Here is my wording of
Psalm 119:11
God, your teachings, commandments, and promises when I have a deep personal internalisation of them, they guide and guard against sin.
The actual words: ‘ Your word have I hid my heart that I may not sin against you.’
So what is an example of each of the three, teachings, commandments and promises?
Teachings: Matthew 4: 1-10 Jesus used scripture to resist the temptations of Satan while in the desert.
Commandments: Psalm 37:31 ‘ The law of their God is in their heart, none of their steps will slide.’ Those found in Exodus 20:1 – 17
Starting :
‘I am the LORD your God who brought you out of servitude, subjugation, slavery …
Then what follows is liberating.
Promises: ‘ You will seek Me and find Me, when you seek Me with all your heart.’ Jeremiah ( heart:a place of treasure and value).
God is there for you. You need to want Him deeply. All good relationships work with the heart and mind.
So I took the sky and left the sponge and painted Echinacea, the white daisy-like flowers over it.
The handful of oak twigs with acorns I put in a treasured vase with black eyed Suezy/ Rudbeckia fulgida Aiton. They belong to our garden. The Echinacea in bloom belongs at Wisley.
Acorns in a bunch of eight are holding on.
Their wavy oak leaves here and there.
Have a good day.
