Today, something different. I noticed the picture with the commentary
and liked it so much that I thought I would share it. The King James
Version of the Bible has an elegance to it that is amazing! The brief
commentary that follows each line is not only helpful, but worth reading
a few times and reflecting upon it.
As this Psalm is a very personal one, I asked myself: Is there a way to
emphasize its personal nature? What I decided was to change the version
to The World English Bible (because Yahweh is more accurate than the
term Lord [which is a mere title]) and change the font to a more letter
like font- and the choice was Montez.
Why do these things? By making it even more personal, the meaning seems
more real to me; something that reflects the real-life relationship with
God that we experience. Even though we will never live the life that
David did, we will encounter God in all aspects of our life here on
Earth. And when we go from analyzing our lives to experiencing our lives
WITH GOD ALWAYS AT OUR SIDE, God lives in us and we in him.
Jesus said....
Matthew, Chapter 7 (World English Bible)
21 Not
everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of
Heaven; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many
will tell me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, didn’t we prophesy in your name,
in your name cast out demons, and in your name do many mighty works?’ 23 Then I will tell them, ‘I never knew you. (emp. added, GDR) Depart from me, you who work iniquity.’
Knowing about God is not enough- we need to go from the analytical to the personal; to live with God, daily! Enough said- Live it, Gary!!!
