Psalm 86:11 – “Teach me more about You…”

Today, something from Psalm 86 stopped me and captured my attention.  Psalm 86:11 – “Teach me more about You…”  A lifetime could be spent there and not scratch the surface of God.   But that was the beginning of Revelation, not the fullness, therefore.

“Teach me more about You, how You work and how You move, SO THAT I can walk (live and function) onward IN Your truth UNTIL everything within me brings honor to Your Name.”

Going back to the promise of Psalm 84:11b – “Those who walk (live and function) along his paths with integrity WILL NEVER lack one thing they need, for He provides it all.”

We can live in that state and mindset where we are enabled to see, perceive, understand, and value how God operates and Who He is.   As we know Him, one of two things happens.   We move away from Him or become like Him, wholly yielded and transformed.   At that point, our existence, words, thoughts, attitudes, and deeds bring honor to Him.

Our mission in life is not simply fulfilling our assignment—it is Knowing Him!   As we see beyond God’s works, acts, miracles, and deeds to His heart, we are drawn into Him.

God’s promise to David is His promise to those who honor Him.  Psalm 89:21-22 – “I will be strength to him, and I will give him My grace to sustain him NO MATTER WHAT COMES.  23 NONE of his enemies will get the best of him, NOR will the wicked one overpower him”  [Emphasis mine]

Then, the amazing declaration Psalm 89:29b – “… a dynasty that will release the days of heaven on earth.”  Psalm 89:35 – “For I have given him My Word, My holy irrevocable word.”

One catalyst into God’s presence is realizing that He never lies and never goes back on a promise.   Therefore, what has He promised us?  I’m not talking about what we believe He has promised us individually, but what is His Covenant to believers?  What does the Word say?  

We fail to know God’s ways by failing to study His Covenant and Promises.   Ignorance is not bliss.  It is to miss Who God is.  Missing Who He is relegates us to mediocrity and religion.  Knowing brings us to transformation and transformation to freedom.  Knowing opens the door to reception in His presence.

Notice it says, “Until everything within me brings honor to Your Name.”  Everything is the keyword.    The question must be, “Does everything within us bring honor to Him? “  It is as we grasp this truth that we know what we must do.   Victory is within reach.   Receive it.

Have a victorious day in Jesus!   God bless you!
