Psalms

SERVE GOD WITH A SINCERE HEART

1 The God of gods, the Lord has spoken,
he summons the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting.
2 God has shone from Zion, perfect in beauty.
3 God is no longer silent, he comes;
before him is a devouring fire,
around him a raging storm.
4 He calls to the heavens above,
and to the earth below,
that he may judge his people.
5 "Gather before my faithful ones,
who made a covenant with me by sacrifice."
6 The heavens will proclaim his sentence,
for God himself is the judge.
7 "Hear, O my people, for I am speaking.
I will accuse you, O Israel,
I am God, Your God!
8 Not for your sacrifices do I reprove you,
for your burnt offerings are ever before me.
9 I need no bull from your stalls,
nor he-goat from your pens.
10 For I own all the beasts of the forest
and the animals of my thousand hills.
11 All the birds of the air I know;
all that move in the fields are mine.
12 I need not tell you if I were hungry.
for mine is the world and all that it contains.
13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls
or drink the blood of goats?
14 Yet offer to God a sacrifice of thanks,
and fulfill your vows to the Most High,
15 Call on me in time of calamity;
I will deliver you, and you will glorify me."
16 But God says this to the wicked;
"What right have you to mouth my laws,
or to talk about my covenant?
17 You hate my commands
and cast my words behind you.
18 You join a thief when you meet one;
you keep company with adulterers,
19 You have a mouth of evil
and a deceitful tongue.
20 You speak ill of your brother,
and slander your own mother's son.
21 Because I was silent while you did these things,
you thought I was like you.
But now I rebuke you
and make this charge against you.
22 Give this a thought, you who forget God,
lest I tear you to pieces with no one to help you.
23 Those who give with thanks offerings honor me,
but the one who walks blamelessly,
I will show him the salvation of God."

I was going through Bren Sia's blog and i was chatting with her when she asked me to comment about this some-comment as in applying it into life and stuff like that..

Emm..For me,in my Christianity belief,God is the Almighty one and yes,it is true and undeniable that he is creates all things in this world..So i truly feel that there is no need to like sacrifice and animal to him as he has stated in the psalm that he knows every single creature that exist in this world..

And for the wicked, we all should and must always refrain from all the evil doings as all of these works are of Satan-the Devil..Like in life,when for a married couple,it is stated in one of the 10 commandments that Thou Shall Not Commit Adultery as it is a sin..(Ok somehow i'm kinda lost my point but you get me right??)So i gonna just stop here..hehe..(Sorry Bren,i don't know what else to say.. =( )

That's all for this post..gonna post one more post up after this..
