Psalm 119:137-144 imparts lessons about reverence for God’s righteous judgments, commitment to righteousness, recognition of human frailty, reliance on God’s deliverance, desire for divine understanding, affirmation of God’s truthfulness, praise for His righteousness, and dependence on His Word for comfort and strength. These lessons inspire believers to honor God’s standards, pursue righteousness, seek divine understanding, trust in God’s deliverance, and find comfort and joy in His Word.

The Word Of God Is Righteous - Psalm 119:137-144

In Matthew 19, the Pharisees debate with Jesus about divorce and remarriage, leading the disciples to ask about singleness. Thus, in Matthew 19:1-12, Jesus addresses the topics of marriage, divorce, and singleness. Matthew 19 is not the first time Jesus addressed the issue of divorce and remarriage.  During the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5:31-32, Jesus corrects the misinterpretation of the Law’s allowance of divorce.  Much of the modern church’s stance on divorce and remarriage originates from Catholic influences instead of Biblical truth, raising questions about biblical alignment.  Correction of distortions to biblical teachings is necessary, challenging traditions that may not align with Scripture.

The Word Of God Is To Be Obeyed - Psalm 119:145-152

Shifting to Matthew 10:10-12, Jesus responds to His disciples’ astonishment at His teaching on divorce by presenting singleness as a sacred calling.  He affirms that while marriage is honorable, singleness, embraced for the sake of the kingdom, can be a chosen path to wholehearted devotion to God.  This juxtaposition highlights Jesus’ acknowledgment of the diverse expressions of human relationships and the significance of each individual’s unique journey in fulfilling God’s purposes.

Marriage, Divorce, and Singleness (Part 2) - Matthew 19:1-12

Trust in His Name

Verse 1:
In the beginning was the Word, with God, He was divine,
Through Him all things were made, in darkness He would shine.
Sin marred the world's perfection, broke the heart of God,
Yet from His throne in Heaven, He saw the earth we trod.

Chorus:
Oh come and see the glory of the risen King,
The One who bled on Calvary, salvation to bring.
He conquered death, He's risen, the stone's rolled away,
With open arms He calls you, trust in His name today.

Verse 2:
A promise made, a Savior sent, for every fallen tear,
Jesus came down in humble form, His mission crystal clear.
He healed the sick, the blind saw, with love He led the stray,
The cross His chosen pathway, our debts He came to pay.

Chorus:
Oh come and see the glory of the risen King,
The One who bled on Calvary, salvation to bring.
He conquered death, He's risen, the stone's rolled away,
With open arms He calls you, trust in His name today.

Bridge:
No greater love has ever been shown, than His life laid down for our own,
He is the Way, the Truth, the Life, in Him find peace, no more strife.
Hallelujah, praise His name, Jesus Christ forever reigns,
Turn your heart, don’t hesitate, in His mercy find your fate.

Chorus:
Oh come and see the glory of the risen King,
The One who bled on Calvary, salvation to bring.
He conquered death, He's risen, the stone's rolled away,
With open arms He calls you, trust in His name today.

Outro:
So lift your voices, sing His praise, let every tongue proclaim,
The power of His saving grace, and trust in Jesus’ name.

These lessons inspire believers to seek God wholeheartedly, trust in His Word, and find joy and satisfaction in His promises, even amidst challenges and adversity.

The Word Of God Revives - Psalm 119:153-160

Transitioning to Matthew 19:13-15, the scene transitions to a new setting where children are brought to Jesus for His blessing.

It illustrates Jesus’ holistic approach to ministry, embracing the intellectual and emotional dimensions of human experience and revealing His heart of love and compassion for all people, regardless of age or social status.

The Word Of God Brings Awe - Psalm 119:161-168

Transitioning from the heartwarming encounter in Matthew 19:13-15 to the subsequent interaction in Matthew 19:16-26, the readers witness a significant shift in focus.  The tender scene of Jesus blessing the children contrasts sharply with the following encounter.  In verse sixteen, a wealthy man approaches Jesus, seeking guidance on inheriting eternal life.  Unlike the children who approached Jesus with simple, humble faith, the rich young man is characterized by wealth and status. This contrast highlights the central theme of the passage: the nature of true discipleship and the radical demands of following Jesus.  The narrative underscores Jesus’ teachings on the essential qualities required to enter the Kingdom of Heaven: childlike faith, humility, and a willingness to let go of everything to follow Him.  Jesus’ response to the rich young man reveals the high cost of discipleship and challenges believers to consider the idol of wealth and true riches.

Wisdom's Call - Proverbs 1:1-7

Transitioning to Matthew 19:27-30, a pivotal moment in the Gospel narrative unfolds.  At its core, this passage challenges conventional notions of reward and redefines the concept through a spiritual lens.  Instead of focusing solely on earthly riches or temporal gains, Jesus unveils a vision of reward that transcends material wealth, promising eternal significance and divine fulfillment to those who embrace the call to discipleship.  From the disciples’ probing questions to Jesus’ illuminating responses, each element of this passage invites believers to reconsider their priorities and redefine their understanding of the rewards of discipleship.

The Rewards Of Discipleship - Matthew 19:27-30

I opened my mind to allow the light to flow with-in me speaking truth of my current suffering but still at this same rough times I find some shear glee. The joy of the lord in my heart made this to awaking my spirit and create this track. while also trying my hardest to lead a sin free life. I used old lyrics that still implied to my current situation in life. There's gifts at the end of the song that's what the lord showed me. amen
