Summer is over- The boys are in school and its my first time to blog in a while. I was riding bikes with my boys– 2 days ago. I asked Paul – What is the definition of a Godly man? He answered Dad– a Man is 1) A spiritual leader 2) a real man accepts responsibility, 3) a real man is courageous 4) a real man expects God to do great things in his life. (It is the working definition I have taught my boys). It is something I wish I could have understood when I was young. I hope to blog on these 4 areas over the next few days. The Word of God’s power and the power of His Word are perhaps seen nowhere more clearly than in Psalm 119. Blessed are those who keep his testimonies, who seek him with their whole heart. The Psalmist declares that blessed, or happy, is the wan who keeps the Word. If a person is depressed or defeated, it is usually because he is not in the Word. I will praise you with an upright heart, when I learn your righteous rules. Psalm 119:7 Who will praise the Lord fervently? The one who learns his righteous judgments, His Word. Reading the Bible allows you to discover the nature, the character, and the goodness of God, which creates a heart overflowing with praise. How can a young man keep his way pure? Psalm 119: 9-11 The only way for a young man to cleans his ways is to be in the Word. I will meditate on your precepts and fix my eyes on your ways. I will delight in your statutes; I will not forget your word. Keep reading your bible. Keep studying the scriptures. Your life will be held together to the extent that you are in the Word.
