6/14/2019 0 Comments Psalm 15--Unmovable![]() Have you ever wondered, What do I have to do to live a stable life, to not be twisted with every fierce wind of opposition or pulled from what is right to what is ultimately degrading?

I’m conflicted with his distinction because the ability to attain significance is a mark of success. But let’s take it deeper to the point Phil is really making—reproduction of what is important is what we ought to seek. To do this requires training.

But then they turned left, then right, then behind. They scorned those in power subverting their will When sudden calamity finished their thrills. So don’t hitch your wagon with those who rebel Unless you would like your pain to excel. Meditation Proverbs 24:21,22—My son, fear the LORD, as well as the king, and don’t associate with rebels, for destruction from them will come suddenly; who knows what distress these two can bring? |
