Now we know that whatever happens in the universe of our experience also happens in the universe of God's display. If indeed God has created everything in this universe, then God has given us the display of His glory. The reason that these elements of matter are formed in Him creating beauty is for the purpose of showing us the kind of disposition of God by what He has made. There is a transcendence in all of the beauty that God has made. Even though this universe is finite in space and time, there is still something infinite about it.Although God is infinite and eternal, He has no parts. If He had parts, it would mean that He was limited in His infinite wholeness. So the finite points to the infinite because we see all of the beauty of God's attributes in the beauty of the finite.There is nowhere we can go where God is not. If we go up to the heavens, He is there. If we go to the depths of the earth, He is there. So, even though we experience a succession of ideas and experiences with God, everything is already with God.There is no succession in relation to God's will – everything points to His desire to glorify Himself through eternal good. God's will is expressed through His transcendent holiness, and He brings things into existence according to His eternal power. So everything that happens in this life – whether it be through the wills of men or not – is God speaking into existence. As Job said, "the Lord gives and the Lord takes away – blessed be the name of the Lord." There are only two things that happen in relation to our existence – receiving something or losing something. So there is nothing that comes to us that has not come from His hand.If we measure everything according to our ability to understand anything, then we only know God as we know this finite world. We say the power of God is displayed in the wind, light, shaking of the earth, and the silence of a storm. However, God is other. He never sleeps or slumbers, and watches over us in a timeless vision.We have a night and a day, but with God, the night is as light as the day. So when God speaks, He speaks as the first cause of everything that transpires. For He speaks and summons the earth from the rising of the sun to the place where it sets. He shines forth. His glory is always on display... for God cannot be less than He is at anytime. He is eternal.When we get a vision of the Greatness of God... the Most High in all the universe for there is no place where all of God does not inhabit in all of eternity.. as we define eternity. His glory shines forth throughout an immeasurable amount of space for the vision of the invisible God is being consumed by the contemplation of His bigness. God speaks!!!!!!!!!!

 The psalmist always places himself in the hands of God when pronouncing axioms, as he is familiar with the use of the law, curses, empowering pledges, decrees, and statutes. He intimately understands that God is adequately communicating with him through specific circumstances and notable issues in this active life. Because he pronounces eternal curses rightly, he is always concentrated on God's creative path by prostrating opposition.When he experiences the pain of his body and soul, he genuinely believes that God has allowed him to suffer consciously in justified anger directed against his fearsome adversaries. When we naturally learn to accept logical axioms, we are explosively advised to precisely manipulate our considerable mourning's to our distinct advantage. However, also He's moved to come to our aid, If God consciously went to similar logical axes in nicely demanding our sin and suffering upon His Son to reliably deliver us from sin and its consequences.God has given us moral principles to guide us, help us cope with suffering, and encourage us to see the value of Christ's sacrifice. Who could be against us when we have such support? This New Testament promise is not unrealistic, but rather a source of strength and hope.If God is on our side, we can be confident that we will be protected from the devil's malicious plans in this evil world.Thus, if we adhere to basic principles, we will generally avoid becoming undecided. Directing our attention to mastering the determined adversary at any given time will help us feel more confident and gradually increase our ability to pay attention. The justified wrath of God lies in the authoritative declaration of the eternal curse of the moral law against the wicked. However, we are still obliged to freely accept the eternal curses if we have sinned.However, if we only focus on our own doubts and sins, we miss out on the opportunity to learn more about God. By speaking holistically about God, we can learn more about His goodness, even in the midst of our own struggles. This helps us to see ourselves more clearly in relation to Him, and to realize that we are His faithful followers.

 When God appears to be hiding His face, it is not necessarily His doing, but our misunderstanding. The Psalmist complains to God by using words that express doctrinal views. From his perspective, the problems are real. From God's perspective, the problem can be solved by direct infusion of life or by illumination. When God solves a problem, it is usually by constraining us.We are born into a world that opposes God. In order to understand the opposition, we must reflect on the axioms. God defines in the Psalms the character of evil, the philosophy of evil, and the angle of attack. Axioms were not only written to describe the problem intellectually, but were written to express opposition to the problem. It was written to grapple with the problem in the mind. "How long do I have to wrestle with my thoughts?"God gives us the strength to overcome whatever is opposing us, so that we can feel comfortable in our own skin. If we are wrestling with our thoughts, we are overcome by our opposition. When we are overcome, the pronouncements are not able to settle our thoughts. We experience sorrow. However, when we are wrestling with our thoughts, we are also wrestling in receiving illumination. The Psalmist describes God's care of constraining us as the Shepherd carrying us. We must become strong enough to feel that we are overcoming the opposition.The most discouraging thoughts when we are not at peace is that the people who do not have our best interest will be able to over power us and destroy us. However, since God made us to overcome opposition, we define the fear as being in the hands of our enemies. The Psalmist continues to confide in God, and does not use the word of fleeing to God for refuge.When someone is backed into a corner, they will speak their mind freely, without fear of repercussions. God always has a way of solving problems that we may not expect. We must always trust in His judgement.The Psalmist says that God always provides us with what we need when we struggle. He will never leave us without compensation for our efforts. He is always there to help us overcome our weaknesses.

 If God has decreed that everything that comes to pass will involve our actions done on the basis of our weaknesses and sins, then He has planned in His eternal counsel exactly everything, including my growth, to form this person. So we live before God who has no surprises. This is why the Psalmist speaks to God as an ongoing dialogue. Most men do not think they are coming to God insincerely. We divide the commandments and make steps to God. But the Psalmist is teaching us the form of communication from God's perspective.If we were to communicate the axioms to God, we would be engaging in a continuous conversation with Him. We would be worried if He appeared to be silent. Some of us might conclude that His silence is due to our sins. However, when the Psalmist experiences God's silence, he tells God about it. God wants us to express to Him what we are experiencing; this is not for God's benefit, as He knows our thoughts before we think them, but for our own faith.If we could always hear God speak, do you think we would have needs? We would experience such satisfaction and acceptance that we would be bubbling over. So the Psalmist is clinging to God at all times. He is always telling God what he wants and his troubles and sins. He is always confiding in God. This is the art of speaking the law, covenants, curses, statutes, and decrees.If we are happy, we praise God. However, in this Psalm, the speaker is insecure, and feels only satisfied when God speaks. This suggests that feelings of loneliness and rejection can only be alleviated when we have God's attention.

 What the composer is respectfully pointing out is that God's holy words are more than just conscious thoughts; they precisely characterize the innovative expressions of His burning desire. These irresistible desires are overwhelming and majestic, and they are what God desires to impart to those who receive divine initiation into impartial existence. This fantastic Advent is diverse, but the powerful elements are closely connected and united.The eternal language between God and His desires reaches a conclusion in this moral communion - and it has the power to annihilate us instantly, if we're not careful. Beyond the holy word, God's true desires are much more than we can imagine. His presence is awe-inspiring and has no limits to sacred words or respectable language. We should be careful not to be consumed by the harmonious cohesion of God's enthusiastic desires.We focus specifically on what God wants for us, and convert this total capacity into something more demanding. This is done in order to better understand what He desires for us and how we can best live according to His wishes. All the good articulation we experience vicariously is beyond our useful potential to remember accurately, but it is wired to physical and spiritual language in this finite world. When we say that sincere desires are majestic, we are right when we say that God's spiritual practice in the best of worlds is as innovative as the original.

 It is a common experience for Christians to be confronted with others who gossip about our past sins or shortcomings. In these moments, it can be difficult to trust that God has forgiven us and to instead offer blessings to those who speak against us. However, it is important to remember that part of our human nature is to be negative toward those we know struggle with sin - even if that person is ourselves.Because the psalmist pronounces the curses of sin on himself, he learns our identity in Christ's death. If we practice thinking that we must not give a lot of time thinking about our own sin because they are identified in His death, then we will be able to have a positive view of our future that will help us talk positively about other Christians.The Psalmist never teaches that we should try to get along with those who speak evil about him. Rather, he always curses those who do this. These pronouncements teach us to view everything in black and white. So if a Christian is speaking like the wicked, the curses will work to constrain the error rather than judge the person. We are required to see the best in others and speak well of them. Our hope is that in speaking the curses we will learn to be on the same team in facing real enemies.

 The Psalmist teaches that the hands represent the character that separates the righteous and the wicked. The righteous oppose the wicked by God's law. The law curses lawbreakers. The righteous have Christ as a substitute. We speak the curses to destroy the power of the wicked. If we argue that God chooses to upend the power of the wicked, then why does God give us the curses? Vengeance belongs to God, who curses the wicked. Those curses are used by the apostles and prophets. The Lord responds to the pronouncements.The Psalmist is praying for protection from the harm that the wicked can inflict with their hands. The hands are often used as a weapon of violence.God is not pragmatic. Pragmatism is the belief that the best course of action is the one that maximizes practical benefits. This often means that we have to accept unanswered questions and adjust our attitude according to the solution of the problem at hand. However, in God's thinking, all opposition is corrupted. This is why God determined good and bad in His choice of blessing and cursing. We are not like God because we do not have perfect knowledge of all things. God is able to choose with perfect knowledge, but we do not know the extent of our own corruption or the corruption of others. We are always trusting in a person or situation with partial blindness. If God left us without being able to come to His line of blessing and cursing then we would not be able to apply truth as we understand it. But God has given us truth so that we are able to apply it. The world would be in complete confusion if we could not apply the truth. The question is, how do we apply truth in a biblical way? How do we avoid pragmatic applications of truth?We were not created to make decisions based on practicality or what would be most beneficial for us in the world. When God makes a decision, He does not base it on the person involved. He makes it based on whether the person deserves blessing or cursing. God does not oppose anything with moral power. The object of His choice is either worthy or unworthy. He simply curses the unworthy object. So we can conclude that there is nothing alive that opposes God.We make judgements based on what we hear, think, see, or touch. We are pragmatic and make decisions based on what is true. We are not omniscient, omnipresent, or omnipotent, but we are still responsible for making moral choices based on what God has said in His commandments. This is why He gave us His principles as He spoke them when He created and recreated the world.

 The question is why does the Psalmist describe the righteous as people who are non assertive? There are no aggressive characteristics in his personality. A blameless man in terms of the way he speaks God's truth from his heart. He spends most of his time speaking according to the law, covenants, curses, decrees, promises, and statutes. If there is any aggression expressed, it is through his meditation. The problem of sin is not just a violation of God's law but it is also violence expressed to one's neighbor. So the Psalmist has learned how to deal with sin in the pronouncement of the curse. He has no reason to be competitive or aggressive. Instead of sharing bad news or the sins of others, he goes out of his way to describe his neighbor in positive words. He has taught himself to only speak words of blessings and curses, and leaves judgement to God. He does not even make sly remarks about his neighbor.The Psalmist here is teaching that it is important to keep one's oaths, even if it means despising a vile man. This is because a righteous man knows how to distinguish a covenant breaker by the curses they incur. To be blessed is to curse the evil curse. Covenant keepers curse the wicked. The pronouncement of the curse is more important than the loss.God creates all things according to their inherent value. He never devalues His creatures. However, man often does not treat his neighbor according to God's value system. This is why the law says to love your neighbor as you love yourself. God knows that all men are prone to extorting their neighbor. But He has given us a perfect self hatred in the axioms. We would rather curse according to the law than to take a bribe against the innocent. You see the worse evils in God's view are not the personal sins but the sins in using our neighbor for our own profit. All nations turn God's law upside down by practicing bribery.We must be careful to pronounce the axioms correctly in order to be defended, because we seek to avoid offending rather than to be aggressive. This is why the axioms are so aggressive.

 God spoke all things into existence, so the world was reasonably created by God's axioms. God created the world for humanity, and tasked them with naming the things of creation. From the beginning of time, humans have been creating images of the personality of God's creation. This is why the Psalms are a book of ordering and reordering creation. There is no social order, reality of personality, or expression of authority in light of God's governing the world that is not first devised in human minds and described in human speech.It is in man's nature to create images according to the laws implanted by God. Therefore, God judges the thoughts and intentions of the heart, because there would be no evil if the thoughts and words of men were lawful. If we change our thoughts and words, we can control our actions. This is why we are like God when we think thoughts after Him.The Psalms are written in a way that reflects the society of the time, our view of ourselves, and our relationship with God. They are designed to bring blessing and unity into our lives, and to help us connect with God. We don't usually spend a lot of time thinking about our circumstances, the people around us, or our place in the world. But when we speak the words of the Psalms, we are reminded of all that is good and important in life.It is important to focus on God's creation as we walk through this world. All of the circumstances in our lives are creations. We are always focused on recreating the axioms in order to be completely unified. In other words, the recreation is more important than our social identity. Because social identity is something that we are always recreating, we care less about what others think of us. We are pronouncing the us that we want others to think of us. We are changing our personal view and everyone else's view.

 The Psalmist is emphasizing the importance of meditating on the law, covenants, curses, statutes, promises, and decrees of God. He is stressing that through this discipline, we become very familiar with God's searching. God searches us according to our knowledge of His word. When we pronounce the axioms, God reorders our frustrations by meeting our desire according to His decrees from eternity past. The Psalmist has been encouraged to speak the axioms that have become the communication of his heart. Overwhelmed by the mystery of how God can use eternal proclamation to order even the simplest actions, like sitting. He has a sense that, in pursuing God, he is also being pursued. He has become aware that God is present in all aspects of life, even the most mundane activities. The Psalmist has learned to react to the circumstances of life through the axioms, or core truths. There is no activity that is separated from his meditation.from the perspective of God's eternal truths, the desires of his heart are in line with those truths. He does not express frustration that God is withholding anything or working against his desires, because the truths are not constrained by time or space. So the Psalmist expresses confidence and control over the world in agreement with God's eternal purposes.The question is: What is the one thing we need the most in life? We need to know that God is in control of our lives. So, the Psalmist has experienced the power of God through the words of his body. As he pronounces the axioms, he is moved by the power of God. We say that the axioms contain the reality of God's eternal powers, in which the Psalmist is contained.The main frustration in life is feeling like God is distant and uninvolved. We often feel like He comes and goes as He pleases, without any regard for our needs or feelings. However, the Psalmist reminds us that God is always present, even when we can't see Him or feel His presence. His word is a guide for our lives, and His thoughts are what move us forward.The axioms are eternal truths. The Psalmist has experienced the power over time and space. He is saying that he has experienced the highest points of the heavens and the lowest depths of the earth. The curses push the lowest depths down under his feet.

 What is it that we need most in life? We need to know our purpose and that we are fulfilling that purpose. You see, we must always maintain a strong sense of self-identity. God created everything and every living thing has needs that must be met. We cannot feel complete without understanding our roots. So, how can we understand how we are made and feel wanted? We must find all of our identity in God's creative words. God made us by speaking the axioms. He gave us the axioms in pronouncements because the creator made us creators. Every day a child is born! God creates millions of babies a day. He pronounces the axioms every day. In order to achieve our goals, we need to be able to communicate effectively so that we can receive guidance and understanding that others may not be able to perceive. God understands us better than anyone because He created us. He endowed us with eternal pronouncements so that we may rule over the earth. He bestowed upon us the most pleasurable way to communicate in order to establish our rule over the earth. God desires that we create our own baby in obedience to Him.

 The Psalmist is teaching that God focuses on communication in understanding us. This is evident in the way the Psalmist speaks to himself in the scripture, which is meant for our learning. What is the Psalmist teaching us? He is saying that in this world we will always have a reputation that is described by others. How does the Psalmist respond? He tells God.You will find that the Psalmist has a conversation with God that describes the normal communication that we will face in this world. He is showing the kinds of characters that are common in all generations. The self talk teaches us to be aware of all of the kinds of things that sinners talk about. The psalmist is teaching us that God is aware of all communication and that by knowing this, we can ensure that we are not viewing the world in the wrong way. By telling God what the psalmist is saying, we are effectively telling God what God is telling us. Therefore, it is important that we learn the psalmist's self-talk in order to understand ourselves.How does a wicked man speak to himself? By examining this question, we can gain a better understanding of the characters in our world. God is teaching us that unless we listen to His instructions, we will misunderstand the people around us. The Psalmist is communicating with God to gain a deeper understanding of His perspective. Sometimes we tell God something, but we don't fully understand His view because we need to be taught by the Psalmist.

 If we are not taught by God how to interpret other people's hearts, then we develop an inaccurate image of that person. Even though we may think the Psalmist is being judgmental and mean, the truth is that without God's guidance, the Psalmist has no authority to pronounce a curse based on his own personal opinions. Only God has the right to take vengeance, which leaves us completely neutral in our judgements, since the curses kill our desire to judge.We are trying to put ourselves in a position before God where we are both blessed and cursed. Those who are cursed are without hope, but we both share in the total inability to change our circumstances. In this understanding, we have pronounced the line of cursing and blessing. We glory in God, and we have given them a little rest by acknowledging their hopelessness and the need for God. In this way, we have a heart to heart relationship.

 The Psalmist is teaching that the pronouncing of axioms has after effects. All of the experiences he has been describing branch out into events that he does not understand. God's thoughts branch out in experience of His desires. We experience God's desires that give us hope that what He is doing will be in agreement with our desires. As we wait on God, we learn to trust that He will provide the pronouncements and answers we need, even if they are prolonged. Our understanding is deepened as we experience the desires that He has placed within us, which He will fulfill in His time. We are constantly being pursued by God, who is always seeking to draw us closer to Him. His desires are overpowering, and He calls on us to speak the truth. He often remains silent in order to test our patience, but we know that He is always working to prepare the answer. We have learned from past experiences that even though He may prolong His response, we can be certain that He is always working for our benefit.

 The question is whether we can separate the law of God from the covenant promises. The law in the Old Testament was always a covenant law. Why was the law and the covenant connected? Because God was putting Himself on notice that He alone would fulfill the requirements of the law in order to show Himself faithful in His covenant promises. Christ was the covenant keeper.The Psalmist invokes the covenant promises as a defense for Israel. In this case, he appeals to God based on God's faithfulness and righteousness. Now, this covenant is eternal. So the Psalmist always petitions God for the fulfillment of His covenant promise to be seen in Israel, either through the perfect obedience of the people or through the Mediator on behalf of Israel. The Covenant lawgiver created the world and promises to govern His creation by protecting His covenant people.The Psalmist prays to God to curse the wicked nation that opposes Israel, so that God's kingdom may be established on earth. He cites the law of God that curses the wicked, the curses that remove all opposition, the decrees that establish God's kingdom, the statutes that establish Israel as a nation of laws, and the promises that are gifts of God in ruling the world. The Psalmist prays to God, asking for help in defeating the enemy nation. To curse the wicked people, so that they will be removed from power. For God to establish God's kingdom on Earth, and to make Israel a nation of laws. Lastly, he asks for God to give the people the gifts they need to rule the world.

 When God spoke all things into creation, He did so without coercion. He acted freely and with satisfaction, pronouncing what He created as good. In doing so, He experienced the highest pleasure in His masterpiece. However, as creator, He reestablished His freedom in the recreation of His people. How is it that a free God is able to recreate His people? He does so by creating a garden for them and giving them rulership over His masterpiece. This is why, when sin entered the world, God had to reestablish His absolute authority by giving mankind eternal pronouncements. These pronouncements show that God is free because His word is reliable. The way of God is reestablished as all-glorious in these eternal pronouncements, which are absolute kingdom words that create reality. So, God's elect walk in the way of eternal powers as stewards of God's masterpiece. By satisfying Himself with saints, God shows that His word is the absolute way to covenant worthiness!The Psalms teach that salvation is a demonstration of God's eternal covenant promises. These promises are continually being fulfilled through deliverance until we are rewarded in eternity. We proclaim absolute terms of the eternal covenant, which is God's word of deliverance. We are pronouncing God's absolute control when He simply speaks our next deliverance.

 Do you ever think that we spend too much time thinking about how we need to act and not enough time thinking about how we need to fear God? But do you consider that God created us for Himself and not for our performance for Him? This is God's world and a history of God's performance. After all, God does not need us to add to His stamp on the history of redemption. So we learn from the Psalmist that we would be much more secure and cheerful if we stopped taking the glory in thinking that our history was significant. We are to magnify and praise God for His works.Have you ever considered that most of the celebrating in the Old Testament Church centered around Israel's deliverance from Egypt? If you think about it, God had to do a work that was impossible for humans to accomplish. He had to take hundreds of thousands of people across a dangerous land with no supplies and no way of sustaining their lives. In moving from one place to another, they had no time to farm or attend to the sick. You see, not only did God have to do all the work, but He also had it written down for our learning, so that He would encourage us who live with all our needs being met to depend upon Him.God's teaching focuses on making His people totally dependent on Him, so that they will learn to focus on His works instead of their own. This is why the Psalmist emphasizes our speech, so that we will learn to focus on God's works instead of our own.

 We often divide our troubles into two categories: those that befall us that we don't deserve, and those that are the result of our own actions. The former we often see as beyond our control, while the latter we view as our own responsibility. However, the Bible takes a different perspective, viewing all our troubles in terms of life and death. This perspective makes us question why we so often divide our troubles in the first place, and why we accept responsibility for some but not others.Because the world is a place where we typically award good behavior and punish bad behavior, the Psalmist teaches us that God measures life differently, by redemption. He argues that history is not really measured by the world's scheme, which simply divides good and bad. Instead, he reverses the bad by speaking the axioms. He uses the bad to argue for his weakness. How can God reward a sinner? Because Christ's death did not make it possible for sinners to do something to pay for their sins.The death of Christ sealed the curse on some people and obtained salvation for God's chosen. If there is any hope of being delivered in this world, the curse of the law must be applied to all those who will curse God. Our only hope is to die with Christ and be raised with Him to walk in continued deliverance. You see, we who are delivered are always being saved by dying. We are always speaking the curse of the law because we have failed to keep it.If we think we have obeyed God's law, we may feel that we deserve to be treated better, or at least in proportion to our efforts. We may believe that God will accept our prayers because we are law-abiding. However, since Christ suffered the wrath of His Father, how can we claim that we deserve to be accepted? We are saying that our works make God obligated to treat us like Christ. This is worse than the most vile sin.God had to curse anyone who came to him on their own obedience, because the least sinner and the worse sinner are made equal in death. So we wish the curses on those who come without dying, in order to be acceptable to God.

 God created everything in accordance with His Word. His works are good, and He created them for the purpose of glorifying Himself. Therefore, it is fitting to praise Him. We praise Him wholeheartedly, in accordance with His law. This includes the order and symmetry seen in creation, as well as His covenant with us ( His gift of love and faithfulness in sustaining and replenishing creation), His promise to bless us with all good things, and His decree that everything in history is working according to His plan. Finally, we praise Him for His statutes, which provide us with protection as we walk in His ways.The word of God is the standard of righteousness and justice. It is unchanging and always the same. God pronounces His axioms, and all time is reordered according to them. He planned in eternity past to recreate all things according to His axioms. When we pronounce them, we are speaking the perfect recreation of God. His word is right and true, and a faithful word. It fills the earth with His unfailing love, and it gathers and fills up. It creates something from nothing, and it commands and makes firm. It creates reverence.It cancels out all other advice, it ruins the plans of nations, it thwarts the purposes of people- it secures His purposes through all generations. He watches all the people in earth according to His word, He shapes the hearts of all by His word, He controls all wars by His word.The Lord saves His saints from death and provides for them during times of famine through His word. His word is our help and shield, giving us hope to wait on the Lord. His unfailing love rests upon us and we are able to command all things through His pronouncements.

 According to the Psalmist, the hands represent the character that separates the righteous and the wicked. The righteous oppose the wicked by God's law, which curses lawbreakers. The righteous have Christ as a substitute, and by speaking the curses, they destroy the power of the wicked. If we argue that God chooses to upend the power of the wicked, then why does God give us the curses? Vengeance belongs to God who curses the wicked. These curses are used by the apostles and prophets, and the Lord responds to the pronouncements.The Psalmist is asking for protection from harm that the wicked inflict with their hands. Their hands are a tool of violence.When we are pragmatic, we live with questions that are not answered and adjust our attitude according to our solution to the problem at hand. However, in God's thinking, all opposition is corrupted. This is why God determined good and bad in His choice of blessing and cursing.We cannot be like God because we do not have perfect knowledge of evil or corruption. God can choose perfectly because He knows everything. However, we only have a limited understanding of the corrupt forces opposing us. We always have to trust in people and situations with some degree of blindness. If God did not give us the ability to identify His line of blessing and cursing, then we would not be able to apply truth correctly. But because He has given us truth, we are able to apply it in the world. This would be complete chaos if we could not apply truth in a biblical way. The question then becomes: how do we apply truth in a biblical way? How do we avoid simply using it in a pragmatic way?We were not created to make decisions based on what is practical or efficient. When God makes a decision, He does not consider the person's circumstances. He makes His decision based on whether the person deserves blessing or cursing. God does not have any opposition in terms of His moral power. The object of His choice is either deserving or undeserving of His blessing. So we can conclude that there is no living thing that opposes God.We make judgements by what we sense. We are pragmatic, and we make judgements by what we hear, think, see, or touch. Because we are not omniscient, omnipresent, or omnipotent, we are still responsible to make moral choices based on the truth of God's word. This is why God gave us His axioms as He spoke them in creating and recreating the universe.

 We must understand that God does not share in our successes. He is the one who has accomplished everything, and all of this is because of the truths that we understand in the law, covenants, curses, statutes, and decrees. God has created the world by speaking the axiom, and He has given us them so we can overcome all opposition. Everything we do and say is according to the eternal decrees God has laid out in His counsel. These are the kings' decrees, petitions, and cries. Christ's death and resurrection established the words of God as having authority. All corruption has been destroyed because the cross has  authority of the Kings word establishing God's decrees in His eternal counsel and going forward into the future judgment. We have genuine reality in the axioms.Axioms are absolute statements which cannot be ignored or suggestions. They are the language that God used in His eternal counsel when He decreed whatsoever comes to pass. This language always works in our defense. The Psalmist describes our defense as a rock. There is no power strong enough to thwart the curses. They are the rock the smashes the opposition. If the curses were not absolute then there is something in this world that has not been identified with Christ death. Christ has destroyed all opposition and has put all things under His feet. We are identified with Him and share in His authority. If there was anything that can thwart us then Christ is not our complete substitute.If God's work in sustaining salvation was not complete, then we would not have a foundation to stand on. We would not have a fortress to hide. If Christ had not obtained a complete salvation, the axioms of salvation could not be trumpeted over the land. If the axioms of salvation do not go out from us and do as they are pronounced, according to God's direction, then salvation is not complete. Thank God we have a sure foundation, fortress, and horn of salvation!When David describes the weapons of war, we may misunderstand how he is describing them. The Psalms are not a book to teach war tactics. The Psalms teach us how to be delivered by using the principles of warfare as the soldier uses his weapons. The deliverance described in the Psalms has already been accomplished through God. We must not add to God's salvation! The weapons are eternal and omnipotent. These principles are promised to God's saints who are weak and without hope in this world. The Psalmist calls upon God in wisdom through the holistic cries of the principles of warfare and he is delivered.It is important that we learn the purpose of pronouncing the axioms, which is to understand that we do not contribute to our own salvation. If man could contribute to obtaining salvation, then the axioms would be man's promises. However, we need absolute curses, promises ,covenants, decrees, and statutes. If we can question the success of the axioms then we are wasting our time in pronouncing them. The majority of men who scoff at pronouncing would convince us that we cannot trust God. You see the world loves to describe a powerful God but they will not agree that He is who He is by His axioms!If we do not put our trust in God's word, we will instead put our trust in our own interpretation of His word. This will lead us to cherry-pick the parts of His word that we like, and to try and make God fit into our own description of Him. However, the law, covenants, and curses are too wonderful and too awful for us to accept in this way. We must begin to feel unworthy of speaking them in order to distrust ourselves. We must learn how unworthy we are to speak in such extreme terms.

 God is all-glorious and there is none who could look upon Him and live. The Psalmist teaches that when this glorious God looks upon His people, the light of His face shines upon us. God loves to hear His pronouncements. We experience the brightness of His glory when God smiles upon us. God is not so much interested in hearing prayers that are put in our own words as He is in hearing His pronouncements. We can move God to respond with great events of the earth. When God comes to judge man, he shakes in a violent hurricane or tornado.The allure of His control is too great. We become reliant on the effervescence of God's glory. We are overpowered by God's beauty. We start to pronounce His word for more of His control. We feel that we cannot do anything without His power moving in us. Oh the power in His pronouncements. We are moved along by the control of the Spirit. God teaches us with perfect control.

 The Psalmist is teaching that God created everything in the world in its own unique way, which is never duplicated. And yet the Psalmist compares it to the words we use to describe the beauty of this diverse creation. And yet the voice that is heard is God's view of His master piece according to His pleasure. Not only does God create and understand the complexity and real beauty of His creation, but He must also create the creature's view of His creation. The creation is not only a diversity of God's creation but each creature has its own unique perspective.We can say that God understands the real view of His creation as the voice goes out, but our view is created by using the pronouncements in enjoying the beauty. This is why the Psalmist compares the voice that goes out into the earth with God's axioms that create the animation in our experience. We are like the artist who uses the axioms to create our experience and the quality of our live as the voice that tells the story of our lives. We are born in a world of a cast of characters that become creations in our world through the axioms.We can compare our artistic ability in pronouncing to the Wizard of Oz. Dorothy is surrounded by the cast of characters in Kansas that will be the characters who are part of the fairy tale in which Dorothy must get to the land of Oz so she can get her glass slippers and return to Kansas. We are born with the ability to create our own fairy tales, using the people in our lives as the cast of characters. God created everyone in an image that is continually changing.People tend to see things differently. In order to see things the way God does, we need to follow His guidelines. This will help us create a world that is a true reflection of God's image.The Psalmist is describing the human condition in Psalm 19 - our tendency to live according to our own view, rather than God's. We are not naturally comfortable with God's ongoing creation of us and our world, and so we do not depend upon Him to change our view according to His.We do not allow God to create something that must be illuminated to us in using The pronouncements. We are always making judgments about ourselves and others by what we think God has said. But the Psalmist is teaching that he has the ability to pronounce a totally new view of himself and others. He is always forming a new view so he is comfortable in always changing his view.

 We are all deceived by nature. Our internal capacity for confidence is limited because we are responsible for our own particular vision, which is inevitably distorted. We lack the necessary knowledge to understand what is happening around us, and this puts us at a disadvantage. However, if we could learn the essential data and pass a test, we would be much better equipped to gain political knowledge. Existential knowledge of the Bible gives us a good taste for the sacred object we know so fondly.Therefore, knowledge in the spiritual sense must come from our satisfied desire for the object. The reason that spiritual knowledge must come from desire is that there are only so many sacred words that we need to understand correctly. In this way, the Bible is deliberately limited in terms of words. Thus, if God commands us to know the Bible, we will recite the same words over and over again. The Bible is written in such a way that it solicits our creative minds and allows us to relax. The Bible remains the only book in which we can never tire of constant repetition.This is why the book of Proverbs is so precisely written--to externalize God's wisdom and show us how to apply it in our lives. We often think that wisdom is simply a matter of acquiring knowledge, but the Bible Gradually expands our hearts and minds to embrace wisdom more deeply. Therefore, wisdom is described as the most pleasurable woman, because when we start embracing wisdom, we find true enjoyment in it. This is why the gospel doesn't depend on our penitence. We each need to be confident in our ability to grow in Christ and in our religious observance. At the same time, it's in our nature to fully neglect responsible people who have chastened themselves in a much lesser way than we do.We're all deceived by nature. We have little confidence in our internal capacities because we're responsible when our particular vision is inescapably distorted because we're plaintively lacking in the necessary knowledge. What we won't take is to our injury. In this way, the Bible is designedly limited by words. See godly wisdom is personified. Our hearts are fluently captured and gently stretched as we unfeignedly seek Godly verity. This is why we also freely maximum moral axioms.

 When God gave the law, it gave humanity the power to rule over the earth. The law was not just a set of standards to show humanity their sin, but rather a curse for all lawbreakers. If the law did not pronounce death upon offenders, then there would be no need for Christ as humanity's substitution. However, God did not make a sweeping declaration through the Ten Commandments.In other words, God did not simply write each commandment and then add the threat of death as an afterthought. Instead, He wrote each law and then gave the judgement of death for each violation. So the curse was more than just the reason for Christ to be a substitute. It was a legal declaration that was pronounced on anyone who violated that law.Why did God have the same judgement of death for the smallest violation? Because the law was not just the standard of conduct, but it also controlled the unity of creation and of nations. So, you see that God gave blessing in order to save a people as the unity that the curse destroyed. Blessing is always pronounced in the context of a society.In other words, if a person violated God's law, the harm was not just limited to that individual and God. The law is spoken of as a healthy cell in a body. A violation of the law would be the introduction of a foreign cell. So the law enforced unity in the parts of society. God not only gave the curses for the legal right of salvation but to attack the foreign cell. God controlled nations through blessing and cursing.

 The question of whether or not God hates the wicked is a difficult one to answer. The Bible teaches that God cannot look on evil with agreement or pleasure, but this does not necessarily mean that He hates those who do evil deeds. If God was like man, He would be subject to the control of another person and would not have the ability to foresee the future. However, we know that God has decreed everything that we face in life, including the dangers we face and our reaction to those dangers.Because God has determined the attack of the wicked, He does not need to react to our trouble. God not only decreed our trouble, but He decreed the retribution that is necessary in the violation of His law. God responded to the first sin by cursing the creation. So when the Psalmist speaks of God's justice, it is always according to the perfect line of blessing and cursing. Because God has pronounced death on all lawbreakers from the beginning of time, the curses in the Psalms are already spoken by God from eternity past as the pronouncement of death to the wicked.If God has declared that He alone has the right to take vengeance, then He is the only one who is justified in pronouncing death on the wicked. Man is unable to avenge the wicked because we do not fully understand the dangers of sin. We are unable to see the evils of sin in ourselves and we do not have the knowledge of facing the dangers of sin. However, God's view of the evils that we face in this world is much worse than we could imagine. And His protection and care for us is greater than we could ever imagine.If God created man with the freedom to choose his own actions, then man has the potential to destroy the world. God created man with the ability to rule the world. What happens when God's most glorious creature is given a destructive nature? Instead of using his free will to bring glory to God by building a culture of freedom and beauty, man begins to tear society apart and destroy the Earth. This is why God must be severe in His vengeance.

 If God is responsible for the creation of the world, then He is also responsible for the corridor and how they fit together and function. However, if God is autonomous, then He is responsible for all men and all governments. But if God is ruling all effects, then His law must be applied to all effects.If God did not hold all creatures and events accountable to His moral law, He would cease to be just. However, if He did not hold all creatures and events accountable to His moral law, He would only be God in name. Therefore, God must be fully justified at all times.If God did not achieve the outgrowth of all effects before He produced them, He could be unjustified in producing them for His glory. He would not have produced them to unstintingly fulfill the reasonable demands of His law before He reliably produced them. God could not produce a necessary thing without objectively determining the asked end of that thing. If anything was tone determined, God could be unjustified in developing that thing. God had to adequately deal with each thing according to His eternal justice.God privately relates to the godly creation by justifying Himself in price and applicable discipline that's mysterious. Whether each responsible person duly entered godly justice in this word God, justify Himself by always dealing justice to everything. This is why God lowers His justice in freely giving the law and the moral judgements. Man cannot justify himself in acting according to the moral law or being innocently justified in his dealings by the law.The crucial question is whether a person's exclusive rights are deliberately violated in this world due to the sin of injustice. Does this mean that God is not justified in responding to that violation? Or do we only conclude that God, in His sovereignty, will justify that injustice? Has God given man the power to justify injustice innocently? This is why God pronounced us the eternal curses in creative jotting. He delivered us His way of unstintingly justifying the literal injustice and not simply left to the mystery of His justice.

 The Psalmist is distinguishing between his private and public life, and how he approaches each. In this Psalm, he is describing how he learns by speaking the axioms, or truths. He recognises that we are not just in a world filled with danger, but because we have a shallow view of sin and the destruction of evil, we must pronounce God's words in response to the dangers we face. The Psalms are written pronouncements from God's view, which is why the words may be extreme and offensive to us.We need to think carefully about this. We teach that people are not just sinners because they do sinful things, but because they are born unable to see their own sinfulness. The reason we don't think this is dangerous is because we are given an awareness of our own sin, so we assume that other people have the ability to understand their condition. We judge others based on our own experience. We assume that our experience is like theirs. But we are our own worst enemy because we trust too much in this world.Therefore, God needs to bridge the gap between His view of the world and our view by making us aware of the dangers in these extreme curses. The blamelessness the Psalmist is describing is the delight he experiences as he becomes comfortable in speaking the extreme axioms. God made His terrible vengeance clear in the pronouncements attractive to us because He made us like Himself. God wants us to think in these extremes so that we experience His presence.

 God created the perfect world and all its precise contents through pronouncing them into unbiased existence. Therefore, the world used to be fairly developed by way of God's logical axioms. God created the world for perfect mans gracious sake, and tasked man with naming all the precious matters in divine creation. From the opening of time, at that point, man has been producing images of the persona of God's creation. This is why the Psalms absolutely continue to be a sacred book of ordering and reordering creation. There is no social order, the goal fact of dynamic personality, or the direct expression of ethical authority of God's governing of the world that is no longer first devised in mortal minds and described in human speech.Man is predisposed to deliberately producing created images that accord with God's inherent law. Consequently, God precisely judges the aware thoughts and deliberate intentions of the heart, due to the fact if human ideas and operative words have been constantly in accord with the divine law, there would be no evil. If we trade our ideas and operative words, we can appropriate govern our unbiased actions. This is why we are like God when we harbour ideas that are in accord with His.The Psalms are cautiously written in a suited shape of gorgeous speech affectionately regarded as authoritative pronouncements. These authoritative pronouncements have been uniquely designed to assist thoroughly strengthen a cohesive society, enhance our complete view of ourselves, deliver considerable benefits and divine solidarity into our energetic lives, and cautiously foster a greater intimate relationship with God. We do not spend many instances wondering about our particular circumstances, the familiar humans in our perfect world, or our social popularity in the local culture. Preferably, we precise focal point on making wonderful pronouncements.It is good sized to suitable focal point on God's divine advent as we deliberately walk through this best world. All of the special occasions in our energetic lives uniquely signify elaborate creations. We are constantly centered on faithfully recreating the logical axioms to be totally unified. Consequently, the pastime is greater necessary than our social identity. Because social identification is some thing that we are constantly recreating. We care much less about what humans really suppose of us. We are fostering the sacred picture of ourselves that we without a doubt choose others to see. We are normally altering our private view and anyone else's prevailing view

 What God created was the world and everything in it. He created it perfectly and precisely by pronouncing it into existence. Therefore, the world was created perfectly developed by God's logical axioms. For man's gracious sake, God created the world and tasked him with naming all the things in divine creation.What is no longer the case is a social order that is based on the goal of dynamic personality or the direct expression of ethical authority of God's governing of the world. This is no longer the case first devised in mortal minds and described in human speech. Since the beginning of time, man has been creating images of God's creations. This is why the Psalms are such an important and sacred book, as they help us to understand and re-order creation.What man does is deliberately create images that accord with God's inherent law. Consequently, God precisely judges the aware thoughts and deliberate intentions of the heart. This is because if human ideas and operative words were constantly in accord with the divine law, there would be no evil. If we change our ideas and operative words, we can govern our unbiased actions.What this means is that when we have ideas that are in line with what God wants, we are like Him. The Psalms are written in a beautiful, poetic style that is affectionately regarded as authoritative. These authoritative pronouncements have been uniquely designed to help thoroughly strengthen a cohesive society, enhance our complete view of ourselves, and deliver considerable benefits and divine solidarity into our energetic lives. They also carefully foster a greater intimate relationship with God.What's important is not spending time worrying about our particular circumstances, the familiar humans in our perfect world, or our social popularity in the local culture. Instead, we should focus on making wonderful pronouncements. It is important to focus on God's divine advent as we deliberately walk through this best world. All of the special occasions in our energetic lives uniquely signify elaborate creations. We are constantly centered on faithfully recreating the logical axioms to be totally unified.Consequently, it is more necessary to have a pastime than our social identity. This is because social identification is something that we are constantly recreating. We care less about what other people actually think of us and more about fostering the sacred picture of ourselves that we actually want others to see. We are constantly changing our own view and everyone else's existing view.

 What we need most in life is a sense of purpose and fulfillment. We need to know that we are doing something that has meaning and is important. Our identity is something that we must always hold onto. God created every living thing has needs that must be met. We cannot feel whole without understanding our place in the world. So how can we understand we are made and feel wanted? We must find all of our identity in God's creative words. God made us by speaking the axioms. He gave us the axioms in pronouncements because the creator made us creators. Every day a child is born! God creates millions of babies a day. He pronounces the axioms every day.It is important for us to understand how to create. We need the communication that tells us our purpose and gives us words we pronounce so we receive illumination. God knows us better than anyone because He created us. He gave us eternal pronouncements so we could rule over the earth.He gave us the most pleasurable way to communicate in pronouncing our rule over the earth. God wants us to create our own baby in commanding Him.

 If we are not taught the language of the heart by God, we develop an image of a person that is not entirely accurate. So even though we think that the Psalmist is being judgmental and mean, the truth is the Psalmist has no authority to pronounce a curse according to what he thinks about a person based on the legal arguments in the Psalms. Only God has the right to take vengeance. This leaves us completely neutral in our judgments because the curses kill our desire to judge.We are trying to put ourselves in a position where we can be judged by God. We believe that we deserve to be cursed because we are blessed, and those who are cursed are without hope. We both share in a total inability to change our situation.And in this understanding we have pronounced the line of cursing and blessing. We believe that God is glory and we have given them a little rest in acknowledging their hopelessness and the need for God. In this way we have a heart to heart relationship.

 To you, O God of Jacob, we pray. You have taught us to use the means of faith, but we come to you in prayer because we do not trust in the means. God has created all things by speaking them into existence. This same God is able to unify the entire world by speaking a word. We always understand that we are coming to a God who loves to hear His law, covenants, curses, promises, decrees, and statutes. The axioms contain the personalities of all men and our renewal by the pronouncements. God defines our world, contains it, and recreates it. David is looking up and God is looking down. Prayer is a face-to-face encounter.We are born into a world that is full of shame and suffering. God cursed everything after He created it, and the Psalmist needs to be protected by God from all the problems that exist. The problem is we do not naturally act according to our identity. This is why God recreates us instead of using moral confrontation and force. We are looking for God to change us by force, but God teaches us who we are and we begin to act according to that image. We are related to God who created the world by word to reality. So God does not need anything outside of Himself to recreate us. He does not need trials to recreate us.It is not our place to think we force God to change by causing trouble. God does not need anything from outside of Himself – He is perfectly satisfied and content with Himself. He has the power to do whatever He pleases, without needing to be coerced. So the Psalmist teaches us we can be shielded from the shame of the world by adhering to the axioms – eternal pronouncements that protect us from the negative consequences of the curse.The axioms can be seen as statements that address anything that opposes us. We simply make our defense by pronouncing these axioms. he finds refuge in God, using these statements to address the attack of the opposition. You see, God does not help us from some mysterious position; God comes to earth through word to make things real.

 If I were to pray to God and say that I need help but I know that sometimes shame is necessary, would I be acknowledging that I live in God's kingdom? If God has created the earth, do you think He would be distant in responding to its evils? How can God give man the authority over creation and then fail in governing it? This would not only show that God's word is not dependable, but also that He does not care for His prized creation. However, God's word and care are on display precisely BECAUSE HE IS GOD and it's His creation!When the Psalmist speaks of God's responsibility for governing the world, they are always speaking in absolute terms. We are not praying on the foundation that we are left by God to deal with a world that opposes God, but rather we are pronouncing the terms of the creation covenant. By doing so, we are reestablishing our authority on the earth in covenant with God!Although there may be those on earth whose words are like gold, they are not human. We must come to grips with the fact that we exist within a timeline that is controlled by a Being who exists outside of time. This Being is not restricted by anything that is bound by the constraints of time. Would we be able to respect a God who was not able to complete His work due to the limitations of this world? If He is sovereign, do you think He would give us His word with the same restrictions? Absolutely not! The axioms are eternal pronouncements from God that cannot be thwarted.

 Psa 25:6 Remember, O LORD, your great mercy and love, for they are from of old.7 Remember not the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways; according to your love remember me, for you are good, O LORD. This request is fascinating. If you don't believe the Psalmist is thinking in terms of his power crossing over into timelessness, this will prove the existence of eternal powers in the axioms. He is not asking God just to forget his youthful rebellion, but he is acting as the new covenant creator. When he asks God to remember, he is asking to reshape the history in men's minds. God doesn't have a memory based in time. Man's memory is constrained in time and is present in the images of mind. The Psalmist is not only asking God to overlook his sinful rebellion, but to recreate it so men forget.It is through our pronouncing of eternity that we gain control over time. By speaking eternal words that transcend our understanding, we create new images that encompass the entire world. We are speaking about the thoughts and desires of men in all parts of the earth in these eternal powers in response to those thoughts. In our pronouncing we are controlling the world that is beyond our dwelling. And yet God decides how He responds to the eternal pronouncements.God has created all things and ordered them in a reasonable way according to the axioms. God behaves with the axioms in these two attributes of love and faithfulness, righteousness and truth, etc. These twins are a metaphor for God's presence in the fire and cloud when He guided them safely to their inheritance.The Psalmist declares that these twins are the agents of the axioms that bring unity and salvation to his experience. God  pronounced, so we are encouraged.  in an absolute sense our imaginations are aroused to experience the pleasure of God's response as a covenant-keeping God.

 I appreciate the Psalmist's perspective that there is a difference between practicing selflessness and hating oneself; the latter of which can occur when we let our opposition triumph over us. I believe that this is an important distinction to make, as it highlights the fact that our salvation was obtained by God, who is proving the worth of His work through our success. This is not to say that God is long-suffering, but rather that He does not curse Himself to prove His point.Thus, the Psalms teach us that we can overcome opposition by cursing the curse. In other words, we would give up anything for God's glory to be on display. We are always being blessed by God through our rule in the axioms that we value the power and authority over the things of this earth. A man who deserts his post as a soldier is a traitor. So we must save ourselves in order to save others.The Psalmist is always asking God for protection, because if he were to die, he would no longer be able to proclaim the truths of the faith. In this eternal relationship with God, we experience the highest pleasure and overcome the strongest foes. God promises to give us spiritual gifts, which are limitless. We are always being drawn into the covenant agreement so that we share in all of these eternal things. We would never stop proclaiming the truths of the faith.7 according to your love remember me, for you are good, O LORD." 

The Psalmist is praying to God to be transformed on the inside. God has promised to be close to us because of His covenant promises. God does not want us to act as if we are not upset when we are burdened. Let me give you some advice from praying the axioms. Never keep your troubles to yourself. You must tell God exactly what you are experiencing. our experience is on words.He deals with the inward troubles that prevent us from feeling connected to others. We are social beings and need to feel connected to thrive. When we don't feel connected to anyone, we experience loneliness. Even when we are surrounded by people, we can still feel disconnected. The second problem is experiencing inward troubles that weigh us down. We become a magnet for outward troubles and they pile up in us, we feel like we are going to explode. It may be physical or emotional pain.The third issue that we face is our guilt from sin. The Psalmist always complains about emotional and physical pain first, and then guilt and sin. Our troubles always turn our eyes inward, so we start dwelling on our past mistakes. The last thing is the people who give us trouble. And if we are lonely and guilty, it seems that people start piling on. However, in describing our troubles to God, He will listen. God wants us to experience wholeness of body, mind, and soul. The Psalms are written to create unity and wholeness in our lives. If we do not feel like we control the world, we need the pronouncements to help us feel more centered.

 God loves His creation because He loves righteousness and justice. God always directs His love towards justifying His purposes. If God loved anything outside of Himself, that thing or person would be part of the reason God loves them. But God's love is not founded on the worthiness of the object. So God's reasons for loving anything outside of Himself are based on His love for Himself. This is why God is free to choose what He loves.If God loved an object because of the object's own merits, then He would need to lower His standard of righteousness. And if He lowered His standard, He would need to judge the object on a sliding scale. If He loved by adjusting judgements, He would cease to be God. It is for our good and God's glory He is free to love who He chooses not based on anything outside of Himself. We know when God speaks there is nothing outside of Himself that can thwart His word. This is why God has given us His word in absolute pronouncements. God must love us by acting according to His word without being thwarted.

 lit. In my grief I cried out to Yah - Yahweh has become my salvation and Yahweh has answered me. So the psalmist teaches that the ultimate experience of freedom is winning the war. The practical event of war is exercised in the curse.God created all things and gave man the rulers of the earth.In response to the rebellion in the garden, God cursed all creation. However, through pronouncements that cannot be thwarted, God has reestablished humanity's ability to control the earth.The Psalmist uses the metaphor of the rising of the ocean waves to describe the struggle with the opposition. He pronounces the law in order to present his complaint of the wicked nations and speaks the curse as God's anger is expressed in rising up like the waves of the sea. This is why his wish to fight and overcome the nation's is expressed in asking God to rise up.The Psalmist is teaching that, in contrast to the pagan gods who respond to curses by becoming weaker, Yahweh the God of Israel becomes stronger when He rises up in response to curses. This experience of freedom is the highest form of spiritual empowerment that a Christian can experience. The Psalmist praises Yahweh for making him strong-willed.There is a sense by experience that we are seeking God in the pronouncements that He seeks us. We are drawn into conflict with the opposition which we are made desperate to experience Jah. We are rising up in the pronouncements until we have Yah. We experience freedom.

 If God created the world according to His laws, covenants, curses, decrees, promises, and statutes, He must also create the desire in humans to understand and give God glory for His works. So we live in God's garden, where everything in the world must be redeemed. The Psalmist teaches, "My heart says, seek His face. Your face I will seek." When we meditate on the axioms, we learn to ponder on God's works.The author of the Psalms pauses to reflect on the fact that God is the cause of everything that happens in the world. He realizes that his own life is a story of redemption, made possible by God's grace.Everything that he has done was caused by God. As he makes meditation a discipline, he is drawn into seeing everything through recreation of the axioms.He not only provides everything we need, but causes us to reflect on His works. The truth is not found in the events, but understanding we gain when we contemplate the axioms. 111:2 Great are the works of the LORD; they are contemplated by all who take pleasure in them". We were designed to spend our lives observing the world through the lens of the axioms. People who do not live in this way may think we have wasted our lives in meditation. However, since we live in a history of redemption, we are reminded we were made for God, since He is the ruler and governor of this world.The Psalmist answers the question how we survive if we spend all of our time pondering the works of God. They suggest that we can be depended on when we are seeking to ponder God's works. They ask if we are wise in using our time pondering the history of redemption.The first question we must answer is "How are we related to this world?" The Psalmist is teaching the world is a majestic display of God's works. we are dependent on the creation to understand ourselves.God made us part of a greater diversity that depends on one another for unity. Our views of the future are never completely correct because we are afraid of being dependent on parts that have been cursed. We must learn to push the curse down in our trials, and see the future for what it is: a series of interconnected parts we cannot control. Since history is redemptive, God must turn it upside down. This means the things of the world are taken away from the owners. "He has shown his people the power of his works, giving them the lands of other nations." God is keeping a daily record of saints completely dependent on Him enough to wait for everything. We are always tempted to trust in our own ability. But if we see the world behind the glass, we will learn to depend on God by being in awe of His masterpiece.

 The question at hand is how God can be both just and faithful to His people if He is constantly moving history through redemption. One could argue that God is being unfair by taking back the riches of this world and turning the world upside down, but God is actually being just and faithful by doing so. Reason being, every single person in the world is completely dependent upon God and will therefore have to face His eternal justice.All humans are silenced before God because He is justified and does not lower His standards to act redemptively. Since the wicked become rich through theft, God must always be justified in His response. The Psalmist is not saying that God's justice is mysterious. Rather, this justice has been revealed to saints through the words that the world mocks.The author of the Psalm is responding to the difficult situation that the nation of God's people find themselves in. They are being treated unjustly by the rest of the world and the wicked are ignoring God's laws. By ignoring and cursing God, they are inviting His righteous judgement upon themselves. As God's people recite the curses that are written down, they are storing up judgement for the wicked. The people of God are victims of the wicked who are stealing from them.God has created all things and governs the earth through His providence, kindly providing for all of man's needs. God, who is free, has given man the freedom to rule the earth through His word. Instead of pronouncing God's ruling ability, the wicked misuse God's gifts in an unjust way. Because God rules the world through His word to creation, He has restored man's authority in pronouncing His justice in the law and in pronouncing His curses. The Psalmist is ruling over the wicked in this pronouncement.Psa 111:7 The works of his hands are faithful and just; all his precepts are trustworthy 8 They are steadfast for ever and ever, done in faithfulness and uprightness."

The curse that God placed on creation was necessary in order to prevent the pain caused by sin from ruining humanity. Acute pain can be incredibly overwhelming and destructive, leading to feelings of guilt, fear, and sorrow. By enacting His vengeance through the brutal death of Christ, God ensured that the curse would be eternal, preventing saints from ever again experiencing eternal pain and suffering caused by sin. We have the remnants of the curse which causes us to feel overwhelming guilt, etc. However, our dying remnants are still able to attend to God's activity of taking vengeance.He reasonably achieves by means of irreversible, eternal pronouncements. The eternal nature of gracious gifts to us gives God the exclusive right to enact divine vengeance. We experience God's eternal vengeance vicariously when we pronounce. Man's ability to faithfully represent God enables him to pronounce all ability. This ability must be renewed regularly.

 I do not believe that we can take scripture out of its context. The bible describes a way of life, and if we try to remove it from its context, we risk losing its meaning. For example, if I am a carpenter and I decide that I do not need a foundation for my building, it may look wonderful at first, but eventually the first big wind will come and my work will come crashing down. This is the way the bible is written – it is one building block upon another. The prophet was pronouncing judgement upon the nation of Israel, not upon God's elect.I would never use the word "destroy" in the context of a Christian because it means that evil has triumphed over good. To be destroyed is to be cursed in the biblical context, and there is never a time when we should suffer to the point of hopelessness. The bad things we suffer only motivate us to rise up to God's anger over our personal anger. In rising up to God's anger, we push our anger down. That scar that we have from the emotional abuse or the spiritual sorrow becomes a universal desire for God to pronounce cursing or blessing as soon as possible.There may be forces at work that are beyond our ability to control or understand, but that doesn't mean that God isn't listening to us. As he says to the rich, "do not abuse the poor or when they call out, I will judge you." There is never a time when we will be abandoned or left without hope. We may need to wait until the judgement day, but we will be repaid. I know there are things that I have prayed about for years before they are answered. The constant petitioning is like building muscle. I can honestly say there was only one time in my life when I suffered and felt beyond hope.I have found that in all of my other trials, I have been very close to God and have received wisdom beyond my wildest dreams. I have never had a bad experience that I have not used for my benefit in learning how to judge before I do it in the judgement. I find that the worse abuse gains us the most benefits in God's eyes. To be destroyed is to be without hope. I never wish any of my brothers to perish. I do not want any man to perish but sometimes it is better for my personal condition to overcome anger through God's judgements.I find that, compared to my own imagination, God is always better; but, compared to my worst sorrow, God is much worse. When I pray, I want to be allowed the future success of Christianity, and for God to destroy destructive behavior. So I demand absolute judgement in order to see the uncommon unity of Christians. I never want to use words out of the biblical context.

 When discussing the concept of perishing, it is generally in the context of unbelievers. The Psalms contain many pronouncements of curses upon the wicked, because they have set up idols. Here, the Prophet is pronouncing a curse upon the priest. This shows that a man who is lacking in the knowledge of God will attempt to redefine and explain away the existence of God. The Prophets were men who received special revelation from God and pronounced the coming judgement upon Israel.The knowledge of God cannot be understood by the unenlightened man.  it must be implanted by God. Divine knowledge comes through God's creation to recreation, or vice versa. The unenlightened man does not acknowledge God as his creator. He has no desire to seek after God.When a man is saved, he is essentially reborn. He gains knowledge in the same way that a plant grows from a seed - through being fed and nurtured. The natural man does not have the seed of God implanted within him. The process of implantation is how we determine what a man desires.The natural man is one who has not been exposed to or had the opportunity to receive the word of God, and as a result, is in a state of spiritual peril. They are like the chaff that is blown away by the wind, or like plants that wither and die. We describe the natural man as having no desire for God.What does the average person think in their heart? They say there is no God. Not only is the average person at odds with God, but they don't even acknowledge God's existence. They seek to establish themselves as a god. The most dangerous position in this world is for someone to not know that God is watching. People by nature will not acknowledge that God is in control. God has established His government on this earth through His word. Every word of God is a creative word.God cannot be thwarted in His plans. He will always establish His word because He is in control from His throne. His throne is the source of everything that He has decreed. No man can mock God and get away with it. He is the absolute judge at all times. He is absolutely just at all times. God has already fulfilled all the curses and established all of the blessing. A natural man believes that he can remove God from His throne. God establishes His rule by a continuous decree to upend all of the natural mans desires. In the end, the natural man's desires will come to nothing. He will perish in judgement.Gods justice refers to the line between blessing and cursing. There is no middle ground or gray area. We reach for that line because God has given us enough guidance and pronouncements so that we can be a part of His perfect recreation of good over evil. We do not have the ability to distinguish between good and evil on our own; we must seek to justify Gods ends. We have no right to question Gods pronouncements because He is always right in His judgement and always just in His blessings for His people.A person who has been newly saved understands a few key facts about salvation. Because this person understands a few key facts, he or she is declared to be just. The few facts that he or she understands are equal to understanding all the facts of salvation, because God implants His word in the spirit of all the words. God gives the new believer the Spirit of God.Even though the new believer is uninformed and naive, they are still looked upon by God as completely righteous. Once a man is implanted with God's word and Spirit, they cannot be a wild branch. They are given the desire to grow, and this desire is like the power that raised Christ from the dead. It cannot be thwarted.The prophet was pronouncing judgement not upon God's elect, but upon the nation of Israel as a whole.

 I am well-versed in doctrine and can tell which side believes what. I am a Calvinist and can only speak for myself. I have disagreements with every person in some areas, but I do not make decisions based on emotion or feeling. I observe the doctrinal position and it is enough to understand what a person does by practice. No one can deny himself on his own. He must be given the ability by God. No one comes into the Christian life with an understanding of self denial. He must be drawn by God to a rest that is uncommon.The rest that God offers cannot be replicated elsewhere; it can only be accessed through the Word and the Holy Spirit. This rest is not available to anyone who is burdened by worry, anxiety, fear, and sorrow. I am not saying that these negative emotions never appear, but rather that someone who is struggling with doubt will also struggle with self-denial. However, anyone who is confident in God's love will be able to rise above self-denial, just as someone who climbs a rock. Remember, though, that self-denial cannot be accomplished through human strength alone.First, because no one is able to access the spiritual drug of peace on his own, we must use medication to achieve rest. However, this is only a partial remedy. When we rest, we experience peace that is past our understanding. The Christian life is not simply a change in doing, but rather its being transformed by word and Spirit. We must have a transformed mind, because the mind controls the heart. Some of the most obnoxious people have trained themselves to live their lives according to a list of things. If they accomplish that list, then they believe God likes them. If they fail, then they believe God is angry at them. This list-based approach is not self-denial. Self-denial is finding God's rest.The idea of salvation as a gift from God is central to many religions. This gift of salvation is not a warning to those who seek it, but only to those who do not understand or know they have it. How foolish it would be to condemn oneself if one is aware of their sin. Even if one is aware of their sin because it was taught to them, it is still in their best interest to apply grace to themselves. If you are always troubled by a lack of assurance, there will be no hope of self denial.If you do not change your ways, you will only end up fighting against yourself. You have not yet accepted the true Christian lifestyle and are instead still trying to live according to your own terms. This goes against self-denial, which is an important part of the Christian lifestyle. God will turn your life upside down if you do not change your ways. NO ONE can be saved by their own self-denial and NO ONE can keep their salvation by their own self-denial.

 I believe that we cannot come to Christ on our own and that we cannot live the Christian life on our own. I also believe that we cannot fulfill our Christian obligations without the help of God. Some people might argue that the bible has commands that imply we have a part in our Christian growth, but my question is: does the bible intend to say that because there are commands, this means that we have a role in our Christian development?I always consult scripture when trying to understand the context of a particular passage. The question is, what does scripture teach is the only tool by which we can be sanctified? Paul says to mortify the flesh by word and Spirit. I do not believe the apostle is saying that we need to have a specific scriptural answer for every situation in our lives. He is saying that we must learn scripture so that we know how to apply it. So the apostle is saying that scripture not only tells us what we are to do, but it also opens up the causes and ends of doing something.It is not accurate to say that the scripture is merely a handbook on how to incorporate Christian principles into one's life. Rather, it provides an explanation of who we are and how we can be transformed into that image. The question then becomes: if we do not obey, is it too simplistic to say that we are not willing to obey? The scripture does not just offer us a choice, but it teaches us how to think, empowers us to live in Christ's power, and gives us a healthy disposition. So if we are given new life, does this mean that we have the power to obey without depending on God?The scripture provides us with an explanation of who we are, in order to help us discern what is true and what is false about ourselves. So there is a strong assertion made by God, which we can rely on. When I say that every word of scripture is a legal word, I mean that everything that God has said must be given careful consideration.If a commandment from God is not followed, it has no legal authority over anything. This means that there is no room for interpretation when it comes to following God's commands – either we meet the highest standard that is acceptable to God, or we will be punished. There is no middle ground with God.This is why we believe that we need a complete substitute. The idea of a substitute is not a crutch that we can turn to, but a legally binding transaction that has been stamped with a seal. See, if we believed that we are able to obey then we would not really believe we need a substitute. The very definition of a substitute is the He takes our place and meets the demands of the law. My point is that the idea of substitution is not a crutch that we can turn to. Its a legally binding transaction that has been stamped with a seal.When we say that we obey Christ because he met the demands of the law, we are actually prosecuting all other methods of meeting those demands. We are demanding justice, and in this sense, God's word is not a manual but a rock that we stand on, even though we do not keep the law on our own in the legal sense. However, God must be absolutely just at all times, so substitution is too wonderful for us to imagine.
