Greetings;
Today I am writing from Bellingham. Last week was tough. My son Aaron, daughter in law Amani, grandson Kaden, and granddaughter Zaria have all moved to Nevada as part of their journey in life. Bonnie and I are so proud and blessed to have such amazing people as part of our family. Losing them from Bellingham is hard, but necessary in the plan of God for their lives. I am already planning trips to Nevada. I miss my peoples!
I have been writing concerning spiritual truths for us all to find satisfaction as human men and women as sons and daughters of God. God is the one who gives life, breath, and all things. We are to be those who live with a testimony of His character, nature, way, power, and authority in all things.
Psalms 19:7 The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple; 8 the statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes; 9 the fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. 10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. 11 Moreover by them Your servant is warned, and in keeping them there is great reward.
God’s judgments bring great reward. In keeping them there is great reward. That reward is like fine gold and fresh honey. They are a treasure of God’s character and a testimony of His life-giving energy from within. It is valuable and desirable. What are God’s judgments? God’s judgments are His righteous conclusions, decisions, and boundaries. God’s conclusions are better than ours. To find great reward we must be empowered to trust His conclusions, decisions, and boundaries more than we trust our own desired conclusions, decisions, or definition of boundaries in life.
Knowing the love of God converts our thoughts, reasoning, imaginations, emotions and desires. His presence transforms the rooms of our lives and enables us to step from today into our tomorrow. Embracing His commissions causes our hearts to rejoice as we willingly walk our own path of destiny. Choosing to live according to His ordinances enlightens our eyes to see what we could not understand before. An awe for who He is makes us pure and enduring.
Choosing to embrace His conclusions, decisions, and boundaries as valuable and desirable in our lives will gives us great rewards. When these things become the reality of our lives we find that our iniquities, our internal flaws, are transformed by the power of His grace. We will find that even our external rebellion is transformed by the power of His love. These things will no longer rule our lives. Our internal weaknesses and external rebellion will no longer have dominion over our lives. We become transformed and we become like our heavenly Father. We become innocent within and what comes off of us in life will bring life to our worlds.
Psalms 19:12-14 Who can understand his errors? Cleanse me from secret faults. Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me. Then I shall be blameless, and I shall be innocent of great transgression. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.
God gives us His life from within. The kingdom of God is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit within our hearts. Satisfaction is found through and inner change in our lives. God is our God, we are His people, and we live with Him in all things. The internal kingdom of God is affecting the outward workings of the kingdoms of our lives!
I want to be like You when, and as, I grow up Father. Heal my iniquities. Stop me from doing wrong when I already know it is wrong anyway. Don’t let my internal flaws or my external rebellions have dominion over me. Change me, inside and out! Let my thoughts and my expressions be as Yours.
- Save my soul – Grant me life-giving thoughts, strategies, desires, emotions, and imaginations
- Make me whole – Give me a testimony that makes me wise in simplicity
- Make me full – Cause my heart to be glad
- Make me see – Enlighten me from within to see as You see
- Make me strong – Make me pure and enduring
- Make my life rewarding – Cause me to desire, seek, and embrace Your conclusions, decisions and boundaries
Blessings,
Ted J. Hanson
