the LORD bestows favor and honor;
no good thing does he withhold
from those whose walk is blameless".
The Psalmist always begins to reason from the ultimate view that God
could make all things right in this world by speaking them into
existence. We must understand the God is able to overcome all other
wills. This is why it is so easy for us to limit our potential by
thinking that God is limited by the system of doctrine or the view that
we have of relationships in our experience with other people. We must
understand that when God created us ,He mades us like Himself. We are
creators.
We get pleasure in making things from our ability to view and image in our minds. One of our greatest pleasures is to be free to imagine something that is beyond our normal experience in this world. We are not just physical beings. But we connect with others in a spiritual way. We teach ourselves by the words that we use to describe other people and our own experience. We place limits on our view that are not legitimate. Some people have never learned that the Spirit of God uses the word of God to help us rise above the limits of this world to experience the beauty and power of God. We must learn how to go from word to mystery. Because when we experience mystery we begin to develop a sanctified imagination. The reason that the christian faith comes to us as a negative and constraining experience is because we are living through someone else experience. We will never understand Christian freedom when we limit how God uses us by what other people teach us. The pleasure and positive influence in this life comes from true self knowledge.
This is why interpreting the scriptures and applying them correctly is a life long examination. Because we naturally bring God down to our own level. We must see how constrained the natural man lives. The Psalms teach that the expression of total freedom is the description that God has about the purpose for which He created all things. In other words God enjoys devising, creating and sustaining all things. The spiritual world has not limits of Gods willing and acting. We must understand that our salvation was receiving the implanted word of God. That is the fullness of God. The implantation is the revealed word that describes who we are and what Gods purpose in our lives is. But it is also the residence of all the mysteries of God. So this is why the Apostle prays that we might know that wisdom and love of God that is beyond our understanding. Here the Psalmist is depicting our spiritual world in the kingdom of God in which God sustains and emanates Himself in this legally perfect kingdom to cause us to dwell in the warmth and the light of this mysterious reception of His favor.
