Moral Purity: A promise of faithfullness to the Lord Posted 9/6/2009

This morning I picked up my Bible and asked the Lord to allow me to hear His word. To hear what He wanted me to do. How he wanted me to live. I told Him that I did not want to live as others of the world nor live up to their expectations or mine but to His. As I child and as an adult I suffered through many things that still effect my life today. My flesh struggles at times of knowing what to do with the pull of desire and emotions. What do we do with those emotions, those feelings?
Before opening my Bible the Lord laid on my heart Psalms 101. The title before the Psalm is “Promised Faithfulness To The Lord”. It is a Psalm of promise to the Lord to be pure, to behave wisely, to walk within my house with a perfect heart, to not set anything wicked before my eyes. I knew the Lord had lead me to this verse. I then remembered that on Friday during prayer a friend had suggested that I read Psalm 91. The heading to this Psalm is “Safety of Abiding in the Presence of God. His promises to those who abide under the shadow of the Almighty. When I make the Lord my dwelling place no evil shall befall me, no plague shall come near me and His angels will keep me in all my way. When I turned on my computer I received the Spanish word for the day through Spanishdict.com. It is “el sentimiento” meaning feeling, emotion. The other message I received was “ Love Worth Finding”. The scripture verse was James 1:2-4 My brethren count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you my be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. The question was what does God want of you? The answer is that He wants us to experience the fullness of Christ. The other question was, “What are you struggling with?” Suggestion, “Give it to Jesus and trust in His timing and His provisions”
I believe these are all things that He would have us to focus on. I know it is for me. He just told me so.
