As you point out, Pastor Mike, today's passage is much deeper than most people think. It is a wonderful verse to take the time to ponder. Let us go to a quiet place with this verse, and invite our hearts and minds to reflect upon the deep meaning that the Holy Spirit wants us to learn. Thank you for giving us a nudge to do just that.

We try to also use the "presence gauge" of Jesus Himself: "Would I do this thing if Jesus was visibly sitting right next to me?" His Spirit is, after all, right here inside of us believers. Another challenging gauge that helps us is: "Would I want to be doing this, if Jesus came back at this very moment to take us to Heaven?" We miss Hawaii and send everyone our aloha from Virginia

Psalm 119:25, 37, 40, 88, 93, 107, 149, 154, 159 “Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken thou me in thy way… Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness… Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth… I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me… I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O LORD, according unto thy word… Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: O LORD, quicken me according to thy judgment… Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken me according to thy word… Consider how I love thy precepts: quicken me, O LORD, according to thy lovingkindness.”The word “quicken” means “to be made alive”. In John 6:63, Jesus said, “the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.” It is the Word of God that gives us our spiritual life. Stop breathing; you will die physically. Stop reading your Bible; you will die spiritually.
When we read the word “quicken,” we do not think about being made alive; we think “I had better move faster.” God’s Word ought to get us to do things quicker! I should be quicker to obey – “But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.” (James 1:22); quicker to forgive – “Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.” (Psalm 119:165); quicker to love – “But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.” (I John 2:5); and quicker to change the way I live – “For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.” (I Thessalonians 2:13)
How quick are you to apply the things that you are learning from the Word of God? “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” (Hebrew 4:12)
Aloha in Christ,
Pastor Wayne
