Which way do you bend???

 

“You will guard him and keep him in perfect and constant peace whose mind [both its inclination and its character] is stayed on You, because he commits himself to You, leans on You, and hopes confidently in You. So trust in the Lord (commit yourself to Him, lean on Him, hope confidently in Him) forever; for the Lord God is an everlasting Rock[the Rock of Ages].”

Isaiah 26:3-4 AMPC

 

(Psalm112:6-8) no fear of bad news…in the end…

 

Inclination - deviation or amount of deviation from a normal, especially horizontal or vertical, direction or position; a disposition or bent of mind or will

Incline – slant, bend or lean

Straight - I'm cool, I'm straight, it's all good

Right - I'm paying attention, I seek God, I'm at attention

Acute – life is pushing me over

Obtuse - I'm stretched and need help

Reflex - I'm being pulled in different directions, automatic response

WHICH WAY DO YOU BEND?

What’s your angle? What's your intention? To move God or tobe moved?

 

1.   Psalm 86:6-7 (NLT) I will call STRAIGHT ANGLE

 

2.   Psalm 34:4 NLT I sought, all my fears RIGHT ANGLE, REFLEX ANGLE

 

3.   Psalm 77:1-2 NLT I cried… No help INACTION,  OBTUSE ANGLE

 

4.   Psalm 18:6 I cried (from his temple he heard, into his ears) LOCATION STRAIGHT ANGLE can also be “FLAT ON MY BACK”

 

5.   Psalm 120:1 NLT I called in my distress, he answered ACUTE ANGLE

 

6.   Psalm 118:5 NIV I cried & he answered, anguish (by setting me free) RESULT OBTUSE ANGLE

 

7.   Psalm 116:1,4 NLT he heard my cry, then I called (oh Lord, save me!) HOW REFLEX ANGLE v.6 childlike Faith

 

8.   Psalm 138:3 NIV when I called you answered,(made me bold &stouthearted) BENEFIT ACUTE ANGLE v. 2 bow down

“Finally, dear brothers and sisters, we ask you to pray for us. Pray that the Lord’s message will spread rapidly and be honored wherever it goes, just as when it came to you. Pray,too, that we will be rescued from wicked and evil people, for not everyone is a believer. But the Lord is faithful; he will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one. And we are confident in the Lord that you are doing and will continue to do the things we commanded you. May the Lord lead your hearts into a full understanding and expression of the love of God and the patient endurance that comes from Christ.”

2 Thessalonians 3:1-5 NLT
