  • The Healing Harmony of the Psalms: A Beacon in Life’s Storms

    Have you ever felt like the weight of the world is on your shoulders? Have you ever been in a situation where it seems like all of life’s waves and billows are crashing over you? Do you ever feel like you’re drowning in your problems, uncertainties, and unspoken hurts? In these moments, it’s important to remember the words of Psalms 42:7-8 ‘Deep calls unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me. Yet the LORD will command His lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night His song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.’ Though written poetically, these verses carry profound truths. Together, we will dive into each verse and phrase expositorily, drawing lessons from the Psalms for life and living today. Let’s embark on this journey of discovery and healing, finding comfort and strength in the timeless wisdom of the Scriptures. Deep calls unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts. This phrase reflects the severity of the trials we sometimes undergo. It can feel as if the whole world is against us, with all of life’s challenges converging on our weary souls. All thy waves and thy billows have gone over me. Do we, at times, feel that even when we proverbially look up, all we see are our many uncertainties and problems, intertwined with unspoken hurt? Mental pain often leads to the physical deterioration of the body. Though the individual remains in the world of the living, their deeds, or lack thereof, portray the opposite. In such cases, feelings are numb, and interactions are merely motions without any sincere connection. However, this is where things begin to change. Remember, most wounds only heal when the discomfort intensifies, a process that is out of our control. This we read: Yet the LORD will command His lovingkindness in the daytime. Many of the problems we face in life stem from the absence of love. Individuals often try to find this missing love or fill its void, but when they go about it the wrong way, it results in more problems than initially anticipated. Moreover, there exist individuals whose consciousness is devoid of love. Their intentions, tainted by this absence, lead them to cause harm to others. The manifestation of their intent, whether through physical actions or verbal exchanges, inflicts damage and distress upon those around them. Nevertheless, the preceding phrase begins with the conjunction ‘Yet.’ That is to say, in spite of all that has happened, the Lord will command His lovingkindness in the daytime. Note, it is the Lord who commands His lovingkindness toward you. If you could have, you wouldn’t be in the situation you are in to begin with. Too often, we try on our own so that all may see our efforts and work, but our pillow remains our only friend, holding the countless secrets through the tears shed upon it. Now, it is time to let go and allow the Lord to command His lovingkindness upon you, for a change. One might question, ‘Considering God is all-powerful, why hasn’t He changed my situation already?’ Yes, God is indeed all-powerful, but God is also love, and true love never imposes itself, regardless of its power. Love must be accepted for it to be established. Therefore, when we surrender our will, the Lord steps in to transform what seems to be an unchangeable circumstance. At times, even though we experience the light of the day outwardly, within our hearts remains the darkness of anxiety and uncertainties. Yet, the LORD will command His lovingkindness in the daytime. No matter how difficult or challenging it may seem, there is always a hidden blessing or a positive aspect that can provide comfort, even if you are not yet aware of it. The Lord’s lovingkindness will serve as a belt and an anchor in your rough sea. As a belt, it will keep you composed, and as an anchor, it will keep you steady during the storm of life. So then, let us not fall for the same old mistakes, wrapping ourselves in the belts of our own making. Overworking to drown our sorrows, in the process, we slowly drown ourselves. Without a sure anchor, an individual is tossed back and forth by every change and occurrence around them. Impatient reactions without an anchor can lead to regrettable results. Yet, the LORD will command His lovingkindness in the daytime. Next, we read, ‘In the night His song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.’ Observe the phrase, ‘His song shall be with me.’ A song often speaks of praise. However, many individuals find themselves without any praise on their lips, not because they have an ungrateful heart, but because the music and songs they listen to trap their minds in a state from which they cannot escape. They listen to these songs that anchor them to the past, causing their presence to become obsolete and weary. So, what are you listening to? Many individuals are broken, and they listen to songs of brokenness, waking up the next day even more broken. Interestingly enough, they return to the same songs and more, echoing brokenness and pain. Many of the songs of the world (not all, but many) are not with you, nor do the singers know you or care about you. These songs are designed to lure you to a place that you cannot return to. But as the phrase reads, ‘His song (The song of the Lord) shall be with me.’ While certain songs are designed to draw you back to places of painful memories, the songs of the Lord, on the other hand, will accompany you in every situation. As a result, you will begin to have praise on your lips, seeing more of God and less of your problems. The right gospel song can become a prayer in your heart, forming an intimate bond between you and the God of your life. Even at times when you don’t know what to say or how to pray, let the lyrics of the many inspired songs speak through you. This allows you to connect with God rather than dwelling on your problems and your past. As you rest upon your pillow at night, these words plant seeds of change and hope for a new day. This sentiment is beautifully expressed in the lyrics of Helen Howarth Lemmel’s hymn. O soul, are you weary and troubled? No light in the darkness you see? There’s light for a look at the Savior, And life more abundant and free! Turn your eyes upon Jesus, Look full in His wonderful face, And the things of earth will grow strangely dim, In the light of His glory and grace.

  • Understanding the times that you may endure beyond the present for a glorious future.

    Understanding History, Faith, and Current Events: A Comparative Analysis Embracing Divine Direction: A Journey of Faith and Sacrifice Regardless of where we find ourselves in life, whether it’s in the broader context of the community or the land we inhabit, or on a more personal level within the family we belong to. As believers, we gratefully desire and long for the divine directional path from the Lord. And rightly so, one ought to. Like it was with Abraham, the father of our faith. This we read; Now the LORD had said unto Abram, get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will show thee. Genesis 12:1 No matter how much sacrifice is required for the changes that lie ahead. If knowing it is the will of the Lord, there is a definite willingness to act and to adhere to such a call. Abraham and Sarah: Lessons from the Past and Understanding Our Times Such was Abraham and Sarah, then. The representation of a male and a female. Therefore, the lesson is for all, today. As we admire their action then, for a lesson to us now, let us also learn to understand the times that we may endure beyond the present for a glorious future. The account of Abraham and Sarah yielding to the call of God through their action to ahead to His call, is recorded in the 12 chapter of Genesis. However, before the call, there were things happening in the land and in the hearts of men. This we read in the preceding chapter of Genesis. Chapter 11. Failure to keep God’s covenant. Therefore, mankind erects their Tower of Babel. Though they reside under the heavens that God created, but they seek their own name and a fame upon the earth, without God in Heaven as their focus. Through this, confusion enveloped the land. As it was once said; “To exalt man without God in Christ is to elevate him to a dizzy height from which he is sure to fall into hopelessness.” Western Progress and Divine Covenant: A Reflection on Nimrod’s Legacy Such it is today, speaking from the Western perspective. For the past 400 years, the Western nations, through the British empire and other European countries and then the United States has been instrumental for a change for the positive, worldwide. But through the span of time, these nations have failed to keep God’s covenant of which they were built upon in the beginning. They have attempted to replace God through the glorification of self. They erect their own Tower of Babel, where men labor without any rest by the decreed and mandates of a few as it was with Nimrod of old. Now, in this day and age, confusion is everywhere. Concerning Nimrod, at his initial start, it seems he did that which was right. But often times, with great success comes failure, for the maintaining of the right way, without the Lord as the focus. He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD. Genesis 10:9 That is to say, by the LORD's help he (Nimrod) was a great hunter. Even so, there was a common saying back then. "May the LORD make you as great a hunter as Nimrod." Considering he was a mighty hunter. We can conclude he did that which was right, at the beginning. For at this point in history, the risk of a person being killed by wild creatures was higher than illness, or of age. Humanity was on a stage of repopulating, after the Noamic covenant. And so were the animals, it was after the flood the animosity and the friction between man and beast intensify. Most of these creatures were no longer herbivores – plant eaters. So, they became flesh eaters. One of the reasons for this sudden change was for the lack of vegetation, or the gradual regrowth of plant life which was destroyed or marred in the flood. From Nimrod to Modern Times: The Consequences of Power and Abandoning Divine Covenant Winged creatures were at liberty to see beyond their location for a better place. Consequently, they remained herbivores and at times omnivores. But for the larger creatures which did not travel as far as a winged creature, with the rapid birth rate of mankind, humans were not off their diet choice. So, one can see and reasoned, why Nimrod was considered a mighty man before the Lord. Hunting wild creatures meant saving lives and preserving humanity and the control of food distribution through the game of the animals hunted. With this, came fame and many followers of Nimrod, young men who learned the deeds and the skills of hunting, Therein, he became a leader. But soon, their hunting wasn’t limited to animals, but the eliminating of competition through the opposition from other humans. Without The Lord, man in his wrongdoing will find a means to justify their action.  Failure to keep God’s covenant, they erected their Tower of Babel as a place of knowledge and so-called progress. Instead of acknowledging the Creator, they worship the creation. Stars and planetary worship. Such it is today, some of the few who control the public, they did not initially start doing the wrong thing. But with power came corruption, the denial of God and the control of the masses. Enduring Faith: From Abraham and Sarah to Our Times Let us be aware of such times, not as a deterrence to our faith, but that we may be counted worthy as an Abraham and a Sarah of our times. For it was succeeding a time of rebellion, ungodliness, selfishness, danger, and confusion that Abraham and Sarah receive a call for a new beginning. That they may see greatness beyond the current circumstance. From their faithful act, by seeing beyond the world they were a part of and their circumstances, the result was the birth of Isaac – their son. The name Isaac implies laughter. Today, at times, when we look at our surroundings, and the circumstances, hope seems laughable and out of reach. So was Sarah, having heard the words of the Lord that she would become a mother, she laughed at such an idea. The possibility seems out of reach. Yet, through the passage of time, Isaac was born, and they did laugh again, but this time it wasn’t the laugh of doubt, but of joy and a new beginning. Today, where we are is because of the act of faith from our forefathers leaving where they were, to where we are now.  And within us all, is our Isaac, but let us understand the times that we may learn to endure beyond the present for a glorious future. The LORD had appeared to Isaac and had said," . . .  stay in this land, where I tell you to stay. Live here, and I will be with you and bless you. I am going to give all this territory to you and to your descendants. I will keep the promise I made to your father Abraham. I will give you as many descendants as there are stars in the sky, and I will give them all this territory. All the nations will ask me to bless them as I have blessed your descendants. I will bless you, because Abraham obeyed me and kept all my laws and commands." Genesis 26:2-5 Key points These reflections provide a thoughtful perspective on faith, history, and current events. They remind us of the importance of understanding our times, learning from the past, and seeking divine guidance for the future. Understanding History, Faith, and Current Events: It’s important to comprehend our present circumstances in the context of history and faith. This understanding can guide us towards a better future. Divine Direction: As believers, we seek guidance from the Lord, much like Abraham who followed God’s call to leave his country and kindred (Genesis 12:1). Willingness to Sacrifice: If we know it’s God’s will, we should be ready to make necessary sacrifices and changes, just like Abraham and Sarah. Learning from the Past: The story of Abraham and Sarah serves as a lesson for us today, encouraging us to endure present challenges for a glorious future. Failure to Keep God’s Covenant: The Tower of Babel represents mankind’s attempt to make a name for themselves without God, leading to confusion and chaos. Western Perspective: Western nations have brought about positive change worldwide over the past 400 years. However, they have failed to keep the covenant they were built upon, replacing God with self-glorification. Nimrod the Hunter: Nimrod was a mighty hunter with the Lord’s help (Genesis 10:9). His story reminds us that success can lead to failure if we lose focus on the Lord. Post-Flood Changes: After the flood, the relationship between humans and animals changed, with many animals becoming carnivorous due to a lack of vegetation. Nimrod’s Rise to Power: Nimrod, a mighty hunter, gained fame and followers, eventually becoming a leader. However, his leadership led to competition and conflict among humans. The Tower of Babel: In their failure to keep God’s covenant, mankind built the Tower of Babel as a symbol of knowledge and progress, worshipping creation instead of the Creator. Power and Corruption: Those who control society today didn’t necessarily start with ill intentions. However, power often leads to corruption, denial of God, and control over the masses. Abraham and Sarah’s New Beginning: Despite living in a time of rebellion, ungodliness, selfishness, danger, and confusion, Abraham and Sarah received a call from God for a new beginning. Their faith led to the birth of Isaac, symbolizing hope and a new start. Isaac, Laughter, and Hope: The name Isaac implies laughter. Despite initial doubt, the birth of Isaac brought joy and a new beginning. This teaches us that even when hope seems laughable and out of reach, we can still look forward to a glorious future. God’s Promise to Isaac: God appeared to Isaac and promised to bless him and his descendants, giving them all the territory and keeping the promise He made to Abraham (Genesis 26:2-5). These reflections provide a deeper understanding of biblical stories and their relevance to our current times. They remind us of the importance of faith, hope, and understanding the times we live in.

  • Beyond the Blueprint: Where Action Paints the Canvas. Contrasting Plan and Action

    While plans offer a starting point (the blueprint), the true journey is shaped by our actions (painting the canvas). Life is a journey, often guided by the plans we make. These plans, like a sketch on a canvas, provide an initial structure for our path. However, it's important to remember that while plans offer a roadmap, it's our actions, not the rigid outlines themselves, that ultimately shape our journey. Jotting plans in journals feels tangible, a comfort in the visible. Yet, the truest growth lies in embracing the unseen – the realm of faith and action. We may not see the final outcome, but with belief as our compass and a sprinkle of faith in the unknown, we can take the first step, and the next, and the next. Instead of letting our plans rigidly dictate our every move, let the journey of taking action fueled by faith be the ultimate outcome. While meticulously crafting plans within the confines of journals and calendars holds a certain comfort in tangibility, it's the act of embracing the unknown, the unseen, that signifies true faith. It's believing in something we cannot yet grasp and acting upon that belief, even when faced with uncertainty, that defines our journey. The question ultimately lies not in simply following plans or passively accepting predetermined outcomes, but in recognizing that a plan is merely a roadmap, a projection of our intended actions. Take the wealthy individual who acquires land. The plan they meticulously craft serves as a blueprint, not a dictator. It reflects their vision, but it doesn't diminish their individuality or agency. The plan facilitates the action, the building of the home, not the other way around. Similarly, while planning provides structure and direction, it shouldn't become an anchor that weighs us down. The need to tick every box on a pre-defined list shouldn't overshadow the joy of spontaneous action guided by faith and unexpected turns. As the scripture in Hebrews 11:1 says, "Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." This principle applies to our journey as well. We may not see the final outcome, but with faith, we can take action and navigate the uncertainties with confidence. Furthermore, James 1:5 reminds us, "If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you." When faced with unforeseen circumstances on our journey, we can seek wisdom and guidance from God through prayer. Therefore, the answer is not to abandon planning altogether but to strike a balance. Let your plans serve as a guiding star, not a prison, and allow your actions, fueled by faith, to be the driving force, painting the canvas of your life with the vibrant colors of experience. #beyondtheplan #embracingtheunknown #faithoverfear

  • Freedom from within | Awalkingnewman.com

    Miscellaneous Writings Freedom from within To undo in life is to move forward with wisdom Share Most restrictions, constraints, limitation, bonds and the absence of freedom experienced by men, isn’t a physical problem. However, from within the mind, the physical body is trapped. The mind is what make us free as humans. Yet, it is the most powerful element of keeping a person bind when he or she intransigently refuses to accept another alternative, to a cause of liberation. Jesus said, and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. The phrase, and the truth shall make you free, this means “to go where one wishes and so free.” Although freedom is laid at the feet for many, nevertheless, they are too engrossed in the constant reminder as to why they want to be free. Perhaps, a situation or an event that enslaved them. This has become their focus rather than the freedom that awaits them. They have emerged themselves in the reason for their constraints, while blindly ignoring the freedom that they need. Let the mind that is bound ask itself, what do I need, freedom? The many reasons of the past, for the absence of freedom, isn’t the path to freedom. Though it may serve as a reminder, but a reminder only points to a goal. One cannot set an alarm clock, and when it rings, only to stare at it. Instead, they proceed to the reason for the alarm which is the goal. In this case, the freedom of the mind is that goal and not the many reasons of the past, for the absence of freedom. The freedom for tomorrow is now to receive. To undo in life is to move forward with wisdom. The fear or the reverence of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Jesus said, come to me, all of you who are tired from carrying heavy loads, and I will give you rest. Let the heart sing with melody, the joy of praises by faith to the Lord . . . Search me, oh God, and know my heart today. Try me, oh precious Saviour, know my thought I pray. See if there would be some wicked, wicked ways in me. Cleanse me from every sin and set me free.

  • What is the Bronze Serpent? | Awalkingnewman

    Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. The greatness of the Word of God is its integrity, by which it is without error nor deception. If contradictions arise, it is the reader’s lack of perception. So then, let it be an opportunity to gain a better insight. The passages below are some of that which we avert, for the lack of understanding, but with a willing mind, they shall be made known. The bronze serpent All through Christianity, and the world in par, the serpent has been a type of enmity toward men, and men contempt through fear toward the serpent. For some, it represent danger, while for others, its slyness is the embodiment of evil. Be that as it may, the serpent isn't a dove among people of faith, therefore, it is castout. All through the Scriptures, the mention in reference to this creature has been primarily of negative implications. It was used as a tool of Satan to deceive man in the beginning, even Satan is called that old serpent. With these and more, the image of the serpent isn’t that which is holy, but the contrary. However, the topic of this exposition is the bronze serpent. Taken from the fourth book of the Bible, the book of Numbers , therewith we read, the LORD said unto Moses, make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole . . . And Moses made a serpent of bronze and put it on a pole . . . those that look upon it shall, live. ​ So then, the question arises in the mind of the reader. What is this serpent that Moses made, and why would this creature of enmity be used as a focus of life? For the Lord said, in the beginning, I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He will bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel. (Genesis 3:15) For the understanding of many Scriptures, the reader must read the account as a whole, by understanding that which perceive the passage of interest, and that which comes thereafter. In this case, the preceding record must first be understood. ​ Through the exposition, we will better understand the meaning thereof, and how it relates to us today. ​ The time of our text is the Exodus from Egypt , by the children of Israel , from slavery to freedom . The place of the text is from Mount Hor , to Arabah – A word meaning (burnt up) the location indicates a deep-sunken valley, or trench. Therewith, their journey continues, from the mountain, symbolic of victory, now they found themselves in the valley of depression. How we perceive situations in life, will determine the outcome of our days in the valley to a height of success. Before descending the path of Arabah, Israel had won a battle against the king of Arad , who Instigate a war against them. Despite being "free slaves," the Lord gives them the victory against all odds. As they were now faced with new opposition from their surroundings, they no longer remember the testimony of their victory. Instead, like most Christians today, their focus is on the problems, rather than the solution which is God. And the people spoke against God, and against Moses, why have you brought us out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no bread, and there is no water; and our soul hates this light bread. And Jehovah sent fiery serpents among the people; and they bit the people, and many people of Israel died. (Numbers 21:5-6) The text reads, and Jehovah sent fiery serpents among the people. Not as though it was the desire of the Lord, but in reality, we live in a perilous world. The protection of the Lord is our shield from the danger thereof. By faith and gratitude, we abide under the shadow of His protection. When gratitude is replaced with ungratefulness for the lack of praise, faith shall be overshadowed with unbelief. Through unbelief, the individual will backslide from God’s provision and protection, thereby exposing themselves to the danger of this world and the fiery serpents. ​ The people came to Moses, and said, we have sinned , for we have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray unto the LORD, that He take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people. And the LORD said unto Moses, make thee a fiery serpent , and set it upon a pole : and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten , when he looks upon it, shall live. And Moses made a serpent of brass , and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld (look at) the serpent of brass, he lived . (Numbers 21:7-9) ​ The question still arises, knowing the serpent is the symbol of a curse and herein it is the result of sin, so then how, or why did it serve as the focus of life to the sinners? To further understand this is to get an insight to the core of Christianity, which is the Cross of Christ . The reason for the Cross of Christ was for the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ in place of sinful humanity. The wages of sin is death, but Christ as the Gift of God, He died on the Cross for our sins. Therewith He took the sin of the world upon Himself. He paid the penalty of sin that we may live a life without the suffering, pain and the condemnation of sin. He became a sin sacrifice that He may break the curse of sin . Thus, it is written, Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, cursed is every one that hangs on a tree. (Galatians 3:13) Before Christ could hang on a tree (The Cross) for our sins, God instructed Moses to construct a bronze serpent , which typify the curse of sin and suffering. The LORD said unto Moses, make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looks upon it, he shall live. In essence, those in the wilderness who looks to the bronze serpent were looking with hope for the future Messiah. Since it was sin that causes men to die, men must now look at the sin in which Christ has taken upon Himself that men may live. The look spoken of here is to direct one's attention in hopeful expectation to live. Such is the Cross of Christ. Before the Cross of Christ, man looks to the future through a symbolic representation , such was the bronze serpent . Bronze typifies judgment , Christ took our judgment upon Himself on the Cross. The serpent typifies a curse , Christ became a curse on the Cross that we may be free from the penalty of the curse . ​ At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light, And the burden of my heart rolled away, It was there by faith I received my sight, And now I am happy all the day! As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man (Christ) be lifted up: (John 3:14) The lifted up here, speaks of the Cross. As He was nailed to the Cross, the debt we owed was nailed and never to be recorded against us. He was lifted up between Heaven and Earth with His arms open, as a mediator between God and man. For He said, if I be lifted up (The Cross) I will draw all men unto me. In life's battle, may we lift up the Lord as our banner. Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovah-Nissi , meaning the Lord is our banner. Though He hung on the Cross as a sin sacrifice, but through sacrifice, He became life to all who will believe. Those who came before us, they look at symbols and types representing the Cross of Christ, such as the bronze serpent on a pole. Today, may we look to Calvary Cross, the focus of where sin demand was paid . No longer we face the fiery serpents , but real are the fiery dots against our faith. Therefore, take the shield of faith, wherewith you shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. In the lyrics of G. T. Haywood , we sing: On Cal'vry's hill of sorrow Where sin's demands were paid, And rays of hope for tomorrow Across our path were laid. I see a crimson stream of blood, It flows from Calvary, Its waves which reach the throne of God, Are sweeping over me. Today no condemnation Abides to turn away My soul from His salvation, He's in my heart to stay. When gloom and sadness whisper, "You've sinned—no use to pray, " I look away to Jesus, And He tells me to say: I see a crimson stream of blood The Cross of Christ, the place the wandering afflicted soul of men may rest and live. The only place God will meet with men, for it was sin that separates man from God, and at the Cross, sin demand was paid, at the Cross we abide. _____ Blotting out the handwriting in the ordinances against us, which was contrary to us, even He has taken it out of the way, nailing it to His Cross; having stripped the rulers and the authorities, (Satan and his henchmen) He made a show of them in public, triumphing over them in it. (Colossians 2:14-15) __________________________________ ​ 🎨PSW·3✒© > Related topics < Share
