Title: Psalm 119 - Aleph

Scripture: Psalm 119:1 –8

God’s Message / God’s Promise / God’s Commands:

→ Praise the Lord!  Truly, we are blessed - those whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the law of the Lord. Indeed, God has set ways for us to follow, He has laid down precepts for us to obey and when we do, when we obey steadfastly the law of the Lord, then we will not be put to shame.  We will praise Him with an upright heart.  I want to emphasize that "not being put to shame" and "praising God" are all part of the result of obeying the law of the Lord.  Why?  Because upon doing His word, His statutes and precepts, we walk a blameless life and when we do, our lives will then see the glory and power of the Lord upon us, protecting us, delivering us and ensuring our safety!

Just today, I experienced this personally.  I woke up early around 1am to realize that our house was flooded because of a faucet left open in the bathroom.  Then I remember the extension wire, where i plugged in my computer and other devices, which is usually on the floor.  So I ran to the other room and found it floating.  I immediately took it, when i saw all the outlets in that extension wire are turned on.  I tried to remove my laptop and the TV's electric cord that are plugged into the extension wire but it was so hot, like it was overheating.  So I asked my sister to remove the cord of the extension wire from the main outlet.  Just minutes late from the time I woke up, my sister and I would have been electrocuted!  But Praise God, He will not put us to shame or danger because He made sure that I woke up at the specific time I did to save us.  Then upon really analyzing everything, i realize that everything we did for the past few weeks, was all in preparation for what happened earlier this morning.  When I decided to move my desk to the other room, when my sister bought the extension wire that I found floating (if I was using the old extension, it would have sunk into the water at the amount of water we have inside the house and the moment my feet touched the floor, i would have been dead of electrocution.  But I didn't because out of the many extension wires that my sister bought, she bought one that is taller than the usual standard height of an extension wire. 

God is truly good and He is amazing!  I will praise Him forever!  I am blessed because even the coming of Judah (my beloved puppy), had a purpose.  The only reason why i woke up at 1am because for the past few days, Judah has been crying at that hour because he wants to go out of his crate to pee.  So I get him out and bring him to the dog pad where he can do his business.  So that's the reason why I woke up at 1am.  Even the 2nd job I got, the only reason why I transferred my desk, causing my sister to buy the taller extension wire, and having all electric wires above the floor was because I had to move my desk to the other room, clearing out all the electric wire on the floor.  Hallelujah!  

I mean, Isn't it amazing how God connects it all?  I am overwhelmed and amazed and greatly blessed to have survive another day!  Not only that, when I shared what happened to my boss, he even offered me to have the day off, even though I didn't plan to skip work.  God really knows everything and He protects His people - those who walk blamelessly, who follow His law and statutes and seek Him with all their hearts!  Thank You Lord!

Prayer:

Lord Jesus what an amazing miraculous day it is!  Today, I have seen and witness Your great gesture of love once again.  Thank You Lord for keeping us alive, for keeping us safe and for sustaining us for another day!  thank You Lord because this is caused for celebration and thanksgiving because You alone deserves all glory and praise for what happened.  I will stay steadfast to Your word and true to Your law.  Help me Lord to keep it in my heart and to always seek Him with all of me each day.  In Jesus' Name, Amen!
