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 lawl. 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 lawl. 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 lawl.
ROBBING OF TRUE HAPPINESS. Psalm 119:53 Understandably, those forsaking God's lawl are not only hurting God and themselves, but are hurting others either directly or indirectly. Ignoring or violating God's lawl 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: "[He] 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 lawl, 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 upright 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 fair lawls and limits, 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 lawl.
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, Grow, or Increase" 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 lawl, 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 [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 REVIEW 2 STANZAS 5-7
Recall the theme for stanza 5:
WHOLE-HEARTED OBEDIENCE CAN BE (HAPPILY) CULTIVATED AND SUSTAINED OVER TIME.
Verses 34, 36 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 119:34 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.
Psalm 119:36 Incline my heart to your reminders, Not to selfish gain.
GOD'S REMINDERS PROMOTE UNSELFISHNESS. As we are reminded of God's good guidance in life, we are helped to maintain an obedient course, in harmony with God's laws and standards. We are able to do this with a proper motive of genuine love for God and neighbor. Evidently, as a future king, the psalmist would eventually be in charge of much wealth, yet he refused to focus on "selfish gain," rather using whatever resources he had unselfishly to God's honor and purpose. He knew our primary motive should be godly and unselfish, to experience the joy and peace that only God can give. How important to maintain clean and pure motives, and avoid even thoughts of using other people in some selfish way or even raising them or ourselves up above God in some way for some purpose out of harmony with God's will. Let's thus maintain humility and an honest conscience. Jesus or Jehoshua' warned against devotion to Riches, or really any other God-dishonoring Master, saying at Matthew 6:24 "“No one can slave for two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will stick to the one and despise the other. You cannot slave for God and for Riches." This does not ban wealthiness--rather it is our object of worship that is being discussed. The psalmist thus chooses to worship and slave for God, Jehovoe, still often rewarded materially, rather than seeking only selfish gain by Riches, an often harsh master. (Prove 3:10; 8:21).
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).

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!
_______
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.

PSALM 119 PREVIEW 3 STANZAS 8 THRU 11
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 Jehoshua/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 laws and limits." 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 laws and limits." 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 Jehovoze, 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 laws and limits, 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 specific 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." Jehoshua/Jesus said those persecuted for doing right will receive the Kingdom of the Heavens--either as corulers with Christ or as happy subjects under it's rule. How does Jehovoze 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!

Our theme for all of stanza 8 is: CLOSENESS TO GOD AND DIVINE FAVOR WORTH EVERY EFFORT TO MAINTAIN!

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 Jehovoze, fills the earth; Teach me your instructions."

Let's consider how this is so, and how we may further receive God's instructions for our eternal happiness!
_____
PSALM 119 (5PS13) STANZA 8A
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: "Jehovoze 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--Jehovoze was their "portion" or "inheritance." At Deuteronomy 10:8-9, we read about the Levites: "At that time Jehovoze set apart the tribe of Leʹvi to carry the ark of Jehovoze’s covenant, to stand before Jehovoze 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. Jehovoze is his inheritance, just as Jehovoze your God had said to him." Though likely not a Levite, the psalmist claims Jehovoze 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 Jehovoze, 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 Jehoshua's designation of the greatest commandments of the Law, as revealed at Matthew 22:37-40: "He said to him: “‘You must love Jehovoze 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. Jehovoze God has the greatest capacity for love, it being His greatest quality. (1John 4:8). It is Jehovoze'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, together. 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 (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 crooked surround me, But your lall 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 Jehovoze, fills the earth; Teach me your instructions."
Verse 61 The ropes of the crooked surround me, But your lall I do not forget.
REMEMBER GOD'S LALL. Psalm 119:61 Even if lawless ones seem to have us "cornered," may we remember God's lall, like the psalmist. Keep in mind, our love is both ways, in the case of 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 (they are not 'like a heavy load'). Likewise, it is not only the love of other humans for us--we should be unselfishly 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 Jehoshua/Jesus honored God and loved others, while maintaining purity of heart and a humble view of oneself. (Colos 3:12). If "cornered" in some otherwise common trial, there may be only one right way to endure (until it ends)--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 what is right--His own integrity! And may we imitate such integrity of conduct in our own life, seeking always to please Him by doing right ourselves. At John 8:29, we read of Jeohshua/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 Jehovoze', 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 Jehovoze God that genuine peace and love can flourish, having His support and blessing! Proverbs 10:22 reminds us: "It is the blessing of Jehovoze 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 Jehovoze, fills the earth; Teach me your instructions.
JEHOVOZE', EVER SHOWING LOYAL LOVE. Psalm 119:64 Jehovoze has shown much love to all mankind, as evidenced by His grand and loving creative hand in the way He made our spirit--in the qualities He has given us, and the good relationships we can have. Also, He is ever showing love to all, and especially to those with faith, daily, throughout the earth. This is doubtless part of the 'work' Christ Jehoshua/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 specific instructions from God, that God's will and work may be carried out to His honor and glory, and the eternal happiness of all who will show Him honor.

PSALM 119 STANZA 9A
The theme for stanza 9 is: GOD’S DISCIPLINE IS GOOD FOR US, HELPING US TREASURE HIS PRICELESS LALL.
Verses 65-68 read this way: “65 You have dealt well with your servant, O Jehovoze, 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 Jehovoze', according to your word.
JEHOVOZE'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 Jehovoze', 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 genuinely with ruling authority earthwide 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, ten days later. Thus, “good sense” moves one to act wisely, make good judgements, 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 lall 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 specific guidance for us, that we may know how to live and support the doing of His will and good purpose.
_____Ps119[7]
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 lall. 71 It is good that I have been troubled, So that I may learn your instructions. 72 The lall 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 that 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. The serpent 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 one tree God warned them against out of all of them. 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 wrongdoing will be of no benefit, But integrity (of conduct) 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 Jehovohz' 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 lall, 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 lalls and limits.
GOD'S LALL 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 lall as a protection from the stain and pain of wrong conduct. He learned God’s lalls and limits, even specific guidance, that he might keep it, finding and maintaining God’s approval, favor, and blessing. Happily, Jehovohz 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 lall that you have proclaimed is good for me, More so than thousands of pieces of gold and silver.
GOD'S LALL PRICELESS, LIFE-SUSTAINING. (:72) Here the stanza is summed up with an evaluation of God’s lall—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 lall as good, not just for others, but for him personally, moving him to value it more than money. Ecclesiastes 7:11-12 says “Wisdom is for a protection the same as money is for a protection. 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 lall is what brings God's blessing, which makes one rich, whether as a person or nation among others. By valuing God's lall 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.
_____Ps119[8]
PSALM 119 STANZA 10A
The theme for all of stanza 10 is:
SUBMISSION TO GOD’S DISCIPLINE PLACES US IN HIS HANDS TO EXPERIENCE HIS FAITHFULNESS
Verses 73-76 read this way: “73 Your hands made me and formed me. Give me understanding, So that I may learn your commandments. 74 Those who revere you see me and rejoice, For your word is my hope. 75 I know, O Jehovohz, that your judgements are upright And that you have challenged me in your faithfulness. 76 May your loyal love please comfort me, According to the promise you made to your servant.“
Verse 73: Your hands made me and formed me. Give me understanding, So that I may learn your commandments.
GOD'S LOVING INTERVENTION. (:73) The psalmist acknowledges God’s loving intervention in his life, helped by heeding God’s word, likely from the time of youth. Even if some time passed before learning the value of God’s written word, He may still have lovingly guided us in some ways or at critical times in our life. May we appreciate whatever God has done to encourage us in doing right, and seek the quality of understanding that we may more fully grasp God’s law. This quality enables us to see the big picture of something and how it’s various parts fit together to make the whole of it. Applying this to divine knowledge based on God’s written word enables us to grow in appreciation for God’s commandments, seeing how they relate to our life and the benefits of heeding them.
Verse 74: Those who revere you see me and rejoice, For your word is my hope.
HOPE IN GOD'S WORD. (:74) Those truly revering God likely know that the course of integrity does not mean a lack of problems or challenges in life. Still, those ignoring God’s word have problems as well--they just haven't yet seen the value of God's protective guidance. Of course, our difficulties are temporary, as we maintain our hope in peaceful conditions, around the corner. Even if we’re facing difficult circumstances, we can place our complete trust in God, and rely on His word and law to help us navigate through any hardships faithfully. Showing that upright ones do not live a problem-free life, Psalm 34:19 says: “19 Many are the hardships of the upright one, But JehoVohz' rescues him from them all.” Thus upright ones come to experience God’s salvation through their problems, and this strengthens their faith in God, their integrity, and their hope of future salvation.
Verse 75: I know, O Jehovohz, that your judgements are upright And that you have let me be troubled in your faithfulness.
GOD'S PERMISSION OF DIFFICULTIES. (:75) The psalmist was a future king, and thus perhaps came under more of God’s discipline than most, needing refinement to carry out the will of God fully. Likewise, those receiving sonship to rule with Christ also need God’s loving correction to guide them in receiving their privileged reward from God. Anointed Hebrew Christians at one time were evidently focusing too much on any problems, as Paul sought to correct their view, stating at Hebrews 12:5-6: “5 And you have entirely forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons: “My son, do not belittle the discipline from Jehovohz, nor give up when you are corrected by him; 6 for those whom Jehovohz' loves he disciplines, in fact, he scourges everyone whom he receives as a son.” The psalmist thus felt he was experiencing difficulties that God at least permitted, yet he saw God’s faithfulness in His dealings with him. He knew God’s judgements were righteous, and he could endure in faithfulness, learning from his experiences to observe God’s law fully.
Verse 76: May your loyal love please comfort me, According to the promise you made to your servant.
TRUSTING GOD'S LOYAL LOVE. (:76) Thus in God’s faithfulness we can see or experience His loyal love, which expression reminds us of the loyalty involved in expressing true Christian love toward others, such as in a marriage. This loyalty can patiently put up with a wrong in the strength of God, when another strays somewhat, looking to God for loving ways to correct it, with blazing hope of a restoration of the approved relationship. The psalmist pleads for the comfort of God’s loyal love toward him, as he endures any difficulties, maintaining his hope in the promise God made to Him regarding his kingship, as all should rely on the promises of God’s written word for comfort.
_____Ps119[9]
PSALM 119 STANZA 10B
The first part of stanza 10 included thoughts such as this one: "Your hands made me and formed me. Give me understanding, So that I may learn your commandments...you have troubled me in your faithfulness." (v. 73,75) God allowed him to endure hardship, that he might learn more fully the value of godly obedience.
Verses 77-80 read this way: "Show me mercy, so that I may keep living, For I am fond of your law. 78 May the presumptuous (crossing boundaries) be put to shame, For they wrong me without cause. But I will ponder over your orders. 79 Let those who revere you return to me, Those who know your reminders. 80 May my heart be blameless in following your instructions, So that I may not be put to shame."
Verse 77: Show me mercy, so that I may keep living, For I am fond of your law.
CHOOSE LIFE AND GOOD. (:77) The psalmist no doubt recognized human imperfection, and the need for God's mercy in the maintaining of our relationship with Him. He sought this mercy on the basis of his genuine fondness for God and His law. He knew it means life to be pleasing God--for Christians, eternal life is dependent upon it, and being alive spiritually depends likewise on our friendship with God and His Son. Such thoughts may remind one of Moses' exhortation to Israel, as regards their keeping of the God's Law/Lall, at Deuteronomy 30:15-16: "“See, I do put before you today life and good, and death and bad. 16 If you listen to the commandments of Jehovohz your God that I am commanding you today, by loving Jehovohz your God, by walking in his ways, and by keeping his commandments and his statutes and his rulings, then you will live and multiply, and Jehovohz your God will bless you in the land you are going to possess." For Christians, within the United States and abroad, God's approval and upright standing comes by thankful trust, or faith, in God and his mercy through the ransom provision of Christ, as ones likewise seek obedience to Him and His Son.
Verse 78: May the presumptuous (crossing boundaries) be put to shame, For they wrong me without cause. But I will ponder over your orders.
REPENTANCE VITAL. (:78) On the other hand, are the presumptuous. Ignoring God's righteous standards to achieve their selfish aims, they are not automatically covered by Christ's ransom. Yes, God "does not desire anyone to be eliminated, but desires all to attain to repentance." (2Peter 3:9). Repentance involves a fitting degree of sorrow over past sins, with a turning around to godly obedience. Such repentance is necessary to receiving God's mercy based on the ransom provision. Jehoshua (or, Jesus) likewise concurs, concluding the Sermon on the Mount with an illustration showing the foolishness of not heeding this one's teachings, with the resulting collapse of one's figurative house. (Matth 7:24-27). The presumptuous fail to welcome Christ's genuine brothers (anointed for corulership), instead they are causing them loss. Unless they repent, they will suffer the consequences described at Matthew 25:41-46. The psalmist maintained his determination to keep God's orders despite such false opposition.
Verse 79: Let those who revere you return to me, Those who know your reminders.
LOYAL TO THE GOD OF LOVE. (:79) While those truly revering God usually understand that hardships that can afflict upright ones, sometimes they can be affected by fear of man, as the apostles fled upon being arrested. They might hold back from showing favor, until persecution or opposition lessens. Like Jehoshua (or, Jesus), how vital that we maintain our hope in God first when faced with pressures, trusting Him with our reputation and relationships. The psalmist requested that the favor of God-fearing ones return to him, despite whatever trials he had to face. In harmony with the greatest commandments of the Law, let us remember the love of God FIRST in life, loving Him in part by keeping His law, making true unity possible, and THEN (and which includes) loving our neighbor as ourselves. (Matth 22:36-40). If we are truly loving our neighbor, we will be helping them to love God first, to loyally maintain their integrity of conduct.
Verse 80: May my heart be blameless in following your instructions, So that I may not be put to shame.
"REMAIN STEADFAST." (:80) The psalmist requests a heart of integrity, able to follow even specific guidance from God. Such obedience contributes greatly to our happiness, as the very first verse of Psalm 119 bears out: "Happy are those who are blameless in their way, Who walk in the law of Jehovohz." Regarding the following of God's instructions, verses 5-6 say: "If only I could remain steadfast So as to observe your instructions! 6 Then I would not be put to shame When I consider all your commandments." As we continue having faith in God and His spiritual provisions, seeking divine obedience, we can be happy to find ourselves in compliance with God's standards more and more, having no reason for shame. As David wrote, in Psalm 19, verses 12-13: "Who can discern mistakes? Pronounce me innocent from sins I am unaware of. 13 And hold your servant back from presumptuous acts; Do not let them dominate me. Then I will be complete, And innocent of blatant sins." Thus may we lovingly aim for similar divine obedience, with faith in God's merciful provision of Christ's ransom, and with hope in the priceless reward God extends by His love!

(y.725Rih, 810Sun 1:45; 2:31,40,44,54; 3:19; 11:19,44 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! I've wanted to remind how this week both calendars, old and new, line up between today through Saturday and Salvtuday. Most new daynames have similarity to 7-Day names, yet underscore a purpose for them by God. As regards a way to clarify which calendar is being referenced, there is preference to the y. designation, an early possibility, as the year is to the left of the decimal. Thus y25.725 indicates this day, 2025, the 7th month (Huli) and the 25th day (alternating Sunday, called Righzday, connected to making Rye or Croissant bread, which is naturally possible to make only on this day every two weeks, Rightdoing and the Sun of righteousness, like Sunday still the First day of the week, and Rizing as an early workweek makes possible the Four-Day weekend break to come afterward. So y25.725 is this day (8/10/25). In this first designation method, y25.725 the month is only one character, which is alphanumeric, with months 10, 11, and 12 being designated as capital A,B, and C. It can also be y25.7/25, which allows for the month to be two digits. Thus both y25.11/25 and y25.07/25 would be acceptable. It may be possible that difference could be recognized between 7(8/10/25) and 8(7/25/25), although in the second case the second number, day of the month, will need to be higher than 31. With the y25.725 designation, this could also be y.725 if the year is not necessary, or just 725 if it is something simple where the year doesn't matter, like the date on the lid of a newly opened carton of milk. Also, to keep track of both, sometimes I use y25.725 and add comma, f or p and 810 referring to the 7day calendar date. Also remember that a 3rd transition calendar would help all to relate closer 7-Day calendar dates to new 8-Day calendar dates, but this would call for referencing a 13th month, one week at a time between some months, but eventually also with more than 31 days, although this adjustment may not be needed THIS year for an accurate transition. Recall the SUM More Orderly Time (Possible Months 7-8 Entry) article below, that discusses this time as an entry point to the new calendar, along with half or more of the world seeing God's gift. Again, this entire week lines up between both calendars, so appointments for next week could be discussed or adjusted, either on the same new dayname, the new monday date for the old monday date, or something else depending on the purpose of the meeting, etc. These appointments could be confirmed, if this changeover should take place. In many places last year, both calendars began to be acknowledged among people even here in the U.S., and some decisions were being based on the new calendar more than the old. There is one issue that hasn't been mentioned, and that's pay times as regards a changeover. Weekly pays could take place on a similar day of the week, although alternating between Starzday (first Friday) and Salvtuday (second Saturday), the second day of the normal four-day break, are recommended, the term Salary being originally based on use of Salt, associated with that day. Other reasons have been presented, and proper planning for this can overcome most if not all concern. The other issue is with Monthly payments. Of course many 7th month payments or early 8th month payments have already been made, but a two-week or 16-day difference between the calendars currently, or 18 days in about a week, could call for another payment with the beginning of a new 8th month. The half-month of time that would have passed by then could make possible a half-month's pay amount, then getting on track to a similar pay schedule based on the 8 day calendar. Alternatively, paydates could change on the new calendar from end or start of months to something mid-month, which would keep the money coming out about the same time as before through the changeover, without need for any additional payment. The above information has now been inserted into the SUM More Orderly Months (Possible Months 7-8 Entry) article below. Also, a (8B) Weekly Golden Apples, WGA-B, (B-507) is now posted, on blogpost 3, Election Integrity 2024-2025. Another update to Finding Truth, par. 15. Correction. Update to WGA-B list. (y.724Fwn, 809Sat 3:09 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! I needed to update the article Finding Truth, having been one of my first articles years ago, and I didn't realize there were some statements I used in logic regarding the Trinity teaching that for quite some time I would have not been using, but I had forgotten it was used in this article, and would have been corrected so as not to give a wrong impression, having to do with understanding the term "world" in the Scriptures, which I do address in the more recent article "Finding More Truth". I have updated Finding Truth, and hope that if you questioned anything along those lines in that article, that you look over that portion of it.

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.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!

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.

Notes, Formatting NOTES: (25d.515 Slv, f526 Mon 1:56, 9:41; 10:23 am; 3:41; 6:29 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Updating, I've added posts on blogpost 2, finishing the Ten Commandments and adding a Persistent post of 4B, Psalm 119 Intro of Stanzas 1-4. Also, let me clarify that there are places on the 3 blogposts that are meant to be filled as the half quarter (month and a half) proceeds, and the 3A-C blogposts have not been up all that long. So the move to 4A-C up through month 6 will allow more posts as on the site previously, before the new format. Soon adding two Psalm Selects to the Persistent/Introductory Posts on this blogpage. Posted,both Psalms 1 and 15. Now, added posts to pages 2 and 3. This includes 4A Godz Lawl posts in PIP, Persistent/Introductory Posts, and another Godz Lawl post in segment 4A, on the Golden Rule, also in (5) Eternal Express, on Protecting Peace from Ephesians 4-5, and (6) Golden Bellz, on the Salvtuday dayname recommendation from Saltuday. Also, added the 7) article under the CTC Foundational list, actually the original 5th article, Realities of God's Government and Beneficial Standards, and then to (9) Godlove Home, I added the article Aim to Develop True Loyal Love. Misc. updates. 25d.514Prz,f525Sun 8:53 am; 1:15,29,56; 6:29 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Posted 1B-1 so far the Conclusion of the podcast Proper View of God and Life Rewarding, the episode 5 w0834 having become a theme for my campaign, entitled 'Restore Good - Move Forward'. Also, posted this year's entire podcast, the carryover as Winit5to9, w0850-0854, with the theme: 2025 Claim to Presidency. This is under segment (1B) as 1B-3. Also, yesterday's 13th of Month 5 was Thunderday, a day when you more often will hear thunder as from God, realizing He can lend forth His mighty voice to things taking place, as a God of true justice, reminding us of His power, truth, and love. Still there have been interferences, etc.--NOT all storms are from God. Today's 8-Day Calendar day is the second week's Friday, the first week of two being Starzday, for movie-going, etc, with the second being Prayerzday, which begins a four-day or five-day weekend, a day which could also be used for entering court pleas, etc. Prayers of course help all to maintain closeness to God and His Son, and provisions for life. Also, 1A posts, WGA-A, previous. The reference is 1A-2 Previous GA(1A-102-217) on Presidency, Economy, Tariffs, Govt Cuts, etc. This post is originally from the 2025 2/8 START page (blogpost 1), where it (in 2 posts) may still be found. Correction made to most of those individual posts for this page to match the original reference number format, for technical purposes; I will make that change if appropriate on the next blogpost 4A/8A, planning to carry it over. 25d.513Thd,f524Sat 5:31; 6:20-21,39-40; 7:05 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Posted 1A-3 Golden Apples Post, GA(008) On the Number Eight (8). Included as a Latest GA post. Also soon to come, a Psalm 19 rendition. Posted, as latest and Psalms Post 1, numbered 2.1. Updates Psalm 19, note. 25d.512Wnd,f523Fri 9:18-23; 10:15 am; 9:50-53,55,59; 10:27,33,37; 11;11:08-09,59 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! I've added another post to (1A) WGA-A, after the A-306 from last night, on the Penny news. This one, A-307, is regarding an important lesson from ancient Greece. Again, these are on this blogpost 1 below, under segment 1A (Weekly) Golden Apples. Also now another (3) Proverbs A, PR-A(3.6), chapter 3, verses 31-35, concluding chapter 3. NOTE : Now letting you know I'm planning to fill-in the missing pieces on the 3 blogposts, but possibly just on the new 4A-C/8A-C posts which normally begin from the middle of month 5 through month 6. Most of the work done on 3A-C/8A-C will be carried over into the 4's. Along with adding WGA-A/B posts, planning especially the next 2 days if possible. I could however finish the essentials on the 3A-C's in time for Memorial Day, then carry over most into the 4's to post a day or two later. The reason this may be better is that we, as the United States, should not be ignoring the 8-Day Calendar, which half the world is already on, as a step forward in life, toward a greater world of peace, with God's blessing. After all, it originated here, in the U.S. with God's blessing on me, so why should we consider being the last to begin using it, unless we're helping others to get on it before us, like people getting into lifeboats before the captain of a ship that's slowly sinking, but such an illustration is NOT to apply to us, or in this situation, except for our captains having such genuine concern for those under their care! God's spirit is still with us to straighten things out, and to have a leading role in bringing blessings from God to other countries, even as "one nation under God". Perhaps we may begin thinking in terms of the 8-Day, I could reference the days in an article/post to remind of the purpose of the day, which I believe God is blessing for it's particular purpose that day, whether it's to strengthen our bodies with the right kind of salt intake, or acknowledging that the day might be more windy like today really was here on this Windyday the 12th of the 5th month Agreehelp (Agr). But I realize it would help for me to get where I should, and the true election results regarding the U.S. President to be acknowledged, which was or is not simple due to the AI media control that Donald had over DC, VA, and MD for the last 4-5 years or more, with at least TV, radio, and internet in the region, beginning likely with smaller measures aimed to lessen opposition to his reputation or ideas. Not everyone knew that I was on the ballot in 48 states last November, with much backing across the nation. 25d.511Tro,f522Thu 6:04,07-08,21; 7:11 am; 11:18,53 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Added an Introductory/Persistent Post, Aim to Develop True Loyal Love. More work, including WGA-A/B posts today...Initially prayers that food can continue to get into Palestine, where some 11,000 lives of children and adults are currently being threatened daily, and that love and diplomacy, or mindful and peaceable discussion, be the way, rather than more war or violence. Also, other matters of course need attention. Let love and truth prevail again, as it may rest in our hearts and minds. Added to WGA-A the post (A-306), Last Run of the Penny (As We Know It)? Update. 25d.510Mnd,p521Wed 9:08-09 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Added (3) Proverbs A, chapter 3, verses 27-30. 25d.509Rih,p520Tue 6:41,50 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Added some GA posts.

Posted work from last evening (8B) WGA-B, B-304 post theme: Drive for Clean Energy Can Continue! on blogpost #3. Hoping to be writing again from the real START page, blogpost #1, soon! I'd like to also say, Let's thank God for blessing what we all can do regarding His will, for genuine peace--let's stand for what's true, with God's guidance and love! Some have been seeking their own glory rather than God's, and hurting others in the process, against God's will; May they humble themselves and be honest. We need divine wisdom and God's blessing on all we do! If time, planning to post (4B) Psalm 119 Part 2 of Review within the hour, Stanzas 7-8. Posted! Format update. (25d.504 Wdn, f515 Thu 9:41,50; 10:15-16,23-24,46 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! I've posted Part 1 of the (4) Psalm 119 Stanzas 5-8 Review (Stanzas 5-6), with two good stanza/themes. More of something to come...Posted as LATEST Psalm 119, and format updates. Also now, added (7) PR-B(11.1), Proverbs B, chapter 11 verses 1-5 on blogpost 3. Format change. (25d.502 Moo, f513 Tue 9:38,40-41 am; 9:55,58; 10:03-05,10-11; 11:01 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well, again from the Blogpost #2, not the normal messaging/notes post of the START page, blogpost 1. So much to be considering, knowing where I should be and still aiming to be, but also wanting to, within limits, address things this way, to share, offer insight, etc. Plan to make some progress on these posts today, while giving attention to the important things of our nation, etc. Several things came up, but I did review Commandment #4 of the Ten, which I've posted by itself, without numbers 5-7 yet. Looking for getting up the START page and/or more Golden Apples pieces and WGA posts on what's taking place, whether WGA-B or WGA-A (blogpost 1). Formatting update. Update, further. (25d.501 Son, f512 Mon 11:53 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Updated the Commandments 1-3 of the Ten, specifically #1. (25d.434Lun,f511Sun 10:27,38 am; 4:53; 5:41 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Again this is blogpost 2, not the normal start page, but more notesy for now until it's up! I've updated the Ps119, S08 post(s). Also, this ending of the 4th month of the 8-Day Calendar is the Hymneth long weekend, the days to include the 34th actually get switched up, so that the 30th is (Prz) Prayerzday, 31st (Hym) Hymneth, 32nd (Slt) Saltuday, 33rd (Fan) Fanday, and 34th (Lun) Lunaday. Again, the normal progression in a 33-day month is 30th Prz, 31st Slt, 32nd Fan, 33rd Lun. Now the first 3 of the Ten Commandments has been posted, looking to review before posting remainder. Update. (25d.433Fan,f510Sat 8:01; 9:01,44-45 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well again, on this page! Format basically complete for this Blogpost 2, with the Psalm 119 Stanza 8 A and B parts posted as latest segment 4B post and in the 4B list! The Memorial that many anointed ones haven't yet commemorated this year could take place this Monday evening/night (7-Day Cal.) one month following the normal one, after the example of Hezekiah's delayed Passover. Unleavened bread and red wine are symbolic of pure, genuine instruction and the ransom provision, with faith and associated joy of heart that comes with the aim of wisely keeping divine standards. Jehoshua/Jesus said 'until I drink it new with you..." Meetings that discuss the significance of this occasion and provide for both of these provisions figuratively are one way that the Passover statute in God's law that for Christians became the Memorial commemoration ('Christ our Passover lamb has been sacrificed') can continue to be appreciated and recognized.
Blogpost 3 (7-9) PR-B, CTC, GLH: EPH06P1: Format. Update. Also (9) GLH, Loyal Love article. Update. Added number (7) to CTC Foundational list (orig 5th article). Added (8B) WGA-B post B-304!

Recall addressing you more on this page has been temporary, until completing the new format for all 3 Blogposts, wanting them to display in order, needing to start with the third and work back for this to happen (normally I write most of these notes on Blogpost 1, the START page/post). I've finished with the formatting for this Blogpost 3, and am moving on to the other two! I plan sometime today to have Blogpost 2 started with a Psalm 119 posting from stanza 8, and with it being Saturday on the 7-Day calendar, would recommend the song Back In Time, from the movie Back to the Future, as regards, while being royal, in this case confusion over my election win(s) for President, but getting me where the President should be, especially the true one God is blessing to be so, that I may truly accomplish what the American people voted for me to serve as President and do, looking forward to what God prepared me over much time to be able to do! I've become aware of an adjustment, and am making it, to make two lists on the segment 8, a CTC list and a WGA-B list, rather than mixing them. Complete. (25d.432Fan,f509Fri 8:45,53; 11:46 am; 10:39-40 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! The post of WGA-B, (B-303) now soon to come! Topic is chosen, etc. I apologize again for the delays or the being delayed in various ways, although I aim once again to be more consistent as I had in the past with making posts on thinking and activity. Part of the reason for this has been my continued aims to be where the true U.S. President, blessed by God, should be, as I know many share this important standard that our nation has upheld in most elections throughout it's history! Added the post (B-303), Regarding Department Cuts, Some Excessive...Also posted to Seg.8 LIST (25d.430 Prz,f507 Wed 7:13,15,19 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Improved some things, still upcoming WGA-B post(s), which is a secondary form of the WGA's previously on the start page, moving some to this post on themes not as necessary for the start page content. (25d.428Wnd,f505Mon 9:01,53; 10:13 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Adding the CTC article, fully: Issue after Issue Being Addressed by God's Kingdom: Prejudice and Racism. This is posted as the LATEST CTC POST, as well as the FIRST in the list of CURRENT CTC/WGA-B Posts, as (8.1). More preparation for upcoming WGA-B post(s), under GA(302) WGA-B #1; At least one, GA(303) to be next before ensuing blogpost work... Update to P&R article. Inclusion of Podcast reference. (25d.426Mnd,f503Sat 11:58 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Added the (8-2) Persistent Post of the 8-Day Calendar article, called More Orderly Time, Month and Daynames, revised some! I've again had some interferences, for which I apologize. (25d.424Fwn,501Thu 5:08-09 pm EDT) Hello, and welcome! I've had delays, but posted is now the podcast example policy insertion into the Foundation articles from the Podcast series, WM2, on Pushing Reset: Letting Work Become More Enjoyable, Rewarding! (25d.423Psd,430Wed 8:33 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! More layout of post, aiming for WGA-B posts soon... (d25.422Stz,429Tue 9:37-38,50 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Added to the CTC Foundational articles with the inserted one mentioned previously, helping see the place of government in relation to God and His Kingdom. Also, I've posted one of the Persistent Posts, a CTC on Proper View of Law(l). (25/421Hvn,428Mon 3:27,53; 7:05 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! I know this is blogpost 3, but I'm in the process of preparing to post all 3, and I wanted this third one posted first, so that it appears third in the list after the other two are up. I went ahead and included a few posts on this page, including another (7) Proverbs B (ch 11-20), from chapter 10, verses 28-32, the conclusion of that chapter. Also, the CTC Foundational articles I've been intending to post for a while now, but which were on a previous post from last year, I'm also posting. The CTC Corner (Come to Consensus Corner) Startup post is included, as well as now four of the first 5 articles/policies. There is another newer article I've planned to include among this grouping, believing it's more helpful now to underscore some important things relating God's interest and much-needed blessing on good government, to maintain civilized society, often taken for granted. Up to 4 CTC articles!

(25/416Fan,423Wed, 12:10 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Had a technical issue I believe is now resolved, which slowed me some on the blog while at the same time I was focused on accomplishing other things and still am--I do apologize for the blog delay. I'm working on the new full set of blogposts 1-3, segments 1-9 as previous. All three blogposts are to have a similar format to this one, despite the varying subject matter. I did update the first two articles under Christianity, and am about to add something else to the second article, The Basics. (25/410Min,417Thu, 10:10 am; 5:30 pm EDT) Hello, wishing you well again! Added to the 10 Points with explanation of the change from LGBTQ+ to simply LGTQ, still to be addressing this important issue. It may actually be that simply 3 letters will suffice for the abbreviation, as in GTQ, as Gay had come to represent both male and female gender conditions. This could also possibly be TGQ. (25/408Fwn,p415Tue, 8:20 am EDT) Hello, wishing all well! Added new Proverbs A segment of chapter 3, PR-A(3.4), verses 19-26. I apologize that getting the entire blog up as usual, but with the updated format, is taking time. Still looking to God, asking for prayers, for things to be right, to take place as they should, for everyone's benefit! (25/405Hvn,p412Sat, 7:18-19 pm EDT) Hello! Memorial night, like true Passover, but of Christ's death, the literal and the figurative. You might reflect on the meaning, and read a chapter, perhaps Luke 22, or more, considering lessons. Love of God and His wonderful power and purpose toward mankind, a beautiful and peace-loving world, is made possible! Have faith in the Son, the ransom for forgiveness of sins, and aim for the target of righteousness in your decisions, to honor God and reflect divine wisdom in how you do things, contributing to His will! {Recall that truly anointed ones are to be in attendance to partake, and all were to commemorate on Passover night, honoring God and Christ. Paul also said "As often as" you do this, which can indicate allowance for another month's observance, at least occasionally. It could well be that as anointed ones all reached their new heavenly position, in the secondary application, that the commemoration could consistently involve and recognize a figurative or emblematic eating of spiritual bread, or life-sustaining instruction, as well as drinking of spiritual wine, recognizing Christ's sacrifice and also the rejoicing that wine scripturally signifies, true happiness being made possible with proper understanding and application of God's word and Christianity.} (25/404Wdn,p411Fri, 11:37-38,41 am; 3:27,35 pm EDT) Hello, wishing all well again.
