King tells me that God's position is exalted above everything, Father tells me that even though He is highly exalted (lofty) I can have a personal relationship with Him as His child. Being part of His family I should carry myself in respect to Him. I should show respect and humble myself because God is above me and everything else.

I love Psalm 1, Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly. I remember how I memorized this Psalm years ago. Pastor Ryder, a man of prayer, would always refer to this Psalm from time to time. I remember hearing it and decided on one of those times to look into it for myself. I started saying it over and over and than sgtarted to pray it. It encouraged me as it led me on my days. I wasn't judging anyone but knowing what to avoid made me sharper spiritually.As time went on I couldn't wait to become one of those trees planted by the rivers of water bringing forth fruit in it's season. To me that meant I was being used by God for the harvest. I am truly blessed and seperated by the Holy Spirit.

Q3. (Psalm 139). In what way does the wonder of creation in the psalm seem to affect the psalmist? In his concluding prayer in verses 23-24, what does he ask God to do? The psalmist is overwhelmed knowing that God is everywhere keeping everything he has created in order and knows everything about him. He knows his getting up and lying down and all in between that. Because God has unlimited resorces the psalmist realizes God knows everything including our thoughts. At this knowledge the psalmist is asking God to help him to have the right words when speaking that will glorify him from his heart and not sin against him.

(Psalm 19) Verses 1 to 6 seem very different from verses 7 to 13, but there is a common thread that relates the first part to the second part. What is it? In what way does the psalmist seem to bask in God's Word? Have you ever felt that way? How does the psalmist's wonder in creation seem to affect him in this psalm? In the classic prayer of verse 14, what is David asking God to do? I believe the common thread between the 2 parts is obeidence to God the Creator and Master of all. God has commanded the creation of the heavens to do exactly as He controls and it is in accordance to how he wants it. If we think about this and add the laws of His Word to our lives we will be in accordance to his will and be blessed as well. What God has said will last forever and we that heed to it shall be a blessing unto our Majestic Lord. Knowing that God is in total control over His creation affects us by knowing he has our well being as his concern. He will protect us and keep us. Everything has to listen to his command and when it concerns us he is our Heavenly Father caring for us as a parent. Not just from the nature but also from the things that are of this world. So many people quote this verse 14, let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy heart. Most times our heart and mind aren't lined up. I want to study God's Word and Know it to apply to my life that what I think will be in my heart. The psalmist knew the Lord from spending so much intimate time with him, just by looking at the cretion being still to let God. I want to spend that time of quality time with God, that I can live and breath his name.
