The Book of Psalms Chapter 19 V- 10 and 12

10 The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever. The statutes of the LORD are true, all of them just; 11 More desirable than gold, than a hoard of purest gold, Sweeter also than honey or drippings from the comb. 12 By them your servant is warned; obeying them brings much reward.

Psalm 19:10-12 beautifully captures the richness of God's Word and its transformative power in our lives. The verses declare that God's statutes are more desirable than gold and sweeter than honey, emphasizing the immense value of His teachings. For nearly two decades, my surrender to this divine truth has profoundly shaped my life.

In embracing His Word, I have discovered a life infused with love, faith, and hope—a triad that anchors my existence. Love, the greatest commandment, guides my interactions with others, fostering relationships that reflect compassion and grace. Faith empowers me to trust in God's promises, even in uncertain times, assuring me that His plans for my life are good. Hope, rooted in the Salvation offered through Christ, propels me forward, reminding me that every day is an opportunity to live out His purpose.

Moreover, my journey has been marked by a deep sense of purpose and passion. Understanding that I am created with intention allows me to engage fully with the world around me. I pursue my passions not just as personal interests but as avenues to glorify God and serve others. This sense of direction is a gift from His Word, which illuminates my path like a lamp in the darkness.

Finally, the peace of righteousness that envelops my life is a profound reward. It is a peace that transcends circumstances, grounded in the assurance of His love and grace. As I navigate life's challenges, I am reminded that His statutes provide clarity and wisdom, guiding my choices and actions.

In summary, the truths found in Psalm 19:10-12 reflect my journey of faith, illustrating how the surrender to God's Word has led to a life rich in love, faith, hope, purpose, passion, and peace. Amen.

Join me as we pray our daily prayer of forgiveness. The Lord’s Prayer.

At the Savior's command and formed by divine teaching, we dare to say:

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Deliver us, Lord, we pray, from every evil, graciously grant peace in our days, that, by the help of your mercy, we may be always free from sin and safe from all distress, as we await the blessed hope and the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ. For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.

I am sorry Lord. I believe You died and rose for me. Please forgive me as I forgive others. I share You as my Lord and Savior seeking to live your Will in all things. Prayers for wife Toni and my mother Betty pray for our children especially our two oldest Alexandra & Allen Son in Law Mark Stern; Julian, Gabriel and Jeffrey and our grandchildren Oliver, Julian and Elliott. We pray for those we’ve said we’d pray for and those who’ve asked us to pray for them. We pray for the dying as we do each day Lord give them peace in their last breath. We pray for Holy Mother Church. Our prayers for our niece Brittany. In Jesus Precious Blood by His Name we pray. Amen.

Ephesians 6:17-20

10-28-2024 Psalm 19 V-1012

**Sweeter Than Honey**

More precious than the finest gold,

Your words, O Lord, a truth to behold.

Sweeter than honey on my tongue,

In every line, Your love is sung.

Your statutes guide my weary soul,

In their embrace, I find my whole.

With each command, my heart takes flight,

In Your wisdom, darkness turns to light.

They warn me of the path that's wrong,

And in their light, I grow so strong.

Forgive my faults, my hidden sin,

For in Your grace, I am renewed within.

A treasure chest of love and grace,

Your teachings lead me to Your face.

In purpose, passion, peace, I stand,

Held by the promise of Your hand.

O Lord, my reward, my greatest prize,

In You, I find my hope that never dies.

With every step, I seek to know

The depths of love that You bestow.

So let my heart, like gold, refine,

In Your statutes, may my spirit shine.

For in Your Word, I find my rest,

In all my days, I am truly blessed. Amen.
