“Blessed

Psalm 128:1-4

Intr.:

are all

1.  who fear the LORD,

2.  who walk in his ways.

3.  You will eat the fruit of your labour;

4.  blessings and prosperity will be yours.

5.  Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house;

6.  your sons will be like olive shoots around your table.

End:

Thus is the man blessed who fears the LORD.”

“LEARNING is a TREASURE…”

Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere.”

That said a little poster I saw today in our big shop here in KAITAIA that sells books and stationery.

There are many textbooks and I have studied a good number during my lifetime in German, English and Thai, but I have learned that there is but one textbook and that is the BIBLE.

The author of the Bible is God the Holy Spirit.

What is the source book of our knowledge of God? It is the Bible!  What is the textbook of divine truth? It is the Bible! What is the guide book to everlasting life? It is the Bible! What is the oldest book in existence? It is the Bible!

And this is very important:

I believe what Alban Douglas writes in his book ONE HUNDRED BIBLE LESSONS on page 91:

“THE BIBLE DOES NOT CONTAIN THE WORD OF GOD; THE BIBLE IS THE WORD OF GOD.”

My treasure will follow me into eternity, because “‘HEAVEN AND EARTH WILL PASS AWAY, BUT MY WORDS WILL NEVER PASS AWAY, ‘” says the Lord Jesus Christ. You can read that in the BIBLE in the gospel of Matthew, chapter six, verse thirtyfive.

Where will your treasure follow you?

AFFLICTION

About in the middle of Psalm 119 we are reading three times about affliction.  

The Psalmist speaks about affliction in the verses 67, 71 and 75.

1.  Psalm 119:67

“Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now  I obey your word.”

2.  Psalm 119:71

“It was good for me to be afflicted so that I might learn your decrees.” Read also the next verse! 

3. Psalm 119:75

“I know, O LORD, that your laws are righteous, and in faithfulness you have afflicted  me.”
