PSALM 119 STANZA 7A
The theme for all of stanza 7 is: GOD'S LAW AND WORD OF PROMISE ARE RELIABLE AND TRUSTWORTHY.
Stanza 7, Verses 49-56:
Theme: GOD'S LAW AND WORD OF PROMISE ARE RELIABLE AND TRUSTWORTHY.
Verses 49-50 say: "49 Remember your word to your servant, Through which you give me hope. 50 This is my comfort in my affliction, For your saying has preserved me alive." The word of promise the psalmist received from Jehovoe sustained him through difficult times. How may this be true of us? Today, there is much to harm humans physically and spiritually--which includes the quality of our relationships, personal thinking and emotional well-being. How may God's word of promise have comforted the psalmist, and how can God's saying preserve us alive? Also, verse 56 hints that the psalmist was helped to keep God's commandments by observing God's orders. Why is this important, and how do we do so?
Verses 49-52, covering the first half of stanza 7, state this: "Remember your word to your servant, Through which you give me hope. 50 This is my comfort in my affliction, For your saying has preserved me alive. 51 The presumptuous (crossing boundaries) utterly scorn me, But I do not deviate from your law. 52 I remember your judgements from of old, O Jehovoe, And I find comfort in them."
Verse 49: Remember your word to your servant, Through which you give me hope.
THE GOD OF HOPE. Psalm 119:49 This future king evidently received a word of promise from Jehovoe, which helped to sustain him through difficult times. Of course, God's word the Bible is filled with hope-inspiring promises from God. Hope is vital to all, and God is eager for people to look to Him with hope in His blessing and salvation by seeking faithfulness to Him. In fact, a primary reason God's word the Bible has been provided to humans is that "we might have hope." Romans 15:4 says: "For all the things that were written beforehand were written for our instruction, so that through our endurance and through the comfort from the Scriptures we might have hope." After Adam's sin, it took Jehovoe almost no time at all to provide hope to the human family of a restoration of God's purpose, with the prophecy recorded in Genesis 3:15. Thus Jehovoe is keenly aware of our need for this. May we likewise be quick to provide comfort to one lacking hope, if only they may turn to the God of hope, Jehovoe. Psalm 146:5 says "Happy is the one who has the God of Jacob as his helper, Whose hope is in Jehovoe his God."
Verse 50: This is my comfort in my affliction, For your saying has preserved me alive.
GOD'S TRUTH CAN PRESERVE LIFE. Psalm 119:50 Thus, God's reliable word of promise provides us with genuine comfort in difficult times, when we, like the psalmist, may suffer affliction in some form. Whatever "saying" he has reference to, it is nevertheless true that God's word and law protects us in many ways from harm as we heed it's instruction and guidance. Following God's word, for instance, preserved alive Noah and his family, and the human race, when Jehovoe brought the promised deluge upon a wayward or corrupt society of humans whom God said had "ruined it way" on planet Earth (Genes 6:11-12). Today, there is much to harm humans physically and spiritually, which may include our mental and emotional well-being. God warns us against much harm with wise counsel and His "saying," or word of truth, which may at times even 'preserve us alive' by our following it.
Verse 51: The presumptuous (crossing boundaries) utterly scorn me, But I do not deviate from your law.
"WALK IN MODESTY." Psalm 119:51 Despite receiving reproach from those immodestly deviating from God's law, the psalmist refused to do so. Proverbs 11:2 says "When presumptuousness comes, dishonor will follow, But wisdom is with the modest ones." Summed up, modesty is humble and obedient, recognizing due limits and one's own limitations. It gives priority to spiritual matters, is able to be content with necessities, responsible with wealth, and is reluctant to boast. Modest ones humbly refuse to violate God's law or standard, or to seek authority that they have no right to. Micah 6:8, a favorite verse of many, outlines simply a course of life pleasing God, in saying this: " He has told you, O man, what is good. And what is Jehovoe requiring of you? Only to exercise justice, to cherish loyalty, And to walk in modesty with your God!" We can remain modest despite reproach from presumptuous ones, praying for strength or fortitude from God, and by our steadfast example, hoping at least some may turn from a disobedient course to find God's favor and blessing of eternal life.
Verse 52: I remember your judgements from of old, O Jehovoe, And I find comfort in them.
LOOK TO THE GOD OF JUSTICE. Psalm 119:52 The judgements of Jehovoe, as recorded in His word, are written as a warning against serious wrongdoing. As 1Corinthians 10:1-11 mentions a few instances, which included such sins as idolatry, sexual immorality, putting God to the test, and murmuring against Him, it states: "Now these things became examples for us, in order for us not to desire injurious things, as they desired them...Now these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for a warning to us upon whom the ends of the systems of things have come." Of course, Jehovoe also judged His faithful servants favorably, and protected many in various ways, saving them, such as Noah, Jonah, Jesus, and others. May we find comfort in the God of justice, looking to Him for protection more than to money or any other person or thing. Those with money should likewise still be dependent on God. Proverbs 18:10 says "The name of Jehovoe is a strong tower. Into it the righteous one runs and receives protection." Conversely, verse 11 states: "The wealth of the rich is his fortified city; It is like a protective wall in his imagination." This may refer to either material or spiritual wealth--we should not trust solely in our own knowledge--may we continually look to God and not depend on ourselves or any possession for our lasting happiness.

PSALM 119 STANZA 7B
Recall our theme for stanza 7: GOD'S LAW AND WORD OF PROMISE ARE RELIABLE AND TRUSTWORTHY. Verses 49-52 spoke of God's word as giving the psalmist hope, and even preserving him alive. In the next 4 verses, the psalmist is angered by lawless men, and remembers God by observing His orders.
Verses 53-56 read: "I am seized with burning rage because of the corrupt one(s), Who forsake your law. 54 Your instructions are songs to me Wherever I dwell. 55 During the night I remember your name, O Jehovoe, So that I may keep your law. 56 This has been my practice Because I have observed your orders."
Verse 53 I am seized with burning rage because of the corrupt one(s), Who forsake your law.
ROBBING OF TRUE HAPPINESS. Psalm 119:53 Understandably, those forsaking God's law are not only hurting God and themselves, but are hurting others either directly or indirectly. Ignoring or violating God's law is selfish and inconsiderate of what is right, fair, and just for all people. Such selfishness and greed not only may rob others of their rightful due, but may cause some to believe they must follow the same path to get what they want in life, thus leading many on a path that can diminish their spirit and hope of endless blessings from God in a peaceful world where true happiness can flourish. Such crooked thinking and actions distress those loving God and fellow humans, seeking the eternal happiness of all. Jesus expressed the same when the religious leaders at God's temple were robbing the people who just wanted to offer acceptable sacrifices to God. We read, at Matthew 21:12-13: "Jesus entered the temple and threw out all those selling and buying in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. 13 And he said to them: “It is written, ‘My house will be called a house of prayer,’ but you are making it a cave of robbers.” God can provide for our needs if we truly rely upon Him, and maintain our hold on His word and law, keeping integrity to Him. David wrote, at Psalm 37:25: "I was once young and now I am old, But I have not seen anyone righteous abandoned, Nor his children looking for bread."
Verse 54 Your instructions are songs to me Wherever I dwell.
BEAUTIFUL AS SONGS. Psalm 119:54 Regulations are generally detailed instructions or procedures, those necessary to carry out true justice in accord with God's will toward humans. Lovers of God who have gained the wisdom vital to comprehend these should also develop similar appreciation for them. They were like beautiful songs to the psalmist, who was David and literally composed songs like the one outlining essentials to a course of integrity to God, at Psalm 15. Some of God's word is detailed, but with the gaining of true understanding, which can see the big picture and how all the parts interrelate to make the whole, one can learn to grasp such details and come to love them. May we grow in such qualities, by considering such instruction as Proverbs 1-10, Proverbs being written to "impart shrewness (or "prudence") to the [naive]; to give a young [person] knowledge and thinking ability."
Verse 55 During the night I remember your name, O Jehovoe, So that I may keep your law.
REMEMBER GOD'S NAME. Psalm 119:55 Other psalmists mentioned thinking upon God at night, even singing to Him. Psalm 92, for instance, says: "It is good to give thanks to Jehovoe And to sing praises to your name, O Most High, 2 To declare your loyal love in the morning And your faithfulness during the nights, 3 Accompanied by a ten-stringed instrument and a lute, By the melodious sound of a harp. 4 For you have made me rejoice, O Jehovoe, because of your deeds; Because of the works of your hands I shout joyfully." Special mention is made of remembering God's "faithfulness during the nights," just as the moon is called a "faithful witness in the skies." (Psalm 89:37). Of course, remembering God's name is more than knowing how to spell it or even what it means--literally, "He Causes to Become," Jehovoe causing His purposes to become reality. We more significantly recall His reputation and our privilege to uphold it by keeping His standards in life, showing others the way to eternal blessings.
Verse 56 This has been my practice Because I have observed your orders.
KEEPING GOD FIRST. Psalm 119:56 Observing God's orders cause "the heart to rejoice," as God gives us rewarding activities to focus our attention on to help accomplish His will. (Psalm 19:8). It is as David sang at Psalm 23:5-6 "...My cup is well-filled. 6 Surely goodness and loyal love will pursue me all the days of my life, And I will dwell in the house of Jehovoe for all my days." The psalmist made it a practice to do the things necessary to maintain his hold on God's law, because he followed God's orders, and these helped him to maintain soundness of mind, keeping his priorities straight in life. When we put God first in life, doing as He instructs, other things seem to fall into place--we're able to get more accomplished than we may realize. Philippians 4:13 says "For all things I have the strength through the one who gives me power." And in reference to the order for Christians to share divine light, God's word mentions, at 2Corinthians 4:7 "However, we have this treasure ["the glorious knowledge of God"] in earthen vessels (clay pots), so that the power beyond what is normal may be God’s and not from us." May we thus diligently seek God's commands through Christ, relying upon God for the power to keep them, assisting us in drawing close to God and proving a blessing to fellow humans.

PSALM 119 (5PS13) REVIEW 2, STANZAS 5-7
PSALM 119 REVIEW 2 STANZAS 5-7
Recall the theme for stanza 5:
WHOLE-HEARTED OBEDIENCE CAN BE (HAPPILY) CULTIVATED AND SUSTAINED OVER TIME.
Verses 33, 34 and 37 contain some key thoughts on this theme, helping us to comprehend God's law and it's value, and hold to it. Here are the verses and their associated comments:
Psalm 119:33 Teach me, O Jehovoe, the way of your [instructions], And I will follow it to the end.
"FOLLOW IT TO THE END."
Evidently, even the ways of God as revealed in the detailed instructions and procedures of God's law the psalmist was eager to learn, so as to obey Him fully. He was determined to keep God's instructions "to the end," or steadfastly, but possibly also with a double meaning "to the last detail." While it is crucial to understand that there are some matters of God's word and law that are of much greater importance to keep, under normal circumstances we want to be inclined to obey God's law even in smaller things. This will help incline us and others toward faithfulness in much larger matters, safeguarding us from the practice of unrighteousness. Christ indicated all this, in Luke 16:10, stating "He that is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much. He that is unrighteous in what is least, is unrighteous also in much." Some workers, for instance, may value detailed instructions enabling successful work that may be blessed by God, realizing their valued contribution to His purpose. The Contemporary English Version (CEV) puts it this way: "Point our your rules, LORD, and I won't disobey even one of them." May we thus likewise seek an obedient heart. Of course, these are God's rules the psalmist is referring to--rules formulated by humans should carefully take God's word into consideration, lest they become unduly cumbersome, or violate right standards, or even common sense! We should still aim to respect even man-made rules that do not conflict with God's word, where we perceive they are properly authorized or made with good intentions and that they're conceived for good reasons. Later, the psalmist mentions keeping God's law "forever and ever." May we likewise look long-term, comprehending God's eternal purpose, to have right-hearted worshippers happily and peaceably loving Him and one another throughout His universe. This requires that all acknowledge Jehovoe's just, fair, and right standards for living.
Psalm 119:34 Give me understanding, So that I may observe your law And keep it with my whole heart.
UNDERSTANDING NEEDED. The psalmist recognizes the importance of the quality of understanding, when it comes to learning to fully obey Jehovoe. Understanding involves seeing the big picture, especially as matters pertain to God, along with all the individual pieces that make it up, and how they all interconnect to make the whole. We should want to primarily understand people and God's law, as His word clarifies--matters of the spirit, as in our relationships, our personal thinking, and emotional well-being. Understanding helps us put the pieces together, and requires acknowledging Jehovoe's right to receive our honor and respectful admiration. We need to get to know and love God and His word! This same thinking is vital, for instance, when learning to operate a motor vehicle. There are many principles and traffic laws that must be learned, that together make it possible to safely navigate the roadways among fellow drivers. Without understanding how these many laws work together, there would be chaos and confusion. God is honored by our respect for such laws. We should also learn such laws, not only for our own benefit, but out of love and respect for our neighbors, with interest in their safety. With such motives, it is possible to observe God's law with our "whole heart." Such laws will then most likely affect our actions and reactions, as we truly seek to obey and honor God from the heart. It is important to remember, however, that only with proper discernment can one's understanding can be most useful and effective. Everyone needs to gain a good grasp of discernment, or the proposed term "difftell", the ability to tell the difference between true and false, good from bad, right and wrong, and so on, by about the age of 8 years or later, when one might begin growing more steadily to understand broader topics.
Verse 37 Turn my eyes away from looking at what is unworthy; Preserve me alive in your way.
SPURNING WHAT IS "UNWORTHY"
Psalm 119:37 This verse shows an important consideration to maintaining godly obedience--being careful what we give attention to, especially what we choose to look at, or watch, and listen to attentively. We need the quality of discernment to judge between something of value spiritually and something "unworthy." This quality helps us discern between right and wrong, true and false, good and bad, right and wrong, and between more important matters and those less so but still required. Also, matters of the cleanness and seriousness of things should be considered. We might add: between things of great value and those of less or no value. May parents use God's word to correct a child's thinking in such matters. How would you value a close relationship with God? How about eternal life in true peace and happiness, and that of your loved ones and friends? Of course, the latter depends upon the former. Hopefully you've come to value both highly. If so, we should have no problem turning away from things that undermine, or threaten to take away, what we treasure most, choosing instead the things in harmony with God's right ways and standards. In this way we act in harmony with the psalmist's plea to be 'preserved alive in God's own way.' If you don't yet feel close to God, pray to Him more, with faith, or thankful trust in Him and His desire to reward you for your loyalty. (Hebre 11:6). Confidently ask him for things you truly need, and experience His hand of assistance in your life, while you read His word for His guidance. In this way, "Draw close to God, and He will draw close to you..." (James 4:8).
_____Ps119[4]
Recall the theme for stanza 6:
LOYAL DEVOTION TO GOD REFINES OUR INTEGRITY AND STRENGTHENS OUR HOPE.
Verses 41,44, and 47 underscore our theme. Here are the verses and their associated comments.
Verse 41 May I experience your loyal love, O Jehovoe, Your salvation in harmony with your promise
"BECAUSE HE HAS AFFECTION FOR ME." Psalm 119:41 The psalmist thus shows that God's love for us would certainly move Him to bring us salvation through His judgement, in harmony with many such promises in His word. Psalm 91, evidently written by Moses, says this in verses 14-16: "God said: “Because he has affection for me, I will rescue him. I will protect him because he knows my name. 15 He will call on me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in distress. I will rescue him and glorify him. 16 I will satisfy him with long life, And I will cause him to see my acts of salvation.” All this because of our affectionate love for Jehovoe, shown by our loyal obedience to Him (1John 5:3). Such an attachment to God personally, a close relationship with Him, moves Jehovoe to respond loyally in return. "Draw close to God and He will draw close to you..." says James 4:8. Accordingly, our hope of salvation is thereby strengthened.
Verse 44 I will keep your law constantly, Forever and ever.
WRITING GOD'S LAW ON OUR HEART. Psalm 119:44 Acquiring such integrity brings genuine joy of heart, being close to God, along with other devoted ones, moving us to want to experience such happiness "forever and ever," by keeping God's law "constantly." By thus making God's law OUR law, writing God's law on our heart, we are always able to live in a way that pleases God! Jehovoe speaks at Jeremiah 31:33-34 regarding His law, saying of Israel: "For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” declares Jehovoe. “I will put my law within them, and in their heart I will write it. And I will become their God, and they will become my people.”34 “And they will no longer teach each one his neighbor and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know Jehovoe!’ for they will all know me, from the least to the greatest of them,” declares Jehovoe. “For I will forgive their error, and I will no longer remember their sin.” And at Galatians 6:16, Paul's inspired words refer to true Christianity, in saying: "As for all those who walk orderly by this rule of conduct, peace and mercy be upon them, yes, upon the Israel of God." May we find such delight as did the psalmist, and "get a firm hold on the real life," the everlasting life promised by our Creator, Jehovoe, "to those who continue loving Him." (1Timo 6:19; James 1:12).
Verse 47 I am fond of your commandments, Yes, I love them.
GIVEN OUT OF GREAT LOVE. Psalm 119:47 What a lovely simple expression of appreciation for God's law! Jehovoe has given His commandments out of His great love for us, to do what is in our best interests, what leads to our greatest happiness! Isaiah 48:17-18 says, for instance, "This is what Jehovoe says, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “I, Jehovoe, am your God, The One teaching you to benefit yourself, The One guiding you in the way you should walk. 18 If only you would pay attention to my commandments! Then your peace would become just like a river And your righteousness like the waves of the sea." By thus "paying attention" to God's commandments, we can, like the psalmist, come to love them and keep them, with loyalty, and with strengthened hope of salvation by God!
_____Ps119[5]
Recall the theme for stanza 7:
GOD'S LAW AND WORD OF PROMISE ARE RELIABLE AND TRUSTWORTHY.
Verses 49, 50, and 56 helps us appreciate this truth, as the psalmist experienced it for himself. These verses follow, with their associated comments:
Verse 49: Remember your word to your servant, Through which you give me hope.
THE GOD OF HOPE. Psalm 119:49 This future king evidently received a word of promise from Jehovoe, which helped to sustain him through difficult times. Of course, God's word the Bible is filled with hope-inspiring promises from God. Hope is vital to all, and God is eager for people to look to Him with hope in His blessing and salvation by seeking faithfulness to Him. In fact, a primary reason God's word the Bible has been provided to humans is that "we might have hope." Romans 15:4 says: "For all the things that were written beforehand were written for our instruction, so that through our endurance and through the comfort from the Scriptures we might have hope." After Adam's sin, it took Jehovoe almost no time at all to provide hope to the human family of a restoration of God's purpose, with the prophecy recorded in Genesis 3:15. Thus Jehovoe is keenly aware of our need for this. May we likewise be quick to provide comfort to one lacking hope, if only they may turn to the God of hope, Jehovoe. Psalm 146:5 says "Happy is the one who has the God of Jacob as his helper, Whose hope is in Jehovoe his God."
Verse 50: This is my comfort in my tribulation, For your saying has preserved me alive.
GOD'S TRUTH CAN PRESERVE LIFE. Psalm 119:50 Thus, God's reliable word of promise provides us with genuine comfort in difficult times, when we, like the psalmist, may suffer tribulation in some form. Whatever "saying" he has reference to, it is nevertheless true that God's word and law protects us in many ways from harm as we heed it's instruction and guidance. Following God's word, for instance, preserved alive Noah and his family, and the human race, when Jehovoe brought the promised deluge upon a violent, evil society of humans whom God said had "ruined it way" on planet Earth (Genes 6:11-12). Today, there is much to harm humans physically and spiritually, which may include our mental and emotional well-being. God warns us against much harm with wise counsel and His "saying," or word of truth, which may at times even 'preserve us alive' by our following it.
The psalmist strove to keep God's commandments, and accordingly said this, in verse 56:
Verse 56 This has been my practice Because I have observed your orders.
KEEPING GOD FIRST. Psalm 119:56 Observing God's orders cause "the heart to rejoice," as God gives us rewarding activities to focus our attention on to help accomplish His will. (Psalm 19:8). It is as David sang at Psalm 23:5-6 "...My cup is well-filled. 6 Surely goodness and loyal love will pursue me all the days of my life, And I will dwell in the house of Jehovoe for all my days." The psalmist made it a practice to do the things necessary to maintain his hold on God's law, because he followed God's orders, and these helped him to maintain soundness of mind, keeping his priorities straight in life. When we put God first in life, doing as He instructs, other things seem to fall into place--we're able to get more accomplished than we may realize. Philippians 4:13 says "For all things I have the strength through the one who gives me power." And in reference to the order for Christians to share divine light, God's word mentions, at 2Corinthians 4:7 "However, we have this treasure ["the glorious knowledge of God"] in earthen vessels (or, clay pots), so that the power beyond what is normal may be God’s and not from us." May we thus diligently seek God's commands through Christ, relying upon God for the power to keep them, assisting us in drawing close to God and proving a blessing to fellow humans.

Stanza 8, Verses 57-64:
Theme: CLOSENESS TO GOD AND DIVINE FAVOR WORTH EVERY EFFORT TO MAINTAIN!
Verses 58,63-64 say this: "58 I appeal to you with all my heart; Show me favor according to your promise...63 I am a friend of all who fear you and of those who keep your orders. 64 Your loyal love, O Jehovoe, fills the earth; Teach me your instructions." The psalmist appeals to God 'with all his heart'--making every effort to please God, to receive His favor and approval. What command of the Law highlighted by Jehosha/Jesus might this bring to mind? Also, putting God first brings many blessings, such as joyful association with those with similar appreciation for God! Let's consider how this is so, and how we may further receive God's instructions for our eternal happiness!
Psalm 119 stanza 9, verses 65-72: The theme we will consider is:
GOD'S DISCIPLINE IS GOOD FOR US, HELPING US TREASURE GOD'S PRICELESS LAW.
Verses 67-68, and 71-72 underscore this theme. Verse 67 says "Before I was afflicted, I used to go astray, But now I keep your saying." Experiencing difficulties may help us learn the value of godly obedience. Verse 68 says "You are good and your works are good. Teach me your regulations." What are some of the evidences of God's goodness and creative handiwork? Might these help motivate us to learn God's instructions for life? Verse 71 says "It is good that I have been afflicted, So that I may learn your regulations." Along with His abundant goodness, God's loving correction may also move us to be obedient, even if we've had to suffer consequences of wrongdoing. Also, why is God's law so priceless?
Psalm 119 stanza 10, verses 73-80:
Theme: SUBMISSION TO GOD'S DISCIPLINE PLACES US IN HIS HANDS TO EXPERIENCE HIS FAITHFULNESS.
Verses 75,77, and 80 highlight this theme. Verse 75 says "I know, O Jehovoe, that your judgements are righteous And that you have afflicted me in your faithfulness." The psalmist, as a future king, came under more of God's discipline than most, needing refinement to carry out God's will fully. How is it that those receiving sonship to rule with this Christ also need strong discipline from God? Verse 77 says "Show me mercy, so that I may keep living, For I am fond of your law." The psalmist thus no doubt recognized human imperfection, and the need for God's mercy to maintain a relationship with Him. What words of Moses may remind us of the connection between life and obedience to God? Verse 80 says "May my heart be blameless in following your regulations, So that I may not be put to shame." The psalmist requests a heart of integrity. Why can seeking divine obedience bring increasing happiness?
Psalm 119 stanza 11, verses 81-88:
THeme: GOD'S RELIABLE ORDERS HELP PRESERVE US THROUGH PERIODS OF PERSECUTION.
Despite difficulties, we can remember God's detailed guidance, commandments, orders, and reminders. Even through slanderous lies, God's orders are a protection. Verses 81,84, and 86-87 help us in this. Verse 81 says "I long for your salvation, For your word is my hope." Jehosha/Jesus said those persecuted for doing right wlll receive the Kingdom of the Heavens--either as corulers with Christ or as happy subjects under it's rule. How does Jehovoe God feel about those so persecuted? Verse 84 says "How many days must your servant wait? When will you bring judgement against those persecuting me?" Notice his faith in God's judgement, will and power to act in his behalf. How might such move wrongdoers to respond to God's correction? Verse 86 says "All your commandments are trustworthy. Men persecute me without cause; help me!" Again, what faith in God's reliable commands. Might we nevertheless be persecuted "without cause?" And verse 87 says "They almost exterminated me from the earth, But I did not abandon your orders." Thus may we be protected from lasting harm.
We should find many encouraging thoughts as we consider these and other verses over the next several days!

The preview for all of stanza 8 is this:
Verses 58,63-64 say this: "58 I appeal to you with all my heart; Show me favor according to your promise...63 I am a friend of all who revere you and of those who keep your orders. 64 Your loyal love, O Jehovoe, fills the earth; Teach me your instructions." The psalmist appeals to God 'with all his heart'--making every effort to please God, to receive His favor and approval. What command of the Law highlighted by Jesus might this bring to mind? Also, putting God first brings many blessings, such as joyful association with those with similar appreciation for God! Let's consider how this is so, and how we may further receive God's instructions for our eternal happiness!
In the first half of stanza 8, we see that the psalmist yearns to stay close to God, keeping His commandments. Verses 57-60 read this way: "Jehovoe is my portion; I have promised to keep your words. 58 I appeal to you with all my heart; Show me favor according to your promise. 59 I have examined my ways, In order to turn my feet back to your reminders. 60 I hurry and do not delay To keep your commandments."
Verse 57: Jehovoe is my portion; I have promised to keep your words.
REWARDS OF OBEDIENCE. Psalm 119:57 The psalmist evidently wanted the close relationship with God that the Levitical priests seemed to have. They received no land allotment as with the other tribes--Jehovoe was their "portion" or "inheritance." At Deuteronomy 10:8-9, we read about the Levites: "At that time Jehovoe set apart the tribe of Leʹvi to carry the ark of Jehovoe’s covenant, to stand before Jehovoe in order to minister to him, and to bless in his name, as they do to this day.9 That is why Leʹvi has no share or inheritance with his brothers. Jehovoe is his inheritance, just as Jehovoe your God had said to him." Though likely not a Levite, the psalmist claims Jehovoe as his portion due to his loyalty and determination, even "promise," to "keep [His] words." Anointed to become king, David no doubt had experienced the joy that comes with obedience to God, confident of the rewards of faithfulness, and devoted His life to Jehovoe, just as many do who have dedicated their life to God and have symbolized it by water baptism.
Verse 58: I appeal to you with all my heart; Show me favor according to your promise.
HELP OTHERS BE FAITHFUL TO GOD. Psalm 119:58 The psalmist makes every effort to please His God, to receive His favor and approval, appealing to Him "with all [his] heart." This may remind you of Jehosha/Jesus' designation of the greatest commandments of the Law, as revealed at Matthew 22:37-40: "He said to him: “‘You must love Jehovoe your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind.’38 This is the greatest and first commandment. 39 The second, like it, is this: ‘You must love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments the whole Law hangs, and the Prophets.” As important as it is to love people, here we see loving God takes priority. Jehovoe God has the greatest capacity for love, it being His greatest quality. (1John 4:8). It is Jehovoe's part in a marriage that can make it a steadfast bond, not easily broken, as Ecclesiastes 4:12 states: "And someone may overpower one alone, but two together can take a stand against him. And a threefold cord cannot quickly be torn apart." Thus the greatest love one can show to his or her spouse is by helping each other be loyal and faithful to God. Then, by God's command, they should love one another, becoming "one flesh." (Genes 2:24).
Verse 59: I have examined my ways, In order to turn my feet back to your reminders.
MAKE ADJUSTMENTS AS NEEDED. Psalm 119:59 God's reminders help us reflect upon our ways and practices, to ensure they are in harmony with God's will. At times, upon such reflection, we will see the need to make adjustments in our priorities, or our routine habits, or the way we handle certain things. May we always show willingness to "be readjusted" by God's loving reminders. 2Corinthians 13:11 thus exhorts: "Finally, brothers, continue to rejoice, to be readjusted, to be comforted, to think in agreement, to live peaceably; and the God of love and of peace will be with you."
Verse 60 I hurry and do not delay To keep your commandments."
DO NOT HESITATE TO OBEY GOD! Psalm 119:60 The psalmist showed a keen sense of priorities, and soundness of mind, by appreciating the urgency and importance of keeping God's commandments. Mundane things should not prevent us from doing so. When we put God first in life, other things seem to fall into place. We may receive "power beyond what is normal" to accomplish God's will, sometimes with spirit enough left over for other things bringing true joy. (2Cori 4:7). May we, likewise, not hesitate to do as God has commanded us, and learning to prioritize our activities in life, making sure God is kept first in our lives. Thus we may maintain His favor and blessing, being rewarded for our loyalty and faithfulness!
_____Ps119[8]
PS119 (5PS13) STANZA 8B
Recall the theme for all of stanza 8: CLOSENESS TO GOD AND DIVINE FAVOR WORTH EVERY EFFORT TO MAINTAIN.
Verse 58 for instance pleads "I appeal to you with all my heart; Show me favor according to your promise." Verses 61-64 read: "The ropes of the corrupt surround me, But your law I do not forget. 62 At midnight I get up to give you thanks For your upright judgements. 63 I am a friend of all who revere you And of those who keep your orders. 64 Your loyal love, O Jehovoe, fills the earth; Teach me your instructions."
Verse 61 The ropes of the corrupt (or, ungodly) surround me, But your law I do not forget.
REMEMBER GOD'S LAW. Psalm 119:61 Even if lawless ones seem to have us "cornered," may we remember God's law, like the psalmist. Keep in mind, our love is both ways, for God and humans. It is not only God's love for us, but our love for Him, which we show by keeping His commandments. As 1John 5:3 says "This is what the love of God means, that we observe His commandments, and yet His commandments are not burdensome." Likewise, it is not only the love of other humans for us--we should be unsefishly loving others, acting as an extension of God's hand in kind acts and loyal patience in dealing with our neighbors. Such love, however, may take time to cultivate, with appreciation for God's love, as well as faith, or thankful trust, in Him and His son, as a foundation for Christian discipleship, imitating the way Jehosha'/Jesus honored God and loved others, while seeking purity of heart and maintaining a humble view of ourselves. (Colos 3:12). If "cornered" in some otherwise common trial, there may be only one right way of "escape"--maintaining firm obedience to God--prayerfully look for the "way out" God makes available for you to endure your trial faithfully, with integrity (1Cori 10:13).
Verse 62 At midnight I get up to give you thanks For your righteous judgements.
ALWAYS PLEASING HIM. Psalm 119:62 Recall God's word emphasizes His "faithfulness during the nights." God's "righteous judgments" demonstrate His faithfulness toward humans, as He is loyal to His own right standards. When He judges, or evaluates a situation, He decides according to what is right, just, fair and true. How thankful we should be for God's adherence to righteousness--His own integrity! And may we imitate such integrity in our own life, seeking always to please Him by doing right ourselves. At John 8:29, we read of Jeohsha'/Jesus: "And the One who sent me is with me; he did not abandon me to myself, because I always do the things pleasing to him.”
Verse 63 I am a friend of all who revere you And of those who keep your orders.
UNITED BY GOD OF PEACE. Psalm 119:63 Here is another joy of loving God first and serving Him faithfully--we may find delightful association with others who are equally devoted to Jeohvoe', holding to His standards. The genuine fear of God is not a morbid one--while respecting His greatness and power, we fear displeasing or hurting Him, wanting nothing to hinder His love. Thus, godly fear (or, awe) and love are spoken of together in the Scriptures. (Deute 10:12; Psalm 103:11). It is ONLY by the united loyalty to Jehovoe God that genuine peace and love can flourish, having His support and blessing! Proverbs 10:22 reminds us: "It is the blessing of Jehovoe that makes one rich, And He adds no pain with it." Psalm 133:1 expresses the result, in saying: "Look! How good and how pleasant it is For brothers to dwell together in unity!" Together, we treasure loyalty and faithfulness to God, shown by our obedience.
Verse 64 Your loyal love, O Jehovoe, fills the earth; Teach me your instructions.
JEHOVOE, EVER SHOWING LOYAL LOVE. Psalm 119:64 Jehovoe has shown much love to all mankind, as evidenced by His grand and loving creative hand in the way He made us and this planet. Also, He is ever showing love to all, and especially to His faithful people, daily, throughout the earth. This is doubtless part of the 'work' Christ Jesus had reference to, when he said, as recorded at John 5:17, "My Father has kept working until now, and I keep working.” Along with His son, He will continue to help as many as possible choose the path of eternal life with His blessing. Thus Jehovoe's loyal love "fills the earth!" Thus may we be moved, like the psalmist, to learn and follow even the detailed instructions from God, that God's will and work may be carried out to His honor and glory, and our eternal happiness.
_____Ps119[9]
PSALM 119 STANZA 9A
The theme for stanza 9 is: GOD’S DISCIPLINE IS GOOD FOR US, HELPING US TREASURE HIS PRICELESS LAW.
Verses 65-68 read this way: “65 You have dealt well with your servant, O Jehovoe, according to your word. 66 Teach me good sense and knowledge, For I have put my trust in your commandments. 67 Before my tribulation, I used to go astray, But now I keep your saying. 68 You are good and your works are good. Teach me your instructions.”
Verse 65: You have dealt well with your servant, O Jehovoe, according to your word.
JEHOVOE'S GOODNESS, LOYALTY. (:65) How thankful we can be to be able to know God’s personality and ways by means of His word, the Holy Bible. The psalmist acknowledges in his experience that God fully acts in harmony with it, dealing with him just as His word explains. For instance, Psalm 86:5 says: “ 5 For you, O Jehovoe, are good and ready to forgive; You abound in loyal love for all those who call on you.” And Psalm 18:25 says: “25 With someone loyal you act in loyalty; With the blameless man you deal blamelessly.” May we appreciate God’s fair and just dealings with mankind, not blaming Him for things that aren’t truly His responsibility. Recall our perfect ancestors, at Satan's instigation, left God’s divine favor and blessing, raising the issue of God's Sovereignty and bringing a world of much ungodly human experimentation, with sin, sickness, and death. (Genesis 3). We still feel the effects of that decision, but God’s Kingdom has begun to bring relief, and is poised to usher in greater blessings in accord with God’s will to fulfill His original purpose toward humans. Perhaps those with ruling authority may submit themselves to the wise guidance of God’s word, supportive of God’s incoming Kingdom, and thereby support the happiness and everlasting life prospects of all those under their care!
Verse 66: Teach me good sense and knowledge, For I have put my trust in your commandments.
GAINING "GOOD SENSE."
(:66) The psalmist places his trust in God’s commandments, which Psalm 19 says are “clean,” and “enlighten the eyes.” [Psalm 19:8, AMP]. Thus by heeding them one is better able to see and discern Bible truth, and acquire “good sense and knowledge.” It was Abigail that David commended for showing “good sense” by interceding for her senseless husband, Nabal, who cursed and faulted upright David, who had done him no wrong. She prepared food and other provisions for David’s men, at his request. God judged Nabal adversely for his gross disrespect. Thus, “good sense” moves one to act wisely, make good judgments, recognizing priorities with a sound mind, and using knowledge judiciously, and with a loving motive. The psalmist requested God to teach him such qualities, on the basis of his proper regard for God’s commandments. Likewise, we too can make such a request, in harmony with James 1:5-6, as God is generous to share true wisdom to any who are lacking, and who ask in faith, with deep, thankful trust in God’s desire and willingness to help.
Verse 67: Before my tribulation, I used to go astray, But now I keep your saying.
SPARED HEARTACHE. (:67) God may have allowed the psalmist to face difficulties so that he might learn obedience, as did Christ, through “the things he suffered.” (Hebre 5:8). Adherence to God’s law spares us much heartache and trouble from the consequences of wrongdoing. The psalmist here learned the lesson, and came to appreciate the value of God’s loving guidance and correction.
Verse 68: You are good and your works are good. Teach me your instructions.
EVIDENCE OF GOD'S LOVE. (:68) Thus, Jehovoe’s works are in harmony with His personality—they are a manifestation of His great love, wisdom, power, and sense of justice. His primary quality, according to His word, is love. While God HAS the other qualities, it is only love that He IS. (1John 4:8,16). Therefore, we can expect His works, past, present, and future to primarily manifest this quality. Can we not see this in God’s works of creation? The way humans have been made ‘in God’s image,’ to be able to think, reason, draw conclusions, work with our hands, move with our feet, laugh, and enjoy living—can we not appreciate our Great Designer? How much work did God accomplish to make possible all the things humans are capable of doing? Could it really just come about by chance? What about all that went into the animal creation, with the delightful experiences of watching kittens or puppies at play, seeing squirrels or other acrobatic creatures amaze us with their feats of skill, witnessing a bird’s talented flight or listening to birdsong? What about the sights and aromas of beautiful flowers or blossoming trees in springtime? Then being able to share such times with friends and loved ones, delighting in conversation over meals and other enjoyable activities—can our appreciation and love for God not continue to grow as we contemplate His uncountably numerous kindnesses manifested toward the human family? Yes, Jehovoe is good and His works are good! Like the psalmist, may we thus be moved to willingly learn from God even His detailed guidance for us, that we may know how to live and support the doing of His will and good purpose.
_____Ps119[10]
PSALM 119 STANZA 9B
Verses 69-72 read like this: “69 The presumptuous (crossing boundaries) smear me with lies, But I observe your orders with all my heart. 70 Their heart is insensitive, But I am fond of your law. 71 It is good that I have been troubled, So that I may learn your instructions. 72 The law that you have proclaimed is good for me, More so than thousands of pieces of gold and silver.”
Verse 69: The presumptuous (crossing boundaries) smear me with lies, But I observe your orders with all my heart.
RECOGNIZE GOD'S ORDERS. (:69) Recall the “presumptuous” arrogantly ignore due limits, presuming authority they have no right to. In this case, they brazenly commit the same sin that the serpent used, misleading the human family in the Garden of Eden, the “Park of Pleasure” that God wanted our first parents to oversee the spread of in the making of an earth-wide Paradise. He chose to slander God, smearing Him with lies. He spoke to Eve as if God was lying to her about the results of eating from the tree God warned them against. God always has good reason when warning humans against something, if we only trust Him. The term "knowledge" indicates at least some familiarity. The “knowledge of good and evil,” and any ignoring of God's determination as to which is which, has not brought mankind the happiness the serpent claimed it would. On the other hand, the time allowed has shown that God’s way of truth, upholding what is genuinely good and right, is the most beneficial course in life, as the psalmist recognizes. Despite the lies used against him, he whole-heartedly clings to God’s orders. May we appreciate especially God’s most serious and urgent commands, that we may maintain keen spiritual vision in spite of opposition.
Verse 70: Their heart is insensitive, But I am fond of your law.
HATING BADNESS, PURSUE GOOD. (:70) The heart of such presumptuous ones is callous, unfeeling toward others, largely void of compassion as to the feelings of those they hurt, or of God himself. Spurred on by wrong desire, such things as selfishness, greed, and jealousy foster little regard for others, and can lead to hateful actions, such as the slanderous attacks mentioned by the psalmist. They should be checking and assessing their wrong desires, in line with the principle stated in God’s word at Proverbs 10:2 “The treasures gained by crookedness will be of no benefit, But righteousness is what rescues from death.” Thus, all should learn to hate such badness, that brings no lasting benefit nor God’s blessing. Recall Proverbs 10:22 which says “It is the blessing of Jehovoe that makes one rich, And He adds no pain with it.” How much better to look for the blessing of God on our activities, by pursuing right and good desires, benefitting others and ourselves, and to become truly “rich” with endless rewards. We can thus develop a fondness for God’s word and law, in harmony with His love, that encourages good traits, such as compassion, kindness, and mercy.
Verse 71: It is good that I have been troubled, So that I may learn your [instructions].
GOD'S LAW A PROTECTION. (:71) Similar to verse 67, the psalmist looks back on times of difficulty, as disciplining him toward godly obedience. He came to recognize God’s law as a protection from the stain and pain of wrong conduct. He learned God’s instructions, even detailed guidance, that he might keep it, finding and maintaining God’s approval, favor, and blessing. Happily, Jehovoe can forgive past error, even making such mistakes “white like snow.” (Isaiah 1:18). Still, there can be consequences that ones have to live with for serious transgressions, just as David suffered many family troubles for his sins. How much better to appreciate God’s goodness, accepting His loving correction to begin with, choosing to live in accord with His standards!
Verse 72: The law that you have proclaimed is good for me, More so than thousands of pieces of gold and silver.
GOD'S LAW PRICELESS, LIFE-SUSTAINING. (:72) Here the stanza is summed up with an evaluation of God’s law—truly priceless! The psalmist has shown over several stanzas the benefits of keeping it whole-heartedly—remaining in a close relationship with God, and usually being respected by most God-fearing persons. He recognized God’s law as good, not just for others, but for him personally, moving him to value it more than money. Ecclesiastes 7:12 says “The advantage of knowledge is this: Wisdom preserves the life of its owner.” This in no way diminishes the rightful place money has in each one's life. The keeping of God's law is what brings God's blessing, which makes one rich, whether as a person or nation among others. By valuing God's law above money, we thus are moved to uphold true godly justice when it comes to such matters including financial or business. Still, money, while necessary, cannot buy eternal life or true happiness, as God’s word clarifies. Therefore may we come to see what is of greatest value in life, and maintain a balanced view such as God desires.

Update to Persistent Article (PA), 1A) A Word At It's Right Time, and Good Humor. (y.926Min ,oA16Thu 7:39-40,46,50 am; 2:58; 3:11,33 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! I intended to post earlier, ask for prayers again on things taking place as they rightly should, with God's blessing. Real effort to make things right, His way, will be blessed by Him and help get us back on track, or keep us on track for restored peace, the kind of peace former President Ronald Reagan and others did much to help move us toward by the hand of God or His Son above, Jesus Christ. We have been close to having this peace, and greater, worldwide, and many by God's spirit have been working together with me toward this, really all cooperating with God's will for a truly peaceful world! Still, may prayers continue that the true President of the United States, the true winner of the 2024 Presidential election, which was not Donald Trump, can become known as such, being blessed by God to be or become as this one should be and still can be, with at least gradual acknowledgement of the truth as it becomes more known or clear to the many truthlovers and supporters in our nation, our public, the world, our government, our news media, and so on. ALSO, I've added a new article under Persistent Articles, entitled: A Word At It's Right Time, and Good Humor . Highlighting posts, etc. (y.924Fwn,oA14Tue 5:08; 7:26 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well!

(y.923Clm,oA13Mon 10:05 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Praise to God through His Son above, Prince or Ruler of Peace, and King of Kings, for any contributions made to 'making wars cease'. Let your prayers continue that the peace process continue in Gaza, that aid flows in again for the people, as children of God there, and for God's blessing on all sides for their efforts toward a peaceful world.

Update, par. 1. Also, update to (1A) Golden Apples, Free Will article. (d.702Moo, f718Fri 6:16,20 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! I apologize that I let the podcast this week take time away from posting like I would otherwise do. It is time as well for the new blogposts, moving into the 7th month of the 400-day, extending through the middle of the 8th month with this current format. Thus much will be retained, with the ongoing material continued into the new blogposts. If you wish, please use this time to review anything else you might benefit from, and there still is an additional article or two not on these pages that I plan to post soon to the new. I may post some of the podcast in text format later, perhaps the first episode for those interested in the week's theme and introduction. (d.632Fan, f715Tue 7:55; 8:09 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Added (4B) Psalm 119 Stanza 13. Also current podcast on Spotify, etc. is W59 w0865-69 Addressing Some Current Issues--How? May post text of episode 1... (d.629Thd, f712Sat 8:01,03,08,17 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Slight updates to PA, (1A) GA article Names of God and Christ. (d.628Wnd, f711Fri 10:41 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Added to PA (8-2) More Orderly Time article, paragraph just before Month 5, starting "NOW" about recommended adjustment to monthnames 2-4. (d.627Trs, 710Thu 6:58-7:01,19,41; 8:24 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! I apologize for the delay, I expect to get back to my punctuality that I was known for, throughout my 2020 election year, for example, and afterward, with God's continued blessing! NOTE : As you may realize, I've continued this blogset based on the 400-day calendar (the true one, astronomically, meteorologically, scientifically, etc.), and hopefully which we will acknowledge here, as many localities and regions here in the United States were doing for much time last year! There was some confusion about the reality of this or the connections to my Come to Consensus article, referring to it as the 8-Day Calendar, having God's blessing on new sets of month- and daynames that carry real meaning into our lives, benefitting us more, and underscoring God's interest and love for us. I'm looking to post a few more articles, some Persistent Articles, which I think will replace the Persistent/Introductory Posts designation. Thus PA's will usually be articles that may benefit more people, or benefit people more, in some way, with God's blessing. The full 8-Day Calendar article, as a CTC article, is one I actually thought was posted already this blog cycle, but I wish to post soon today, although it is available on the last blog 3C/8C. I want to review before posting on 4C/8C, blogpost 3 (the C in 4C/8C). I may change referring to blogpost 3 to blogpost C. I may also update the wording of the Educational Note on blogpost 3/C. Update, but article still coming. Article is there, under PA's (Persistent Articles) on blogpost 3/C, as (8-2). There are still other articles I wish to include in the next few days...I've updated that article, month 1, and more updates are possible. (d.626Mnd, 709Wed 8:45-46 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Added (3) Proverbs A, chapter 5, verses 1-6, PR-A(5.1). (d.625Rih, 708Tue 6:17,38 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Added (4B) Psalm 119 Stanza 12-14 Preview, and Stanza 12 Commentary. Update, format, etc. Update, v.91. (d.623Psm, 706Sun 8:08,35; 9:03,08,46,58 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Added to (8B) WGA-B, GA(403), adding to. Added. Update. Formatting, clarity on (8B) location. (d.621Hvn, f704Fri 10:58-59 am; 8:18,28,36; 9:05 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well and a happy sorta 4th! I've completed the text of the podcast Winit500 theme of last November, w0840-44 U.S. Election for President, 2024. It is in the list under (1B) the Win-it Minute Series work., podcast available on Spotify, elsewhere. Also, don't forget about the Significantly Revised article, What It Means To Be Righteous or Upright, on the Top Menu above. Let's continue to look to God and Christ above, as we navigate current circumstances--there is much we can accomplish together when we look above and stand for what's true and right, and what the Founders of our Nation stood for, the same, and looking for God's blessing for things to be as they should. Let's not assume that just because someone may want us to believe a lie, that we just need to go along with it--that's not who we are! Americans across our nation voted, elected me President of the United States, for good reason, and I'm the one blessed by God to be so, doing what I can despite our circumstances--recall that Donald Trump acknowledged at one point that he was not the President of the United States, but seems to have managed to sweep that under the carpet somehow. Nevertheless we want the best for all, recognizing God's love for all, but we also want our Nation truly as it Should Be, and as GOD will blessing it to Become! ALSO POSTED (7) Proverbs B Commentary, chapter 11 conclusion, verses 27-31! (d.620Wdn, f703Thu 8:03 am; 9:38,55,58; 10:50 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Posted (1B) Winit500, text of Episode 2, w0841 U.S. Election for President, 2024. W5a w0840- under Win-it Minute Series below. NOW also the REVISED ARTICLE, What It Means To Be Righteous or Upright. Titles. Some correction. (d.619Too, f702Wed 9:59 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Posted (3) Proverbs A, chapter 4, verses 24-27, concluding chapter 4. (d.618Moo, f701Tue 7:08-09,15,31,44,48,58; 8:03 am; 7:17,59 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Got the Podcast Episode 1 Text posted from yesterday, on the W5a w0840-44 U.S. Election for President 2024, listed under the (1B) Win-it Minute Series, explaining how Donald was attempting to defraud the public by claiming victory in the Presidential election, covering the TRUE results of the election by America. Later, however, as addressed in a later podcast, and after still staging an inauguration, he was willing at one point to be honest with the American people and admit that he was "not the President of the United States", as many who voted for me (and Washington, etc.) hopefully are coming to realize. I've also posted the 2025 Claim to Presidency text in the main body of Winit5to9 Posts, with the more recent Harvard and Issue of Government posts to follow sometime. Formatting, text accuracy. Now also, posted (7) Proverbs B, PR-B(11.5) chapter 11, verses 22-26. Formatting. (d.617Son, f630Mon 5:33-34; 8:56,58; 9:53; 10:22,36,48 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! I've moved last year's podcast from after the 2024 November election to the top of my Find Life And See Podcast on Spotify, W5a w0840-44 U.S. Election for President 2024. I have a place for the text of this podcast below, which I intend to begin posting today. NOW please consider carefully (when you are able) the PIP article below, Names of God and Christ, Clarified, for a carefully composed revision! You may also see the Note from yesterday, just below, regarding God's Name. Updates. (d.616Fan, f629Sun 10:16,18,34 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! As I've occasionally referred to, there has been interference by some, trying to corrupt good work or rob me of much of my own work, whether claiming my own website articles or my podcast work, ideas/designs/patents, etc., and especially even my rightful win as President of the United States, after already being the true 46th President of the United States, fully expecting this time to finally make it to the White House, where I can be and do fully what the American people have looked forward and expect me to be and do. Another thing has come to my attention--my work on restoring God's true name. At one point I was clarifying God's name to be JEHOVAHZ, not Jehovalz. Someone with power attempted to take credit for this, and try to cause confusion about JEHOVALZ, which is now understood to be one of the three GODs that make up the Complete JEHOVAHZ. While knowing Him as a GOD of Vows/Valz, altogether He brings things about, especially His will, in many ways, not only by the keeping of Promises. I'll be updating the website accordingly, and the NAMES of God and Christ article, to again reflect this position. I've already updated the recently posted (4B) Psalm 119 Review 4 Stanzas 01-11 to reflect this change. Also now the most recent (3) Proverbs A, PR-A(4.5). Also (7) Proverbs B, PR-B(11.4) Correction.
