PSALM #130

1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

 

   What is this psalm talking about?

   At the very beginning of the network are two words: depth and ascent. God is our Creator, He is love, but today people have everything upside down: they say that there is no God, that our world exists as a result of chance and other things. Therefore, in our world, a person for whom it should be natural to know God and draw closer to Him feels very bad without God: he is empty inside, there is no help, no hope, no future. But even now, when atheism is all around, God calls people and wants to help them. People need to ascend to God. And God takes the initiative, the first step, He comes down to man to help him.

   The subject of the next verse is prayer. Prayer is the whole science of how to talk to God. In prayer, we both glorify God, and thank Him, and ask. Most people don't believe in God because He doesn't give them what they asked for. This must be understood correctly: God sees much more than us, He knows what is good for us, what is bad, as well as things that we will meet on the way. Therefore, we should better study the will of God and ask according to that will.

   That sin exists is a universal tragedy. God is holy and cannot allow sin to exist, and the one who committed the sin must die. Sin has destroyed the harmony in the universe. And if God did not forgive sins and mistakes, there would be no one left on earth, this is required by justice. But besides justice, God also has mercy. This mercy God showed by the atonement of sins in Jesus Christ. He took upon himself the punishment for the sins of all. It is for this reason that He has the right to have the entire universe together in gratitude and praise to God. He deserves respect !

   No one can live without hope, it's like food, drink and air. But, unfortunately, in our world, the hope of most people is false - money, politics, etc. The mistake is that, and rightly so, the main hope of people should not be a wallet, not a king or a president. Hope must be God, who created everything, who holds everything in his hands and who loves very much all whom he created. It also goes on to talk about the Scriptures: everything we need to know, what we need to do, and what our future is. There are things that do not depend on us, and we must do our part ourselves.

   Unfortunately, not only do most people not want to know God, but also the fact that many believers give themselves little time to get closer to God, and this needs to be corrected: we must pray more and read the Holy Scriptures, in addition, to work for other people - to tell them about God. And not to be alone, to be in church is a must.

   God has His people on earth. During the Old Testament it was the Israelites, during the New Testament it is also, one might say, a people who keep all the commandments and believe in Jesus Christ. And again, it must be said that there is hope not only for individuals, but for God's people as a whole. God has a lot of patience and mercy: despite the fact that both the Israelites and the church did many bad things, He did not leave them, lovingly continued to keep them and help them.

   And at the end of the psalm it is said that God has always wanted to renew man, to rebuild His image in him. God's purpose is for man not only to receive the remission of sins, but to become a perfect man forever. And this person will live on the new earth without sin and death. This should happen soon.

   God gives every person the right to choose - this world is open to everyone !
