Looking At Psalm 45 - The Heart that Found a Priceless Gift

Reading of the Psalm

A: Weapons of warfare:

A: Spiritual life and Spiritual death

This is how God works, and this is how God fights. Psalm 45:5, “Your arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; the peoples fall under you.

What is wrath?

it could be in some cases and is related to a physical and a natural event.

but what is physical death if you have spiritual life? gain, right?

So the natural reasoning (without God's Spirit) mind thinks many times that physical or natural negative circumstances are the result of God's wrath.

so we cannot determine wrath, or God's displeasure if we experience suffering, or if we experience death, or hardships or bad situations.

So remember, God fights spiritually, and even though people can be alive and well, physically, God may have pierced them with his sword of wrath.

Different Fruits (fruits of life and fruits of death)

What is the fruits of life?

a. to determine if you have grace. (grace is not contingent on the circumstances of life)

2. What is the fruits of death?

asking this question is to determine if you are under wrath.

So what is the fruits of death? So that there can be undestanding to avoid confusion of self deception.

not being able to understand spiritual truth.

inability to determine what is right and what is wrong.

Man is completely lost and is so stuck in blasphemy that he will not even understand that God’s war has been won already, while he is still under sin, and under death, and think that all is normal and well, and even think to himself, to worship the god he has fashioned in his own mind, while God has already thust his sword through him, or her.

Moving on: there are many truths in this Psalm that it could be preached on for weeks.

B: Money and the Life of the Believer

most people cannot and never get past the money identity: (maybe 95 or 97%) as being their associative point in all their lives and doings and thinkings.

It defines their life, and it is a defining factor of life to those who have never got or grown past this point.

If you have it, you are evil! (NO!) you see?

you don't have it, you are godly, but always needy? (NO!) you see. ( you see some people in foolishly think that they have to make themselves poor and live in rags and live on soup for their lives, but this still means that money is defining them. They must make themselves monetarily inept)

Money (having or not to have), cannot define the person who is pleasing to God. It never has, and never will.

But when we see this psalm, we see a king who is totally pleasing to God, contrasted, with, in the midst of the psalm, a pagan king, who is only concerned about money and misses the point.

The king here, got it right. He found the gift of wisdom from God. God defined his life completely.

C: When God’s Ways Are Followed, Everything Is In Order

Sinners only see the money

you can be a rich man or woman of God. because you rule and you live your life by His ways. You live by God’s truths. You don’t bow to the money. You have real and true understanding. (( And neither extreme proves you to be defining life by money, and it’s abundance, or lack of.))

You know that money can be that sword if you bow to it. And you know this and you can enjoy blessing. And you enjoy the overflow of the hear of faith and you see no reason to bow to any other Lord and king than Jesus.

The king was rich. And he knew the difference between the sinner’s denial of anything that God provides, and the idolators worship of riches, as different than, seeing wealth through a true heart before God. And this brought real vision that very few have.

There is morality, there is righteousness, and there is generational blessing.

The writer shows the key to the blessing in verse 17, “I will cause your name to be remembered in all generations; therefore nations will praise you forever and ever.

he has determined to

Make the name of God to be reknowned in all generations.

Praise to be given to God forever.

Conclusive Remarks:

The point: My heart, overflows, with pleasing theme ( a melody, a song, a praise, and worship, and an ever flowing river of joy and love expressed to my God.) Everything, relationships, civil law, society, family, religious services, work, plans, money, are all the outflows of the initial command to repent, and make the king your delight.
