Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight. Psalm 119:35
Before I was saved I fed off of the table of the world's philosophies. The table was filled with authors and musicians, as well as Hollywood actors, directors and producers. I bought albums, tickets, books, magazines, videos and into the words, thoughts and philosophies of the worldly fare. I took in movies, sitcoms and concerts. Since being saved I look back now and realize that all of these things was the celebration of sadness, sin, sensuality, a false sense of hope and too much violence. What stands out to me now is that the belief and philosophy of all of these teaches a life where there is no God. I was so deep into all of these that after I was saved and began hearing God's Word preached and taught I was completely floored at how wrong I had been about so much.
I often write about how grateful I am for God's mercy and grace. When I look back and remember just how dead I was in my trespasses and sins and how deep I was into the world and it's thinking my heart nearly explodes with joy and thanksgiving. I Praise God For His Word leading me, teaching me, shaping me and guiding me like a compass on a long hike in unknown territory. With each passing day my gratitude seems to pick up more and more momentum as I consider my salvation and the price that the Lord Jesus paid in the saving of my soul.
Romans 5:6-11 blesses my heart more and more with each passing day!
For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement. Romans 5:6-11
