Godly Aspect

Psalm 63: Prayer is the breath of our relationship of God. The absence of prayer shows that we are spiritually dead. I don’t mean just saying prayers that are not spawned from the heart, of course. Jesus said empty prayers amounted to only religious ceremony. One can dress up a dead body but there sure is a difference between that corpse and a living person even if he is sick.
What do you think of when prayer is mentioned? This is a good question. Your answers reveal a lot about your relationship with God.
Throughout Psalm 63 we will be able to make observations of this man’s prayer. I would suggest that David’s prayer life is an example of not just an okay or typical prayer life but a model from which we can learn. So stay with me. My hope and prayer is that you will not only begin to ‘breathe’ more on a regular basis but because of your spiritual life, have strength to run the race that God has set before you. Biological aspect
The present theory dovetails nicely with certain biological observations. For example, the theory requires a simultaneous juxtaposition of two views in the mind for humor to be perceived. This makes the general cognitive point that only a relatively sophisticated mental apparatus, which can simultaneously entertain multiple views of a situation, is capable of perceiving humor. Certainly a mind that can entertain two views at once is more complex than one that can only entertain one interpretation at a time. This would seem to have some general relationship to the observation that only humans, chimpanzees, and possibly gorillas, orangutans, and even macaques laugh (Gruner, 1978:2-4), but that ``lower'' animals do not. Cognitive abilities of apes and monkeys exceed those of the lower animals; this general relationship is at least consistent with the theory's requirement of a relatively complex mind.

    Generally considered to be one of the most notable of the sacred hymns contained within the book of Psalms, Psalm 139 is perhaps one of the most sublime declarations of the omnipresence of God found in the Bible. Attested to David, Psalm 139 is classified as an “Individual Hymn of Thanksgiving” 1 a genre in which God is praised for the singers’ delivery from oppression and various life-threatening illnesses while also acting as a “Wisdom” psalm, celebrating the creative goodness of God. While the actual date of the text remains unclear as it is notoriously difficult to determine a date and historical context for every psalm, most scholars agree that the hymn was written during the time of King David’s reign, there is however, some dispute among…

    “Lord please save my sister’s life. Please keep her safe even in the midst of her drunkenness and drugs. Jesus please keep her alive long enough to come to you for salvation.” I have been praying this for over 30 years and still I believe for her salvation. I am comforted by the knowledge that He hears my cries and has kept her alive thus far. In fact, last week she approached me about going to church again (she hasn’t gone since she was in middle school)!…

    Praying the imprecatory prayers ethically, meaning: to apply the prayers with moral standards according to God’s word. For example, David is the one praying the imprecatory psalm while clearly understanding the holiness of God and his covenant with the nation of Israel. Pastor John Piper in his sermon, Pour Out Your Indignation Upon Them exclaims: “This is a reliable expression of what happens to the adversaries of Gods anointed, David is Gods anointed and Jesus is Gods anointed.” They Love God with the total embodiment of the person, therefore asking God to eliminate the enemy who is causing others to fall, which in turn will keep others upright. David surly prayed these imprecatory prayers against King Saul. However, David could have taken Saul’s life; nonetheless, David showed his understanding of God and gave grace by cutting off a piece of Saul’s garment. Thus, a resemblance of New Testament scripture “Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good” (Rom.12:9 KJV). At the same time, according to Robert Plummer, professor of the New Testament Interpretation and author of 40 Questions of Interpreting the Bible also reciprocates claims in imprecatory prayers “the speaker calls God to enact His divine justice against the Psalmist enemies” In essence the Psalmist enemies are enemies of God. Plummer gives the example of David and Saul, “David who pronounced sharp an imprecatory prayer against Saul (Ps 18; 52) David is able to exhibit amazing restraint and grace towards his enemy in daily life.” Moreover, David understands the covenant and Saul is one of Gods anointed. Therefore, if David would have killed Saul that would be directly against one of Gods anointed. Furthermore, David is showing discernment of God’s love, will and…

    I believe we should have personal walk with God and hear the word of God. I feel that God speaks to me through the scripture texts. My experience of praying is praying silently but hearing God and receiving God’s guidance. My time spent in reading the scripture comes from a reference in a devotion book and, helps me contemplate on that text and devotional message. Meditation and contemplation are part of the rule of my life.…

    Waiting is not easy: waiting is a difficult and time consuming process. It can even be irritating and aggravating. Impatience in many cases can cause doubt. It is particularly difficult to wait on God to answer your prayers. You know that you are a saint, a child of God and storms are brewing in your life and in the midst of your situation you call on God but He has not answered you yet. The storm is still ragging, you don’t know how much you can take and it appears that the worst is about to happen; you may wonder “where is God”.…

    Growing up in South Dakota, you looked forward to Sundays. I was brought up in a Lutheran Church of the Missouri Synod, attending Sunday School and Church on a regular basis. I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior at a young age, and strive every day to grow closer with God and share His word with others. I do admit, there was a 5-year time frame when I had lost my uncle, great-grandma, great uncle, and neighbor/teammate, when I was frustrated with Jesus Christ, but through prayer and readings I became closer to Him, and accepted that He was in control. In high school, I relied heavily on prayer as I went through multiple sports injuries and had a lot of frustration built up, but prayer always seemed to make things better. I also prayed…
