Psalm 119:165 (AMP)
165 Great peace have they who love Your law; nothing shall offend them or make them stumble.
Reflections:
Every true child of Gods desires holiness above all else. They want their lives to please the one who died for them. This is their way of honoring Christ and saying thank you for all he bore to make us his.
The Christian�s only true frame of reference is the written word of God (the Bible). Along with salvation comes a hunger to know and understand the things of God, just like with a newborn baby comes with a hunger for milk so that it might grow. We need to know:
� Who we are now that we�ve given our life to Christ?
� Who is this Christ that freely gave His life for us?
� What does God expect of us?
When we first get saved we don�t personally know the answer to these questions; even if we were raised in a Christian form of religion. The answer to these questions and many, many more lie quietly nestled between the covers of this supernaturally inspired volume of God; just waiting to be discovered.
As we read and sincerely desire its truths the Holy Spirit within us goes about the process of transferring this written word of God from text on a page to the renewing our minds in Christ. This incredible �law of God� is gently and carefully written upon our hearts until one day we too come to know its profound truth and, thankfully proclaim,
�Great peace have they who love Your law; nothing shall offend them or make them stumble.�

John P. responded to yesterday's "Bible Portion for Today" regarding giving a word of encouragement to others:
"It was February 14, 1992 I was on a beach in Fla. Depressed, hurting, lonely. In the last 2 months I had lost my wife (to another) went bankrupt and lost my job. My mind was reeling about life's events over these 2months. Some well meaning Christians even suggested that God was in it!! I knew my God does not do this to his own!!! Only my feet were in the water and as the waves rolled over them I could feel myself sinking a little as each wave covered them with a little more sand. At that time I had been a Christian 23 years. I felt I heard Gods voice at that moment, as I looked down at my sinking feet, say "Forgive them that betrayed you and let them go or you will sink like your feet are!!"
I then sat down clothes and all and let the waves soak my bottom and forgave them and let them go and had a wonderful cry with the God of all comfort next to me. Then got up and walked away a new creation again!"
Domenic also responded:
"For me I just remember back in 1998 when I was sentenced to 2 to 5 in the new hampshire state prison system. I was in the holding cell waiting to be transferred and I just felt the presence of God and that it was gonna be OK. From that day until now I have never found it necessary to go back to my old lifestyle. As I study, read and hear God's word I realize that we all are gonna go through times in our life's that are difficult but for those of us who are in Christ Jesus He will never leave us nor forsake us. I just recently heard a message on Joseph and what he went through. He was innocent, I was guilty but I see God using my trials for his good and purpose.
Ultimately He wins and gets the GLORY!"
Tina also responded:
As I have journeyed through the hardest trying seasons of my life, there have been many people that have been in my path. I have come to realize that the only true comfort that can calm my fears, ease my pain, mend my brokenness, love me unconditionally, listen to my questions no matter the tone of my voice is or emotional condition, continuously advise, direct what is truly best for me, speak to me in constant truth, never judge the worst things about me, accepts my apologies without condemnation, will never, never leave my side, give me strength & courage to face the unknown. My Lord, the Only Savior, Christ Jesus. I cannot lean on my understanding in my best days, it brings me more reassurance and peace to know that the Living God creator of all knows just what I need and is more than willing to generously provide every detail. He accepts me just as I am. People will say you can trust in them, the words may bring reassurance to some, I assure you it is temporary and most likely conditional. God�s Love is the best love, rest in His arms, that is the only place I want to be, when pain is inconsolable.
