http://bible.us/psa19.9.nkjv The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. The original design by God is the dominion of all of earth resources for the benefit of mankind. And consistent fellowship with the Maker of heaven and earth, through these resources, is desirable for uninterrupted utilization. Unfortunately, noice is introduced to distract man from consistent fellowship with the Lord. Noice pollution becomes a major strategy against effective concentration and useful reflection on desired management of resources. Instead of acknowledging the beauty of God in all the attractions of the world, the glory of man is projected, after a strategic noice modulation. Whereas, the fear of the Lord and submission to His sacred word represents the reliable filter against noice pollution.

http://bible.us/psa18.43.nkjv You have delivered me from the strivings of the people; You have made me the head of the nations; A people I have not known shall serve me. The prize of leadership over people is almost equal to the pride of stewardship to God. ‎In fact, there is greater joy and satisfaction in service of stewardship compared to the serving of leadership. For a divinely-anointed leader, it is expected that the likes of King David will be spared from the mire of human management. The truth of the matter is that the reality surrounding true leadership is often far from its idealogy. Without prejudice to the many excellent principles of leadership management, a focus on stewardship to God during apparent mismanagement of leadership opportunity is proven to yield better results. Rather than buying the open frustration from people's disservice, David acknowledged God as the main source of strength with his personal stewardship to the Lord. The challenge in leadership over ...

http://bible.us/psa18.30.nkjv As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him. Faith in God as a dependable Shield is essential for all believers. It is the basis of all relationships with the Lord. However, dynamic faith requires personal experience of the interplay between the Shield and the arrows. David's personal experience compared material shield with divine Shield at different times in His relationships. ‎Evidently, those who trust in material shield, including the chariot and horse formation of the world, are often disappointed at the inevitable failure, due to mismanagement of the formation. Even when His way appears unfamiliar, God's word is perfect and proven as a sure Shield.

http://bible.us/psa17.3.nkjv You have tested my heart; You have visited me in the night; You have tried me and have found nothing; I have purposed that my mouth shall not transgress. Many Throne Heads are generally related to birthright; but only one head occupies the throne at any time. Just like time and events of life try the heads, God tries the heart of man in the night before triumph of the head in the day. Even after the psalmist was anointed King, a new phase of his trials and testing had just begun. Troubles of life are no good until the goodness is found by a tested heart. Therefore, the goodness in the trials of life for every throne head is the training of the heart against transgressions.

http://bible.us/psa16.7.nkjv I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel; My heart also instructs me in the night seasons. Every succession of days is interjected with night; but there are regions or seasons when the darkness of nights become predominant. Night seasons attract doubt and discouragement, especially when hope of brightness is dependent on fuzzy forecasts. Whereas, hope in God gives sufficient brightness even in night seasons. When the Creator of our days and nights says "Joy comes in the morning, even if weeping endure into the night", there is sufficient reason to ignore the blackness of the night. Obviously, hope in the Lord provides sufficient light and guidance during the night seasons.

http://bible.us/psa15.1-2.nkjv Lord, who may abide in Your tabernacle? Who may dwell in Your holy hill? He who walks uprightly,And works righteousness,And speaks the truth in his heart Until truth is established, human concepts of righteous relationship are mostly‎ based on assumption and head knowledge. Unfortunately, the heart of man get defiled by negative assumption and fallible head knowledge, when divine assistance is not solicited. Needless to mention that the truth can only be established with the assistance of God. Expectedly, the Psalmist cried unto the Lord with great burden for the presence of God in the business administration of the heart. Rather than the desire for occasional visit to the presence of God, the heart of man can actually be the holy hill of God's habitation. Therefore, the search and expression of the truth in all relationships imply the establishment of God's tabernacle in the heart.

http://bible.us/psa14.1.nkjv The fool has said in his heart,“There is no God.”They are corrupt,They have done abominable works,There is none who does good. Religious people would hardly engage in open denial of the existence of God. But as the actions of wicked men increase, the apparent silence of God is often queried. ‎No one can successfully justify the experience of evil in homes and society, until the end of wickedness is vindicated by righteousness. Unfortunately, many are often won by the resilience of unrighteousness. Wicked men are not really fools by their open declaration of foolishness. Those who are won over by the wickedness are the real fools. May God deliver His people from silent sentence of ungodly works.
