"Countries are often caught in the same snares they have devised for others, becoming ensnared in the repercussions of their own decisions. Their decline is a result of their own actions, drawing them into a complex situation of their own creation." This Psalm underscores the significance of aligning our aspirations with those of God in order to attain the eternal kingdom beyond the constraints of time. When we encounter obstacles in our desires, it reflects our own limitations in achieving success independently. This idea is often disregarded in today's practical society. The Psalms portray God's comprehensive involvement in accomplishing His objectives, revealing His sanctity. God perceives all moments simultaneously and ensures the fulfillment of His desires as outlined in His laws and agreements. Even when our desires are obstructed, previous desires are consistently redefined in the present to harmonize with God's overarching plan and manifest His sanctity. Whether stemming from past experiences of anger or joy, God never overlooks our desires and endeavors to fulfill them within the broader context of His intentions.
There is a belief that God forgives our sins by completely erasing them from existence, as if they never occurred. Many people view forgiveness as a means of healing and believe that forgetting is essential for this process. However, this perspective is flawed as humans naturally remember their past actions and experiences. To suggest that we can simply forget is to overlook the reality of human nature. Those seeking forgiveness should acknowledge the consequences of their actions and accept any legal consequences. It is common for individuals to distort biblical teachings to suit their own desires. Our past experiences shape our present desires, and we have a divine obligation to fulfill God's perfect plan. The teachings in the Psalm stress the importance of using past experiences, whether positive or negative, as motivation for future success. This has been a recurring theme in my teachings for quite some time. It is not about forgetting or denying our past, but rather utilizing our experiences as a driving force for personal growth and accomplishment.
The teaching of Revelation reveals the process by which our prayers are received by God in heaven, transformed into judgments upon the earth. The Psalmist similarly suggests that past anger can be channeled in a righteous manner to achieve freedom and success in the present. Reflecting on past emotions and experiences, whether positive or negative, can enhance our drive to overcome obstacles and witness God's salvation. This perspective allows us to view events from an eternal standpoint, where our actions and desires are constantly in God's presence. By utilizing both positive and negative desires, we can strengthen our determination to surmount challenges and reap the blessings of God.
