The church, for too long, has neglected this reality and has been too comfortable cozying up to the culture and adopting its ideas. Certainly, Israel took from Egypt (Exodus 12:36), but only their material possessions as God instructed them.

There are times in life when we are afforded a mere taste of something spectacular. Be it food, or adventure, love, or satisfaction. A moment of sheer enjoyment - complete gratification

This letter was written to encourage, affirm, and establish the church in orthodox theology, in steadfast faith, and in assurance of salvation.

We see first, that the psalmist asks the Lord the “lead” him in the path. This can also been translated as “make me walk,” but the idea being conveyed is that of bending a bow. Before the archer makes ready his weapon he has but wood and string.
