Various thoughts from the Bible


Just a few thoughts from my daily Bible reading.

From Psalm 119:

v. 109
I am always ready to risk my life;
I have not forgotten your law.

I have to ask myself, “Am I truly ready to risk my life for Jesus?” Surely, if someone came to me, captured me by gun-point and said, “Deny Jesus as Lord or I’ll kill you,” I’d not deny Jesus. But, am I willing to risk my life in day-to-day living and be thought “different” or “weird” or a “Jesus freak” for Him?

Jesus said that he is faithful in little (a little embarrassment in being recognized as one of His) will be entrusted with much.


v. 112
I have decided to obey your laws
until the day I die.


Yeah, now is the time to make such decisions - not “in the heat of the moment” as they say. This is my desire, Lord. To obey you until my last breath.
