditated on them for 45 years. After you employ them, you begin understanding the significance of the difference the names in appealing to God on behalf of His covenant people. Now don't take this particular, but you must understand anyone who has grown to this point knows how immature a person is who has not gone further just a superficial word study. There's a difference between using the psaims so much that they remain a alternate language and doing a cross reference study. We can not be linked a proud man because when the Psalmist duly speaks eternal curses against the determined adversary He gainfully employs the name of the adversary as" proud". 94 2 Rise up, O Judge of the earth; pay back to the proud what they earn." Presently this is terribly pivotal, and we must look nearly at the tutoring of the curse. Because utmost prospective preceptors avoid the effective tutoring of the eternal curse that places these sanctioned names in their proper environment. Because the tutoring of the curse lays down the logical lines that we'd not see if we were looking at these words pragmatically. Its easy to take a sacred word out of the proper environment and use it flippantly. Now enable me talk about the relationship between defense and sanctification. Because ultramodern theologians don't employ the eternal curses as the Psalmist generally does they don't see how important the state of eternal righteousness is as opposed to the state of eternal death. Its like any tutoring. You can be told by the predominate tutoring of the day which is Arminianism and Catholicism and still accept the doctrines of grace. This is how a tutoring can be depraved so that we cross the lines of autonomous grace. In my opinion because I've learned the curses and blessings I believe it's veritably easy for a person to interpret commodity and not understand the emotional bias that he uses in the tutoring. We must understand there's no negotiation for advancing in this life by knowing the words enough to understand them like we use our English. In the Christian faith what we don't grasp is our propensity to express our own opinions into our form of speech. The Christian life remain a focus on words. It's checking the words so we can correct the nonstop tone talk that we repeat that's inaccurate. This life is replacing our own patterns of study and articulating every word under the authority of the bible. You must understand the psalms educate us to challenge our own tone talk. This ethical geste is absolutely essential to understanding and duly applying the bible. A person lessoned in this effective discipline is like a educated professional in understanding the implicit problems with people who are vulnerable babies in their use of sacred Book. You can get to the point where you do this discipline for hours a day and can see to identify the areas where a teaching is causing the problem Teaching is self talk and self talk is the view we learn about our reality. A person who uses the Psalms acquires a altogether diverse way of viewing the distinct parts of life. We learn to take a situation and put it through the Psalms pronouncing to take the disjointed parts of our experience and unify everything around us. After many years we are like a cartoon character who depends upon the extraordinary powers that we acquire from our pronouncements so we cannot exist without the discipline. We would yield the extraordinary view that we gain from the discipline. I sincerely apologize for my propensity to always correct someone. Its a habit of mine to detect an expression from a person and turn it over as part of the mediation in the Psalms. Its very hard for me to keep from processing the effective teaching without a very intent focus. My wheels are inevitably turning so to speak.I have an excuse because my mother befalls a Newton. I come from a family where everyone is employing as many ideas reading things about people, etc. its what made me hungry for knowledge.
