 Jesus operative words are eternal. Consequently, they do not originate from us. Gods words remain divine words of eternal life. This is why God says all possible creation was put into necessary existence by His word. All of Gods words are creative and re-creative. All space in all eternity are under the infallible authority of Gods word.

 The earth is uniquely designed from the counsel of God from eternity past. The earth serves as an illustration of Gods creative word. It has been firmly established because God ordered it by His, decrees, statutes, laws, curses and promises. God in past put earth on comprehensive display that He has existed through all eternity as immutable and unchangeable. Gods creation is the exact symmetry of all He is. The created world has been firmly established, it cannot be moved. If God does not speak all things into existence, the world could be moved from its access point. It would promptly throw the whole universe out of necessary order.

 In the active order of days, months, marked years and in the undeniable beauty of all that God created we witness nothing in God that is working against all necessary things bringing Him glory. Even those things that seem to be out of order are in fact working to bring Him glory.

 What do we reasonably conclude to encourage us to identify our purpose in this world? When we see this earth as a creation of God, we understand Gods word is eternal. Not merely are all necessary things designed but are sustained by His sacred word. His innovative idea is sufficiently revealed in His spoken word and from an eternal vocabulary that is mysterious. Some of the reasons for events are unrecognized by us. Consequently, we acknowledge that Gods exhaustive word is able to produce instantaneous and supernatural changes. Our purpose in glorifying God is vicariously experienced as we exalt His word beyond our own wishes and reasonable attempts to order our lives by our words.

We cannot be certain an image is three dimensional in Gods view. Gods view is not from successive points of understanding a created image. He maintains original knowledge of the desired end of the image. Gods view is the exact replica of all His attributes. He derives the ultimate pleasure in His conception of the image. We possess no comprehensive understanding of the image from our view of succeeding events. This is why the revealed language is only appreciated when it steers us to the mystery of its power, structure and description as we interpret it.

Mans understanding of sin and necessary consequences is from a sinful understanding. Hence, we live in a culture of a complex restructuring of God's moral code. This is my necessary digression. To put differently it is through man's moral code that he naturally considers good evil and evil moral. The logical fall out is not explicitly rejecting God's morals but attempting to eliminate God through redefining them. Each man is bedeviled with a view to see himself as innocent and the other guy as guilty.Through self-power men change God's law to defend themselves and seize what is rightfully God's for themselves.

 Therefore, I don't think we are necessarily argue for innocence since the structure of corrupt society is upside down. It supports our sinful biases. Our sole hope is God declares innocence and guilt absolutely at all times or He would be less than God.This complex problem that God would not only offer innocence for some saints but give troubled saints the power to defend God's proper recompense. How does God reorder the social laws that credibly threaten His purposes to proactively protect His people? This is the abiding glory in the sacred mystery.

Equilibrium free will or libertarian free will is described as a scale perfectly balanced. Like the scale has no visible movement on one side or the other so equilibrium free is making a choice without being forced by any power. The philosophical question is how a deliberate choice is objectively determined if it comes from a non choice. If the visible scale is not moving it is not a choice. Equilibrium is the display of no visible movement so no object is determined or necessary. But a determined choice is evidenced when the body moves toward the principal object. We are accurately describing how we use appropriate language in a mathematically common sense way.

In order for one to make a choice he must desire one thing over the other. He also desires not to enjoy a thing at the expense of the other. The world was produced through Gods creative act. Desire must precede choice as the necessary reason for the choice. The scale that is balance is displaying no movement. When we are talking about free choice in the conventional language, it is a choice that comes from a moral necessity. We can discuss desire like a standard weight that produces movement. But libertarians describe a choice that comes from no necessity or reason. This is why we suffer no problem saying that God determines whatsoever comes to pass because nothing can exist without a prior necessity. The reason that we choose one thing over another is because we desire that thing not because it was without any compulsion. The choice is the success of the desire and not exercised from a non biased position.

 Our choice and Gods choice are not equal. There is only one God. God creates all things by His will. He not exclusively creates all things, but He sustains all things by His choice. He does the work of establishing second causes as well. And yet we choose exactly what we desire, which God created.

If there are two equal propositions of  reality and the determining factor of accurately knowing oneself is based upon the accumulation of objective facts in understanding oneself, then how do we reasonably know whether our comprehensive understanding of the objective facts is based upon genuine reality? Middle knowledge in my philosophical opinion is being able to know oneself through pure observation. How do we uncover the truthful facts if our empirical observation is slanted and biased? The sole answer is we must accurately know God to know ourselves. If there is nothing true we can understand about ourselves there remain no personal experience. We would not possess necessary attributes of faithfulness, goodness, and judgement, etc.. The incoherent view is accepting what He says about Himself and the world as indisputable proof that He accomplishes whatever genuinely pleases Him. The reality of all things is the proof that God acts graciously according to His desire. Gods faithfulness, kindness, love, judgement, etc. are not something left up to our independent observation but He acts according to His determined choice.

 Consequently, freedom to appreciate oneself starts with God being free to satisfactorily accomplish whatever pleases Him. Our empirical observation of God is what God says about Himself. What God says candidly about Himself is personal reality. If God decrees whatsoever comes to pass then our most beneficial interest is to adequately recognize His decrees so we  presume what comes to pass. But if we merely observe through data how we behave then how do we know if God produced the event or some other cause? This uncertainty is like standing outside of the house looking in the window watching the family inside to feel a part of the family. We are always starting with the logical proposition that we shrewdly surmise what God is doing. We are living vicariously in an impersonal world.

 If God decrees whatsoever comes to pass subsequently we are certain that He is solely designing whatever is done intelligently. Freedom is a matter of Gods success in the event rather than whether God allows the event. We can be as sure of Gods decrees as we are of our genuine desire to be adequately fulfilled in our own experience. If we are confident that God decrees all necessary things then we are certain about the event as if we correctly pronounced it. Therefore, we knowingly accept everything about ourselves and our objective world under our control.

 Every man is a hypocrite because he naturally desires and willingly chooses to sin. The difference is that a wicked man's sins are uncovered. Whereas a believer vicariously experiences a continuous renewal on the unstable foundation of his sins. In this proper sense, we all face the ultimate questions equally. We are all without hope unless someone stands in our place. Why does the bible designate a man a fool? Because he naturally thinks he can amply atone for his own sins. He believes he is better because of his personal disciplines. When we compare the individual works of righteousness against our list of sins, we are helpless. The fundamental point is that trust in Christ is everything in this disorderly world.    

The events of this life are planned by desire. The perverse desires of evil men war against Gods desires. God gives life, but condemned man seeks unavoidable death. Sin begins with a desire that does not seek the personal redemption in human relationships. God says our words expose the condition of our hearts. Gods standard cannot be manipulated. We arbitrarily cant control God with our fancy arguments. We approach God on His terms. Its His prerogative to demand we view of the earth from His estimates. This is for our own good. We rest in God to be who He declares He is. God does not grade on a curve. He looks at the hardened heart and weighs the corrupt motives. The reality is we stand before a God accepted beyond what we could imagine and based upon a work that we could not do. It is standing in Christ righteousness that we see how awful is this cruel world.

Ps 73 3For I envied the arrogant
when I saw the prosperity of the wicked."
The Psalmist is teaching that our only hope of being secure in this world is knowing God. If we have God then we are always receiving a blessing. So the question is why is it that we feel so insecure in this world . Why do we feel inferior in a world that was created and sustained by God? And the answer is because of sin and corruption that exist from the beginning of time. When Adam fell into sin , he began to redefine Gods word. The human race began to destroy the world by creating a culture of violence. Through many generation an evil society evolved. So now we are born in a world that has been turned upside down. Instead of finding security through the order that is established by the law, covenants, curses, statutes, decrees and promises we face a hidden agenda of threats and violence that drag us into alliances with little gods. So God has spoken through the axioms with the foresight that we would face a world that is full of danger. We apply the sure defense and the successful offense in order to shield ourselves from the dangers of this upside down world.
We must understand that the presence of evil is compared to the presence of leaven. In the ot if you were to remove the threat of destruction from your dwelling you would go throughout the house and remove the smallest particle of leaven. You would meticulously clean the house from top to bottom. He is teaching that the presence of evil in this world makes it impossible for us within ourselves to avoid the appearance of evil. Because we must interact in a society that is turned upside down then we are always in danger of the accusations from our side of the interaction. The problem is that we may not purposely make an alliance of evil with the wicked but we cannot avoid the appearance because we may be deceived. In the incarnation Christ had to live among wicked men without aligning Himself with their wickedness. We have been declared righteous in Christ. We have been freed from being marked with the appearance of evil as sinners by the lawful pronouncement of the axioms.
Because the world was turned upside down the evil is rewarded and good is punished. The rich profit by unjust means. Because God has created us to rule the earth we naturally want to prosper in this world. And because we interact with the wicked we cannot avoid being judged by our connection in the our business. Since the world is turned upside down we must use evil in order to advance our own prosperity. So God has given us the ability to use our own weakness for our own good by pronouncing the curses. In other words we have control over our sin and weakness by using the guilt and the sorrow to express our anger in the righteous curse. We cannot sweep the leaven out of the house by our own strength. We must pronounce the axioms in order to remove all the particles that are present. God has given us the ability to pronounce death on all opposition. We are only successful in this world by the process of renewal. We destroy our own envy in pronouncing the axioms.

 

Allow me state something on this complex subject. I think with all of the modern secularism there is a proper sense in which the dumbing down of incorporated society has brought about a moral confusion of the sexs. As we consistently hear these communications intended to steer us away from this worlds order. We are involved in a fight as to how the meta physical proactively working in the underlying causes of the worlds determinism adversely effect the negative way our perceptive faculties are deformed. This neurosis must be properly understood in this terribly twisted reality.

 This is a problem we must overcome if we come to terms with our anger. We can turn our anger inward. God is a God of anger.He expresses anger toward the wicked every day. Since they are hostile to God, He withhold his love by bothering them so that they dig their own graves. The saints suffer loss in this world as a result of men enmity with God. He curses the wicked shortening their lives to suitably reward the righteous with their lucrative profits.He does not eliminate the moral tendencies for hatred to be adequately expressed. The wicked willingly embraces the self-destructive hatred toward God and peaceful neighbor. God plagues them by ensnaring them in their own schemes. Since the independent world is pervaded with curses we confront extremely strong malevolence. Our only effective defense is the authoritative pronouncement of the curse. The ideological difference between a vulnerable child of God and a child of Satan represent not necessarily a moral beauty. But it is the qualitative difference in the state of divine salvation and state of eternal death. Correctly noting these things as God admirably expressing His love by defending us from their deadly opposition. Our anger is sufficiently satisfied in Gods anger. Its not that we conveniently ignore our anger and feel genuinely distressed by it, but we promptly turn to God who causes all necessary things to work together for good. His appropriate expression of anger is accurately reconstructing our trials for our good in properly judging the world. 

So that we experience a relationship in which we can be angry and not sin. Our expression in this life is that we know how to express anger. We know how we can use anger to glorify God. We know that we are not more able to deal with anger as if God were universally loving everyone with the purpose in the end of expressing His anger. We do not have the power to look at God this way. We will fall into the world, by being afraid of God as if He were asking us to wait until the end.

Do not neglect the anger that you have. It is there to remind you that God will not be silent. Bring your anger to God and express it before Him. Look at His righteous working to bring about the downfall of those who have not been chosen. See that there is nothing you can do to bring a man out of the state of perdition. Men are subject to the anger of God because God has made them to be in that state. See that God will vindicate the righteous not because of the acceptable behavior but because God is God by His rite to chose some men for hell. Dont let men trap you into anger that is not real.There is only one saving faith. So that any other kind of faith is dead faith. Instead of using the word justification let me use the definition. When a person is declared righteous it is because there was a divine call. That s what the golden chain in Romans is all about. It cannot be broken. Basically its who ever has been declared righteous has been glorified. They are fully made new and completely sanctified at salvation. But the final salvation is not complete until there is no more struggle with sin and death.

 Because salvation is not a way to bring man into the process. In salvation man is completely passive. Salvation is a work of God that has been obtained by the work of Christ alone. If man had any ability to cause his own salvation then salvation would be grace plus. Its like adding a substance to milk. Its always milk plus. But there are no additions in salvation. Its a work that is cause by God, was accomplished by God and will be enabled by God for the end that God purposed. Thats why the only saving faith is when Christ is the end of that faith. 

 The words about the cross like, made, accomplished, in, through, by the means of, for the sake of...etc. These terms are all really the actual ends for which Christ came into this world to accomplish His work. If He decided to work in order to obtain salvation then the work that He accomplished actual was fully effective to be the reason that salvation was obtained. He didn't work to obtain a partial salvation. The cause of His saving was in His choice and plan to obtain it. The means that He accomplished the work was by the cross. The reward for His work was bringing His own to the kingdom, He is preparing a place cause the work was already done to give us a place. If you water down these terms, then you have no reason to believe that God is the cause of every thing that exist. If God spoke everything into existence then He did not use any other means to create except what was in Himself. If God was the only cause of this existence then there is nothing outside of God that would be worthy enough to bring Him glory in order for that independent goodness to be equal with Gods goodness. God does everything for His glory alone, not for any thing worthy of glory in itself. So God causes, God sustains, and God will receive all the glory in the end. Salvation is in God alone.  

 If anyone should understand anger, it is a believer. Since we have been disciplined to withhold anger at the inappropriate time, we obtain our relief of anger in frustration by looking through the lens of redemption. The truth is that Gods justified anger is really fearful. We justly fear God out of mutual respect since we know we are assuredly not the chosen recipients of His anger. We reasonably look from the outside in of Gods divine wrath. We stand fiercely protected from His wrath. We stand in a peculiar eternal state experiencing His wrath toward those who are in bondage to sin. But we nevertheless suffer a significant problem with anger. We appreciate love because we know the anger of God in our defense enabling us to control law. God works out His anger directing the world on the road to eternal perdition. We experience love knowing that our Father will defend us by the expression of His anger toward mankind. Our hope represents a faithful soul overseeing our conflicts and delivering us to victory over this world. A fearful soul turns anger inward by falsely reasoning that there is no eternal perdition. We are favored because there is a day of reckoning. Precisely as the law either curses or blesses so God is particular in His love. God defends us by expressing anger in cursing sin. How can we desire His love if we don't feel His retribution for the sake of our protection? We would ignore Gods active hostility in the unstable world toward the unjust success of men to our own harm.

 Our genuine desires profitably grow as we declare our moral retribution in God. We must eagerly give Him our justified anger since He promises to amply avenge because we do not repay. Our childlike faith in His alluring promise is sustained by His ability to repay. Gods pure anger was seen in the supreme sacrifice when He triumphantly brought cursing and blessing together in a visible display of His attributes. In securing blessing and cursing together, cursing the curse became blessing. It was the inspired creation of mutual pleasure out of suffering, eternal joy out of heartfelt sorrow and divine glory out of cursing. It is not a necessary encouragement to push anger down or embrace blame for God to assuredly come to our needed aid. The cross returned our judicial control over the law in pushing the moral destruction under our feet by Gods perfect advocacy.

 Currently, we have been advised that anger is the cause of all of our problems in this world. We have been traditionally taught universalism. We have been directed to universally love all men the same since God embraces all men the same. God does not treat as our sins justly deserve since we stand in grace continuously enjoying love and divine forgiveness. But we still confront practical situations in which anger has an effect on how we justly fear God. Personal anger causes us to entertain a fear that God is unforgiving and not our friend. We misrepresent our state of grace by the pragmatic anger of the world turning it on ourselves. We invariably turn anger inward believing grace is not dangerous enough to resolutely defend us from formidable threats of this world. We become passive and unwilling to genuinely feel like we should. In voluntarily suspending the comprehensive law, we painstakingly create a pragmatic god. We trade personal enemies who threaten to intentionally destroy us for impersonal morality. Our deceitful god does not defend us by personally fellow-shipping in joy and supreme love. We must allow salvation be in God who completely expresses love and anger.

Grace and law do not mix. These hold no active substances, but they produce a state of being by their activity. The law always curses those who are under it. Grace always blesses those who possess it. What does the law reasonably achieve in a believer? It induces a state blessing by subduing and properly containing the personal opposition to Christ. But grace prevails on the genuine believer to willingly embrace Christ. The law of faith subdues the principled opposition. Because we live vicariously by grace the law comes to be our faithful friend in pronouncing death to our personal opposition. Grace steers us to Christ through the positive effects of the promise. The law contains sin and personal corruption while mighty grace empowers us to overcome all opposition.

 The law is for lawbreakers. Lawbreakers are those who are wicked. But the saint is precisely identified in sacred scripture as definitively sanctified in Christ. We have been set apart to God by the sanctified work of the divine law. The law properly contains a foreign sin nature. The law unambiguously defines our renewal by the proportional weight of the priceless gift of Christ's obedience. It is the standard of Christ's mercy and grace as that by which we are preserved like pain medication through cursing our opposition. We are no longer under the curse of the law. There is no necessary time where the law continues to be dormant. The law is always active in exonerating us or procuring death to our opposition.  

This is why it is so momentous to contain comforting assurance. It's the assurance of grace that prevents the law from turning on us. As grace is active so the quality of our faith in God is determined by our understanding of grace. Grace produces assurance because the law pronounces blessed innocence and curses our opposition. God has adequately provided a substitute to reasonably satisfy the curse of the law. Those who are justly condemned by the law are under the eternal wrath of God. The wrath of God is always as active as God pronouncing curses on the wicked. God never relates to us by grading our faithful obedience. God's covenant is proof He consistently responds to our success or our failure by pronouncing the blessing. God is absolutely simple. He acts both in embracing us and angry toward our likely opposition in our lives. On one hand, God renews the elect and on the other hand, He wantonly destroys the reprobate. God is infallibly just because He is completely justifying us.

 This Psalm is one of my longtime favorites. It is a Psalm that I spoke a million times throughout my 30 years of private meditation. I think we must, first of all, appreciate the approach that David takes as he rules over Israel. I've carefully presented this accurately throughout my years of writing. The Bible describes the dreadful state of man in sin. Sin has prompted the man to be his own god. The capable man was originally one with all that God created. He properly enjoyed fellowship and was given rule over the earth. These descriptive details of man's legitimate position before the fall are identified in the God-Man. In Christ's active ministry, we follow Him determining the created elements and healing everyone with the disease. As Christ walked from one local city to another He acted perfectly toward Father in a face-to-face relationship. Not solely did the exalted Christ accomplish all things together as God but He acted as the man to bring salvation and deliverance through the aforesaid creative hand.

 You see in the Psalms the standard usage of anthropomorphism. Clearly describing God who is a spirit who had no parts in a familiar language that we can accurately understand. These human descriptions are put in the context of how God produces something from nothing. This distinguishes God from a man in that every tool of man, even the language is borrowed from God. When we are talking about the law, it is a distortion to present it as just a tablet of ten things that we do to prove we have faith. God cannot act with the capable hand, mighty arm, feet, without His law. God has already established all things being held together by law, established through the Psalmist use of anthropomorphism.

 

Ps 106 34 They did not destroy the peoples
as the LORD had commanded them,
35 but they mingled with the nations
and adopted their customs.
36 They worshiped their idols,
which became a snare to them.
37 They sacrificed their sons
and their daughters to demons.
38 They shed innocent blood,
the blood of their sons and daughters,
whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan,
and the land was desecrated by their blood.
39 They defiled themselves by what they did;
by their deeds they prostituted themselves"
In the Psalms, idols are dead things that are a result of the marked fall. When man sinned, God cursed the human race and magnificent creation. Idols are despicable because they cannot produce the essential conditions of spiritual renewal. The curse of sin and extensive corruption brought about the spiritual death of the human race. Idols are produced by spiritually dead people. A person born in sin cannot transform their spiritual condition. The solitary way that a person can escape the prison of producing idols is to be renewed and made spiritually alive.
The dead sinner worships idols by developing distorted images. Before the created foundation of the world, God declared all things into necessary existence. God remains the lone person who breathes life into His creations. Everything that God created is a comprehensive description of lively images. God's divine revelation is a thorough description of the reality of all the necessary things. He is the only Person who can reasonably describe His creation according to its genuine value. This is why the Psalmist says that God's divine revelation is like precious gold and silver. His exact description of all things is breathing life into elaborate creation. The revelation of God is the only standard in this world of ideal images. Because sin inflicted death on the human race, God had to breathe life back into the spiritually unresponsive person. The Psalmist sufficiently describes this new birth as implantation of the sacred word of God. When God saves a person, he is no longer dead. God breathes life into a person by implanting the entire revelation. The elect of God is no longer in bondage to the imaginative power of lifeless things.

A person implanted with the entire revelation of God in this life and eternity will grow in his understanding of God's revelation. The elect cannot be cursed with death. But the world and the creation continue to produce dead images and proliferate cursed images. Any time man redefines God's law, he is describing a dead image. Our considerable opposition is not just our moral failures but they are warring with the wicked redefined images. We only have one weapon to exercise our control over the power of the curse as it is presented to make us return back to its control.  

The Psalmist says he will not even have the description of the idol on his lips. The inspired prophets urged the prosperous nation of Israel not to scarcely handle the unclean thing. If we do not measure everything by the word of God, we can willingly believe things that cause guilt, sorrow, shame, and fear. These functional attributes are all cursed dispositions that were disarmed when we were made alive in Christ. God has delivered His law, covenants, curses, decrees, statutes, and promises in pronouncements to dominate the curse. The entire world is under the control of the curse. We speak the pronouncements to control the entire cursed world. The Psalmist is no talking about the dangers of idols in our temporal relationship to them, but our cognitive ability to war against the spiritual dangers as we compare the factual knowledge with the sacred word of God.

We have been implanted with the word of God. We have been made completely new. The word of God is not new knowledge but constantly renews us by irresistibly reminding us who we are. The pronouncements work beyond our intellectual understanding to create the conditions of the kingdom of God. We pronounce the eternal decrees and the future glory visits our present experience. We pronounce the curse and we resolutely push the destruction under our feet. We pronounce the covenant-law and God's fearful retribution consumes our personal anger. We pronounce the promises and we experience a child Father relationship in the protected identity of blessing. The word of God recreates our unified view of ourselves and the world. These authoritative pronouncements can never be exhausted. As we speak them, we vicariously experience spiritual conversion.

Ps 9 4 For you have upheld my right and my cause;
you have sat on your throne, judging righteously.
5 You have rebuked the nations and destroyed the wicked;
you have blotted out their name for ever and ever.
6 Endless ruin has overtaken the enemy,
you have uprooted their cities;
even the memory of them has perished. "
The necessary course of our lives is predetermined by the eternal will of God. When Christ rose again, He obtained the secure possession of all necessary things. The continuous history of the world is ordered for His glory. Our previous failures remind us of the logical impossibility for us to go back and perform them over again. Everything that we persistently fail to perform or fall short of performing correctly reminds us of our evident inability to measure up and perform what we compelled the necessary strength to achieve. All of the things and situations that we avoid prove we cannot trust our particular strength to be secure. So all of the comprehensive histories are a display of God graciously allowing and preventing. We never act apart from God ordering it and imparting our sufficient strength.
 
The Psalmist is saying we can be confident when we prefer what we genuinely enjoy that glorifies God. We scarcely trust in our determined efforts to be better or confident that our enjoyments will be satisfying. We trust that our corruption proves we cannot add anything to our account of good or bad. The unique thing we come to be is because God orders it. We must learn to stop searching for social acceptance but reasonably conclude we failed because we were incapable.
 
This is why the Psalmist is reasoning that the purpose of the Psalmist life is always complete because God can only fulfill the Psalmist purpose in a perfect kingdom. In Gods kingdom what is corrupt must die and cease to exist.The Psalmist life is ordered by God in destroying all opposition. The only way to destroy all opposition is for God to will whatever comes to pass by allowing and preventing.
Not only does God will all events but He orders all thoughts. So God can cause to remember or forget. God orders all meta physical realities through the law, covenants, curses, statutes, promises and decrees. Everything that we fail to do or that we succeed is willed by God as He speaks the pronouncements so that our corrupted effort are recreated as if we did the wrong or the good in perfect unity. Gods elect live in a recreated universe where they cannot fail. Either by succeeding or opposing. 6 Endless ruin has overtaken the enemy,you have uprooted their cities;even the memory of them has perished.
 
This is why the Psalmist is reasoning that the ultimate purpose of life is always complete. God fulfills the purpose of an ideal kingdom. In God's kingdom what is corrupt must die and cease to exist. The Psalmist's life is ordered by God in quelling all opposition. The exclusive way to eliminate all opposition is for God to will whatever comes to pass by allowing and preventing.
 
God orders all the intelligent thoughts of man. Hence, He can cause us to remember or forget. God orders all metaphysical realities through the law, covenants, curses, statutes, promises, and decrees. Everything that we fail to complete or that we succeed is determined by God as He speaks the authoritative pronouncements. Our corrupted effort is recreated as we did the act in perfect unity. He faithfully recreates the universe to prevent the beloved saints from failing. He gave us the empirical law to subdue and overcome all determined opposition.9  6 "Endless ruins have overtaken the enemy. You have uprooted their cities; even the memory of them has perished."


 

 Believers are qualified to think as deep and as wide as they are inspired. This may tacitly seem outside the box. But we live in a social world that is turned upside down. Men distort the culture in a passive acceptance of violent domination. It is a universal ethical standard of social abuse. Men are not the ultimate judge to determine where violence stops and genuine peace begins. Because social violence can be an overreaction to the general disposition of organized society or an ideological crusade of social domination. Consequently, all sinners attempt to turn the world upside down. 

 Every man is born in a world of sin and spiritual darkness. These two terms sin and darkness are the opposite of divine grace and light. This is how we can accurately measure the level of evil in a humane society. The question remains how sin declines into darkness. This darkness, that spreads over the world, is the level of the abuse of reprobation. This level of darkness measured up against the dispositions that are formed by ideas of the general welfare of God's eternal kingdom. His throne governs the world. We are thinking outside the box of the present state of the unstable world as it pertains to both of these opposite powers. Because darkness is not suffering the corporal injury but how men disenfranchise their neighbor.

 God's governing power is from all eternity. His eternal throne is the comprehensive expression of His love in a Trinitarian relationship throughout all eternity. After He had created the world, He pronounced the eternal blessing. God's eternal goodness as He determined His created order is sufficiently expressed by His eternal love, faithfulness, goodness, and generous kindness. He is satisfied with His work throughout all eternity.He works well for His own pleasure out of the evil and spiritual darkness of this world. God's throne is developed by decrees and providence over this world.

 We are naturally born in a world of spiritual darkness. The secret providence veiled the brightness of the glory of God. He is pleased to dwell in the glory that radiates through all eternity. This ineffable glory is the divine attribute of God's Holiness that adorns His magnificent throne. God's throne adorned with a beauty that is beyond our idea of all of the colors of the rainbow. His glory radiates beauty, love, faithfulness, and justice communicating to us as a loving Father. God rules over His creation in eternal understanding of the nefarious schemes. He is not merely securing personal salvation but reordering the dark reprobation.


We live in a modern society of the legendary hero. A society that develops a functional pathway to success. We maintain the most autonomous society that has been developed on the face of the earth. We have a disconnect between what is in our heart and our view of the world. This imagination opposes genuine hope. The bible teaches we develop a callous heart. How we examine ourselves is that by which we think, feel, and act as we relate to our culture. The objective danger is the logical extremes of life.

The first thing that we require to recognize is people fall in a direction in a  disconnected way. We have a tendency in this secularist fashion, to project our cultural success in a meaningful way that maintains no proper view of social unity. Consequently, our personal view of our idealized image is very deceptive. Our problems ordinarily come from both logical extremes. On one hand, we project our moral importance when we judge the desired direction,  seeking to grasp why they go in that independent direction. Our view of the practical things that transpire as we vicariously experience to see,  hear, and touch. If we view this life in determining events by conclusions in the direction people take, we burden ourselves projecting our importance. We suffer a hard time as sinners accepting that people go in an imaginative course. We ordinarily grasp why and what needs to be lawfully done but we are not omniscient nor omnipresent.

  People go in grievous directions and remain a cause for concern. Solomon recorded the book of Ecclesiastes describing genuine grief as he was looking back over his  life. We are hasty to evaluate another person about things we have no knowledge of because we have been influenced in the same way that person reasoned. We represent the Pharisees falling under the loaded weight of sin and grief. But we are commanded to enthusiastically promote the beneficial interest of our brothers.

 Therefore, we discover the problems that Christians develop in view of themselves. Most problems are due to the familiar weight of something that we held not considered in the simplicity of the gospel. There is one thing about saying Christ died for the sins of His people but another valuable thing to accurately apply that identity to unburden our own hearts. We develop healthy relationships by how Christ has dealt with us in our salvation. We have a Shepherd who actually carries our burdens teaching us to walk in peace.

The Psalmist is teaching divine salvation is an ongoing process. We go soberly from one deliverance to another. The question is how are we defended so that we are confident that we will be delivered? The Psalmist employs that precise term for God as Rock and secure refuge or high tower.The Psalmist is describing the attempt by the wicked to curse the righteous. This curse is not like the curse of the law. This wicked curse is designed to convince us we are going to lose in hand to hand combat with the enemy. Therefore, the Psalmist gainfully employs the term Rock which is a military term speaking of being faithfully delivered in the most fierce part of the climactic fight. The reasonable term is referencing our most vulnerable organ which is our functioning brain is the most protected by the Rock.

 What is the wicked curse? It is describing us according to their independent state of conscious guilt and shame. God has begun transforming us according to His creative word. The Psalmist sufficiently describes Gods view always from the highest point so that he can observe all of time. Gods description of us is in direct conflict with the wicked man. God regards us graciously according to His blessing. This is why the Psalmist speaks of the wicked cursing God and the righteous. They describe the image of God and His people according to their inability to deal with the curse of sin. In this way that immoral power that prevents them from admitting the truth is controlled by the pronounced curse of the law.

 God develops us as a new creature. He must properly defend us by the fulfilled curse of the law. Our position as new creatures is undoubtedly a commanding position. The bible teaches we are already like Christ but we are still awaiting the thorough renovation. The wicked was cast down into such terrible blindness and powerlessness that they describe their view from the most base instincts. When the Psalm speaks of the wicked blessing in their hearts its talking about flattery. They are speaking approvingly of people for selfish purposes. We describe this as setting you up, so they can wound you. The most base instinct is to intentionally set up everyone to wound them. But that is cursing Gods magnificent creation. And they are merely receiving the eternal curse of the law.

 You see we live vicariously in the remarkable foresight of God who does not deal with us according to our sin and weakness. When we struggle, God has pity on us. He considers our struggle as a weakness because we are provided the ability to always be aware we are sinners. The most noble gift of grace is this gift of moral awareness. If we were unaware of our sin then the curse of the sacred law would not be pleasing to us. The sheer fact that we remain sinners means that we need to be resolutely defended by the Perfect Man. He is saying we genuinely have a Friend with us at all times who is the divine creator, the one who comprehends us better than we know ourselves. He has the eternal foresight to determine the beginning from the end. The Perfect man has given us an Advocate who defends us according to Christ standard of law keeping. Christ took our curse. The Psalmist is teaching that God curses the cursors. Put differently when we are the most vulnerable, God shelters us from the fatal blow. We are consistently completely delivered.
 

This verse properly employs the three names of God that fittingly describe governing His creation. He never judges based upon the value of the principal object. God is the perfect Judge who preordained the objects of His divine mercy and the cursed objects. You see we would be out of our inquisitive minds and like created animals if God were to allow our worthiness out of the bag. In order for us to vicariously experience salvation, hope, faithfulness, and any of the divine attributes of God the reasonable question of the innocent and guilt must be decided before the world was formed. If God did not preordain whatsoever come pass then there would remain no hope of salvation. Salvation must be reasonably satisfied in God alone!
 
God is the divine creator, judge and principal source of all ability. In other words when God speaks the curses, they never miss the desired ends for which He preordained all things. When God speaks the divine blessings, they are always successful from Gods preordained decrees from eternity past. The sacred word of God is yea and amen! If God were to change His judgements based upon the events in time then He could be untrusted. This whole plan of salvation stands or falls on Gods divine omniscience, omnipresence and omnipotence being exercised in His governing.
 
No man on this earth reasonably wants to know God. Every man born in sin naturally wants to eliminate God from the earth. No man hates God who has graciously received the divine blessing of salvation. There is no such thing as a person loving God and hating God. You either love Him or hate Him. If you could be divided, you would be your own god. No man who observes the reality of the two key groups in this world will embrace both blessing and cursing. To be saved is to see that cursing is obnoxious and blessing is attractive. And to be cursed is to be naturally attracted to cognitive illusion that men are god. When we confuse Gods attitude with the two conditions of mankind then we redefine God. At all times God is wrathful with the wicked to the fullest extent. And at all times God is happy with the righteous. God cannot judge on a graded scale.
 
You see the objective reality is that evil is considerably worse than we could ever imagine. And Gods grace is so incomparable we could not imagine the blessing that spring from it. The problem is that when we mix these key messages do not seek God for God. We invariably seek a god of our own making. We must seek God beyond our cognitive ability to sufficiently recognize His awful His judgements. We must seek God beyond the way that man enjoys the paltry things and the usual relationships of this world. God whose peculiar glory and goodness is beyond our shallow understanding. The Psalms give us pronouncements and protections to discover that mystery.

The Psalms teach all things are gifts that come from the hand of God. So the question is where do all things receive their value? Because man is born in sin, he naturally thinks that comparative value of things he obtains are based merely upon how much he proactively works for them. But the problem is everything has value must be measured by God's law. Put differently value is wholly genuine when it complies with that standard of the law of God. Personal responsibility is understanding and distinguishing the authentic value of everything and everyone. The bible teaches that if we love our neighbor we will serve him as we want to be treated. But if we devalue everything God created then how can we be the competent judge if we do not value the specific things that they attractively value? And if you enjoy your life on measuring up to the standard of law that is the judge of your understanding of value then the bible says you love your neighbor. To put it differently, you comply with the standards of your responsibility to your neighbor. But if you fail to appreciate the genuine value then that is immoral.Hence this leaves us in an impossible situation. Because no man has ever been completely compliant to the standard of law keeping. This means that we devalue the  value of our neighbor. Consequently, God must pronounce death upon anyone who does not satisfy the standards or rise up to the respect that is required to love his neighbor.
 
The Psalms teach true value is understanding freedom. The truth is that if God did not curse lawbreakers then no one would experience freedom. We would be left with the standard of the law that we could never attain, and we would be forever stigmatized by guilt and shame. But because the law pronounces death then the true value expected of man must be revealed in Christ. Our sole hope of being free is to receive all things through grace. The sole way that we will be free is to think what we accomplish has been gifted to us by God.Because once we think that we are qualified to conform to the standards of the law then we deceive ourselves. The standard of accurate value is only through blessing and cursing. Everything that is corrupted has been devalued, and it must die. And it must be renewed to return to its authentic value.
 
This is what the Psalms sufficiently describe as being redeemed by God. The only standard of accurate value on this earth is much more expensive that all the work and money that man can earn. The reality is that the world does not really run on the entrepreneurial success of man. The world is always governed by God in absolute justice. There is ne'er a time where God looks at the work of man and accepts it according to the economic standard of gold.

You see in order for a person to be free, and he must be suited to do as he pleases. But the law demands that anyone who faithfully does as he genuinely pleases must do it in total unity. To put differently all things must be put in place by their accurate value. You see nothing that God satisfactorily accomplishes is originated without a sufficient reason. God does not act by expressed emotion. Consequently, when God does as He desires it is the most proper thing. It is the most delightful thing. God is the only and absolute free to do as He pleases because He is the only one who appreciates the value of all things. So we are only free when God carefully determines to sufficiently satisfy our needs.
