    For Those Who Run Part 12 Psalm 1

    BOOK ONE

    1[a]BLESSED (HAPPY, fortunate, prosperous, and enviable) is theman who walks and lives not in the counsel of the ungodly

    [following their advice, their plans and purposes], nor stands[submissive and inactive] in the path where sinners walk, nor sitsdown [to relax and rest] where the scornful [and the mockers]gather. 2But his delight and desire are in the law of the Lord, andon His law (the precepts, the instructions, the teachings of God) hehabitually meditates (ponders and studies) by day and by night.(A)

    3

    And he shall be like a tree firmly planted [and tended] by thestreams of water, ready to bring forth its fruit in its season; its leafalso shall not fade or wither; and everything he does shall prosper[and come to maturity].(B)

    If it matters to me It matters to Him

    God doesnt hide things from me He hides

    things for me. Jesus is the solution to the problem, mine, yours

    and ours.

    God will contend with them, that contend with

    me God is thinking about me, I am going to start

    thinking about Him

    We must take responsibility for the world

    climate in these cultural mountains.

    Im not exactly sure what we were doing orthinking. The impact of cultural ideologies

    without Godly influence have created our

    current culture. I think that we have to start

    from where we are now, instead of grieving

    over how we got this far in this drift

    In regard to what we were doing when all of thistook place, I think that we had become sofocused on creating our individual

    denominational lines and the identity thereof,that we lost sight of what the world and the devilwere doing for lasting results.

    We have allowed ourselves to be put as the tail

    and not the head.. It is going to be difficult toassume our place in society but with Godsblessing and favor we can make a difference.

    Covenant

    Genesis 2:23-24 (King James Version)

    23

    And Adam said, This is now bone of mybones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall becalled Woman, because she was taken out ofMan.

    24Therefore shall a man leave his father andhis mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: andthey shall be one flesh.

    Matthew 22:30 (King James Version)

    30For in the resurrection they neither marry,

    nor are given in marriage, but are as theangels of God in heaven.

    Why is the solidarity of marriage so

    important?

    Why do we concentrate on the structure of

    the family so heavily?

    Marriage is therefore a spiritual system that dependson covenant.

    Not to rob a woman of her identity

    Not to give men a right to abuse their place

    But a system to reflect the nature of Christ and thechurch in the spiritual realm.

    Marriages have to align themselves with the Word sothat the Church can be seen in its proper perspective.

    Covering, Protection, Intimacy, Submission You will notice that the same problems the natural

    marriage is experiencing, the spiritual union of Christand the Church is experiencing.

    Ephesians 5:29-32 (King James Version)

    29For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; butnourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the

    church:

    30For we are members of his body, of his flesh,and of his bones.

    31For this cause shall a man leave his father and

    mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, andthey two shall be one flesh.

    32This is a great mystery: but I speak concerningChrist and the church.

    Ephesians 5:22-25 (King James Version)

    22Wives, submit yourselves unto your ownhusbands, as unto the Lord.

    23For the husband is the head of the wife, evenas Christ is the head of the church: and he is thesavior of the body.

    24Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ,

    so let the wives be to their own husbands inevery thing.

    25Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ alsoloved the church, and gave himself for it;

    Ephesians 5:26-28 (King James Version)

    26That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the

    washing of water by the word,

    27That he might present it to himself a glorious

    church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such

    thing; but that it should be holy and without

    blemish.

    28So ought men to love their wives as their own

    bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.

    Malachi 2:15 (TheMessage)

    13-15And here's a second offense: You fill the place ofworship with your whining and sniveling because youdon't get what you want from God. Do you know why?

    Simple. Because God was there as a witness when youspoke your marriage vows to your young bride, andnow you've broken those vows, broken the faith-bondwith your vowed companion, your covenant wife. God,not you, made marriage. His Spirit inhabits even the

    smallest details of marriage. And what does he wantfrom marriage? Children of God, that's what. So guardthe spirit of marriage within you. Don't cheat on yourspouse.

    16Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you,and ordained you, that ye should go and bring

    forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: thatwhatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name,he may give it you.
