Do I live according to principle or according to passion? Start looking at the value of something and what it gives God. This starts with communion.
v.1 Why did you go talk to who you talk to? v. 2.- remembrance and meditate are similar- you think about what God does. His law- in Psalms 1 he gives a principle of what we should think about- what we should delight about. We don’t want to fit God to our passions but let him and his word be our passions. People say that I am unhappy. Are you unhappy because you are not delighting in God’s word. Would you rather be happy but ungodly at the same time? All the “whys”- “why do I have to do this or that”. What if God was saying, “why did I have to die for you?”? You should be thinking about God’s word everyday. This will make you a stronger person- it will help you psychologically and physically.
When you think about what you are supposed to think about and remember the things that you are supposed to then the dividends will pay off. When you think about God’s love toward us it makes us stronger. Do you meditate on the word day and night? You will always have God close.Be what you are supposed to be when you are supposed to be it- 20/20 is not good. Psalm 1:3 – do you have dry spots in your life? His leaf also shall not wither. Some people do not have it everyday- they don’t have it all together. God died because he wanted to have a relationship with us. Psalm 1:2 -whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
1 Corinthians 11:23-31 Take communion seriously.
