Take a Walk through the Psalms with Me

The Book of Psalm in the Bible is a collection of 150 Psalms. The Hebrew name for Psalms is “Tehillim.” The root of the word means praise. This collection of poems, prophecies, prayers and praise utterances reveal the nature of the relationship between God and his children.
The words are honest and sincere and yet powerful in its expression and outcome.
Psalm 1 - The secret of strength and fruitfulness

Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers. But they delight in the law of the Lord, meditating on it day and night. They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season. Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do. But not the wicked! They are like worthless chaff, scattered by the wind. They will be condemned at the time of judgment. Sinners will have no place among the godly.For the Lord watches over the path of the godly, but the path of the wicked leads to destruction. Psalm 1:1-6 (NLT)

Thought for the day:
Where you are planted determines what you produce in life.
Your closest companions can shape your values; in turn it can determine the outcome of your life.
What you think about most directs your path and consumes your energy.

  1. THE DEATH OF GOD

    "Then the Jews, as was the preparation of the Passover, so that the bodies were not on the cross on the sabbath (for that Sabbath day was very solemn) asked Pilate to break them legs, and were removed from there.
    They came as soldiers, and broke the legs of the first, and also the other who was crucified with him.
    But when they came to Jesus, as he was already dead, did not break his legs "(John 19,31-33)

    As Albert Einstein once said: "The only true problem of all time is in the heart and the thoughts of men. This is not a physical problem but a moral issue. It is easier to change the plutonium compocision that the evil spirit of an individual. It is not the explosive power of an atomic bomb, but what frightens us the power of evil in the human heart, its explosive power for evil. "
    No doubt that what the scientist says is one of the harsh realities that describe the human being, that there is an evil inclination in man.
    Many of the unhealthy actions of man originated in the laboratory of the evil mind of man, a mind that each day feeds on a terrifying idea, the darkest, most hideous that the man was able to conceive this idea is the desire to "kill God."
    Every human being has an area which makes it responsive to think of God, and this sensitive area is in Consciousness. But when the human heart is inclined to build their own roads, to set their own standards, creating an ethical and moral own or her own lifestyle, not subject to anything but the ego itself, the man faces an obstacle: the idea of God in his conscience.
    So the man decided that this idea should be removed from his mind.
    The apostle John writes about this desire of man, when focusing on the murder and martyrdom of the Lord Jesus Christ, this being done the most despicable act committed to the human race.
    In reading John 19,31-34 are 2 groups conspired together and with the intent to remove and eliminate the idea of God reflected in the person of Jesus. These groups are the Jews and Romans.
    But here also notice two things:
    1. Religiosity, as represented by the Jews, and that today may well be exemplified by all the religious leaders of all denominations living under Christian rites and ceremonies, traditions or under human schemes, under systems that are not biblical, without guide the Spirit of God. This kills the religious idea of God in man.
    2. Spiritual insensitivity, as represented by the Roman soldiers, and exemplified by all those who are disrespectful or irreverent to the sacred, the profane to the church of Christ without fear of seeing God in their hearts, breaking the rules of God, as if break the legs of Christ.
    These two things darkened conscience of man.
    However, as the apostle John writes the death of Jesus, also writes gloriously the event of his Resurrection.
    "Ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God" (John 20.17),
    with these words spoken by the Lord Jesus Christ after his resurrection, he left it that the idea of God is so great and sublime that can never disappear from the consciousness of man. So for those of evil heart this idea remains a torment to their lives, but for people whose hearts repented the idea of God is an idea of hope, joy, strength, which encourages them to await Christ's Second Coming.

    Note: take it as a blessing rather than invasion to your blog.
