Shade Tree Wisdom 3/16/13

          Psalm 119 begins this way:
              “Blessed are they whose ways are blameless,
               Who walk according to the law of the Lord. V.1
               You have laid down precepts
               That are to be fully obeyed.v.4
               Oh that my ways were steadfast
               In obeying your decrees.” V. 5

          Then
               I will obey Your decrees,
               Do not utterly forsake me”.

          And yet, and yet, the Christian who prays so earnestly falls in spite of what he thinks and prays and resolves.

          Why does this happen? It happens because man is a sinner, and he is constantly under the gun of temptations laid before him by the evil one.

          So we must and do pray, study, steep ourselves in the Word of Promise, and that never fails. We know Satan is always active. The Bible tells us that. Temptations come constantly. So The Lord give us this Book, and His gracious promises. Use the Book regularly, trust His promises implicitly, always live as the child who can say, “I have been baptized.”

          God bless you His Child.
