Meditating on Scripture
Positive Christianity Series Episode #383
 |
| GOD Almighty traveled with Israel after having freed them from slavery and captivity in Egypt. David acknowledges that GOD Almighty guards and sustains us. |
"I lay down and slept; I woke again, for the LORD sustained me."- Psalm 3: 5 [David's prayer of gratitude to GOD Almighty for guarding him while being persecuted by Absalom.]
David instructs in the Scriptures the need to meditate on encouraging Scripture verses. We learn that meditating on Scripture can help us understand the insight and wisdom that exists in the knowledge of Scripture. This describes how studying Scripture with discipline allows us to understand how to persevere by worshiping GOD Almighty. Time spent on Scripture and prayer is time that is not spent on superficial and fake things that want to lead away from GOD Almighty a.k.a. socialist propaganda. There is so much disinformation online, and we also need to limit the time on the phone.
Meditating on encouraging Scripture verses can be considered prayer and the worship of GOD Almighty that guards our heart and mind from the temporary lies of the snake and socialism. Scripture is even more powerful than the sharpest two-edged sword. Scripture cuts deep into the lies of the snake and destroys the deceit. The snake hates that people learn Scripture because then they do not believe the insults, revilings, deception, temptations, intimidations, and deceit of the snake and socialism. Instead of having negative emotions based on intimidation and lies, we have serenity trusting in GOD Almighty.
Mediating on Scripture encourages us instead of discouraging us. A true father encourages his children to improve and have positive emotions. A fake father discourages, demotivates, reviles, and hates his children (Pope John Paul II called this the Hegelian dialect. Also why socialists do not have filial love.). GOD Almighty encourages us to persevere with motivation (Psalm 8, Psalm 23). The snake tries to discourage and envy human beings because it envies how a human being can have more fidelity to GOD Almighty than the snake had (while humans are not angels). I chose GOD Almighty. David chose GOD Almighty and not the snake. David trusted in GOD Almighty.
David helps us know that we can meditate on Scripture when circumstances are not making sense. David kept worshiping GOD Almighty everyday and prospered. David knew that when he went to sleep it was GOD Almighty who was guarding him (as opposed to Saul whom David could have struck down while Saul was asleep. David had grace.) David knew that when he woke up, it was GOD Almighty who sustained him. David kept faith despite hardship, adversity, and envy from the snake. I doubt David was going to worship the same snake that harassed him. That would explain why David worshiped GOD Almighty and never practiced idol worship a single day of his life. I make sure to go to prayer when I wake up and have a conversation with GOD Almighty, my Creator and Father. I then read Psalm 1 reminding myself of the need to read Scripture and avoid the wicked. Psalm 2 speaks about Yahshua being the true Mashiach. Then I go to Psalm 23-31 reminding myself that GOD Almighty is my refuge. Then I go eat breakfast prior to writing and publishing. After publishing, I exercise. In the afternoon, I pray again after eating lunch. Then I meditate on Scripture verses, study Scripture, and read positive stories. I then wind down by reading Christian books and educational books. If I am not tired, I listen to sermons. Psalm 3: 5 reminds us that we should be grateful to GOD Almighty for another day to worship GOD Almighty and also being closer to Shabbath. Psalm 4: 8 reminds us that it is GOD Almighty who guards us amidst gangstalking and envy of the snake. David was surrounded by Saul's 3,000 soldiers and Abner when gangstalked and still slept with calmness knowing GOD Almighty guarded him. Neither Saul nor Absalom were able to destroy David. GOD Almighty guarded David throughout his life being a loving, encouraging, and faithful Father. David never worshiped the snake a single day of his life. We can also start the day by thanking GOD Almighty for allowing us to persevere when we wake up (Psalm 3: 5) and when we go to sleep (Psalm 4: 8). This prevents us from having negative emotions and from believing the intimidations and deceit of the snake. Only GOD Almighty guards us from intimidation and destruction. Only GOD Almighty being the GOD of gods.
"I will not be afraid of many thousands of people who have set themselves against me all around."- Psalm 3: 6
"In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety."- Psalm 4: 8 [David trusted in GOD Almighty and persevered acknowledging that only GOD Almighty is His refuge.]
Learning Hebrew
Ebenezer, אבנצר, means stone of help in Hebrew. We learn that GOD Almighty was a stone of help to Moses who made the sun stand still and defeated the Amalekites. GOD Almighty was a stone of help against Goliath. We learn that David defeated Goliath by worshiping GOD Almighty. We conquer the snake worshiping King Jesus Christ.
Persevering With Motivation
Enjoy Shabbath Rest! We can keep persisting amidst the times we live in knowing we are closer to Shbbath Millennium with each passing day. While there still is envy and gangstalking, we can encourage ourselves knowing David persevered and prospered through envy and gangstalking. We do not need to have negative emotions since the snake wants to lead to the practice of sin by instigating negative thinking and speaking lies. Instead, we have positive emotions and gratitude knowing we do not believe lies because we have truth, insight, optimism, and fidelity. We learn that neither fame nor lust nor idol worship helped Elvis Presley feel happiness. We learn that John Lennon renounced rock and roll for pacifism and monogamy. Jim Morrison also left rock and roll, fame, and lust to be a poet. This describes how happiness is not in idol worship. We can persevere worshiping GOD Almighty and avoiding the temporary lies and temptations of the snake. Idolatry and sin are not the path of happiness. Instead, fidelity to GOD Almighty is happiness.
