So You Think You Are, "Insignificant," Do You?
(Someone asked why I type in bold print certain segments of the devotionals. The text in bold print are always and only Biblical references.)
******************
"I am insignificant and despised, but I don't forget your commandments." (Psalm 119:141, NLT)
I submit to you that if you, "don't forget [His] commandments," it really does not matter how anyone sees you. Jesus Christ sees you as an obedient, faithful, very significant and honored follower of His.
A thought occurred to me as I was reading today's Psalms, which included Psalm 119. The longest chapter in the Bible is given solely to, "the Word of God." Do you think the Holy Spirit is saying something in this?!? There are at least 11 different "descriptions" of the Word in Psalm 119, "law, testimonies, ways, precepts, statutes, commandments, judgments, word, words, counselors, ordinances, songs." All of these give insight concerning the Person of Jesus Christ, "The Word of God." All of these are yours and mine, that is, if we avail ourselves of them/Him.
I have referred before to a great quote of Derek Prince: "God is committed to His Word, and as we are committed to His Word, God is committed to us." Now I readily admit that I have issues just as everyone on the planet. I have sin, flaws, personality traits which are not good reflections of Jesus. But as I continue in Jesus and His Words during all the days I have left on this Planet, I will always have, "counselors, testimonies, ways," which are Who and What He is, to impart the very Life of the Living Triune God in me. Some of us have more "issues" than others. But none of us have any more of, "The Word of God," and, "the Words of God," than anyone else. The only difference is, who avails himself of such. Psalm 119:97 gives us a key to victory in the battle of life, "Oh, how I love Your law! It is my meditation all the day."
Father, in Jesus' Name, You have given all I need------ You. Amen.

Same, "Rock"
"Moreover, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the cloud, all passed through the sea, all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, all ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ." (1 Corinthians 10:1-4)
Some people like/need preaching and teaching which say something new about Bible passages. I have heard many times over the years about the need for a "fresh word." Our text today is as "fresh" to me as it was the first day I read it, even though that was about 55 years ago. The Words of God are described as, "....Living and active." Such words do not grow stale; only dead and inactive does that.
How can you improve on the great revelation of our text? What more can one say? The ancient Hebrews had a, "....Rock [Who] followed them.... And we are told, "that Rock was Christ," and they regularly, "drank of that spiritual Rock." Many mistakenly believe that Christ came into being 2000 years ago. But Christ did not "come into being." He was always Being, "Before Abraham was, I Am." What a great gift of life in Jesus Christ. "The Scriptures tell us, 'The first man, Adam, became a living person.' But the last Adam--- that is, Christ--is a life-giving Spirit." Our great Life-Giver appeared to Joshua on the plains of Jericho and was the fourth man in the fiery furnace, of Whom the king said, "....and the appearance of the fourth is like a son of the gods!"
Christ is still the same, "I am the Bread of Life," and Water of Life He was to the Hebrews in the wilderness, "He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water." This same Rock "follows" you and me today. Wherever we go, whatever we do, no matter how great the joy and celebration, or the pain and heartache. Jesus Christ, our Rock, "follows" us. Even better, dwells in us------------------------- I love the smell of fresh bread.
Father, in Jesus' Name, I thank You for Your Rock of Living Water and, "I am the Bread of Life," Jesus. Amen.
