Topic: God's Instruction
Psalms 37:31-34
The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.
The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.
The Lord will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.
Wait on the Lord, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.

Love God

Psa 37:31 The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.
Law means direction or instruction. Have you ever watched construction shows?  On the good shows the contractor wants the house up to code for safety. The good contractors want to do the job correctly even if they can get by with doing it cheap. "They have those codes written on their heart". They know it will keep the home own safe & everyone in the home safe.

When we write God's law on our heart we are doing it out of love. He didn't say write them in your mind that's when you follow the instructions begrudgingly. We follow it because we love God and we know God loves us and wants the absolute best for us.

 

When we write it in our heart our steps will not slide. That means each level we go up in life we won't waver, we won't shake, we won't slip.

God's code or instruction never changes. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever more (Heb 13:8).

 Why should we keep God's instruction in our heart?

 

Psa 37:32 "The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him."
We are in a war. A spiritual war. The wicked slays us by convincing us to ignore God's instruction. When we ignore God we build our house on our own will, we build our house on sand.

Anything we do apart from God will be below code. Our house will not stand and the wicked will slay us. Our foundation will crack. Our plumbing will leak. We will lack support beams an our house will fall.

Follow God

When we follow God's instruction in love, we will have a house built of brick upon a rock (Matt 7:24-27). When the wicked comes to blow our house down, it will stand.
When we follow God's instruction he gives us the Holy Ghost which is equivalent to having state of the art alarm system on the doors and windows and motion detectors in and around our home. Intruders upon trespassing will set off our spiritual alarm. We will begin to pray and apply God's word and the intruder will flee (Jam 4:7).
Psa 37:33 "The Lord will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged."

If we stay up to code by following God's instruction the wicked will come but God will not leave us in his hand. Meaning God will not leave us in his power.

 We should write God's word in our hearts so we won't sin against God (Psalms 119:11) When we sin against God its as if bringing termites into our home. We don't see the immediate effects and we think our house is stable but they are slowly eating away at the foundation.

When it falls and it will, we will say God why have you forsook me? Why did you abandon me?

We forgot we brought home termites. We forgot we built our house on sand.
`

Wait on God

We have to wait on him and keep our house up to code. Psa 37:34 "Wait on the Lord, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it."

We must love God's instruction by keeping it close to our heart. God always lets us know the result of serving him. He says he will exalt us & we will not slide. The enemy never tells us the result of serving him. He just lures us to destruction. We let him into our hearts and he leaves termites.

Conclusion

Psalms 37:31-34
The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.
The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.
The Lord will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.
Wait on the Lord, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.

Love God, follow his instruction, wait on him and he will exalt us to inherit the land.
We don't even have mortgage to pay because our house is paid in full by Jesus Christ (1 Cor 6:19-20).

Love Him. Follow Him. Wait on Him

Love Him. Follow Him. Wait on Him

Love Him. Follow Him. Wait on Him
Stay up to code!
