Thank you so much for sharing your answers! ...Jade,<br />Thank you so much for sharing your answers! I especially like your answer to 7. Our writing can be so powerful if we only allow God to be a part of it.Dawn M.

I think the Psalmist chose to use words like these to show that God's statutes are not based on opinion, but on what God wants for His people and what is best for us, and they aren't optional. Word choice is important because it clarifies our message and purpose for writing.<br /><br />2. Makes me think of this verse: For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. (Jeremiah 29:11)<br /><br />3. The Holy Spirit.<br /><br />4. That our life here on earth is temporary, that storing up treasures in heaven is much more valuable and important than living for this world.<br /><br />5. There are different ways to meditate on God's Word that are suitable for different personalities. My favorite way is to choose a passage and read it slowly, repeating it to myself in a quiet place, and pray about it to God, and try to embody it, to apply it to my current life situation.<br /><br />6. This means to be aware that there are false teachings and false ways and to cling to what God has said in his Word.<br /><br />7. To me, specifically verse 32 shows that it is necessary to ask God to help us when reading his Word to apply it well, that when God enlarges our heart, then we can live by his commandments. So, this suggests that our writing at its best is God and us together, Immanuel (God with us)nonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025913472730278205noreply@blogger.com
