My Walk of Faith

[Sue J Love]

“Righteous are You, O Lord,
And upright are Your judgments.
You have commanded Your testimonies in righteousness
And exceeding faithfulness.
My zeal has consumed me,
Because my adversaries have forgotten Your words.
Your word is very pure,
Therefore Your servant loves it.
I am small and despised,
Yet I do not forget Your precepts.
Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness,
And Your law is truth.
Trouble and anguish have come upon me,
Yet Your commandments are my delight.
Your testimonies are righteous forever;
Give me understanding that I may live.” (Psalm 119:137-144 NASB1995)

I have never been someone who is popular or well liked or well known among the people. I have never been a particularly outgoing person, nor was I ever someone who craved public attention. I was content staying in the background, quietly living my life, taking care of my family, ministering in the gatherings of the local church. I did love singing for my Lord, and in front of people to minister to them, and because I loved singing, especially in harmony with other people. That was the main outgoing thing I did.

But I also taught the Scriptures, beginning at age 16, but that was usually in small groups of children and young people and women, much of which was done in my home or other people’s homes, and some within the local gatherings of the church, too. When I worked for pay, it was usually in the area of clerical work, in an office somewhere, sometimes in church offices and sometimes in small or larger businesses. And I did love to do office work, and I loved helping other people, many times without pay at all.

While I was raising my four children, I did a lot of volunteer work, mainly in the areas of music and clerical work, but also in teaching, and in sharing the gospel with other people. I also volunteered in their schools and in some of their other activities outside of school, mostly all in supportive roles, but in a few leadership roles. But I was never an outgoing person, although I could lead when I needed to, especially when leadership was lacking, and so out of love and concern for others I stepped up to the plate, and I led the group.

So, what does all this have to do with this passage of Scripture? Well, the psalmist is talking about his zeal for the Lord and for God’s testimonies. And he is also talking about his adversaries, who have forgotten the words of the Lord. And he spoke of how small and despised that he was, yet he did not forget the precepts of the Lord. And he also talked about how trouble and anguish had come upon him, yet the commandments of God were his delight. And so I was identifying with him in what he was expressing.

For I did not choose to do what I am presently doing. This is not something I would have ever imagined doing, nor is it anything I would have sought after on my own. And by doing what I am doing, in obedience to the Lord, it does not gain me popularity. People are not largely drawn to me. I don’t get a lot of “likes” for what I post each day. I do get some encouragement, but I also get some strong opposition and some hateful remarks and false accusations against my character. But that is par for the course for what I do.

So, how did I get to where I am today? Only by the grace of God and by the calling of God on my life. I have absolutely no aspirations to gain popularity or to gain public attention, but only to serve my Lord in obedience to his call upon my life to write down what he teaches me from his word each day and to post these writings on the internet so that a herald may “run with it.” But sadly, I am small and despised, and I do have adversaries, and I do get treated by some as though what I have to offer is worthless and not valuable.

Yes, I am nobody important in the eyes of the world, and I am okay with that. But what God has me doing every day is not worthless. These writings are being viewed daily by people in nations all over the world, somewhere between 100 to 200 nations that I am aware of, and these writings are getting 500 to 1,000+ views per day, as far as I am aware. And I know some of those views could be AI, but not all of them are. So the Lord has essentially called me to be a missionary to the world, all glory to God.

So, what some of you think about me, well I have no control over that, and I am not in the business of trying to make you like me. I don’t do what I do so I will be liked, for if that was my goal, I would not be sharing what I share each day. But please know that these writings are going to people all over the world and that they are being viewed by people in nations all over the world, and that God is using these writings to minister the gospel of our salvation to people in nations all over the world. So don’t despise them.

And I would covet your prayers, that the Lord will continue to give me strength and endurance to keep sharing the Scriptures with the people of the world each day, in obedience to my Lord and to his calling upon my life.

With my whole heart, Lord, I pray
To be Yours, and Yours always.
Lead me in Your truth today.
May I love You, and obey.
Lead me in Your righteousness.
When I sin, may I confess;
Bow before You when I pray;
Live for You and You always.

Love You, Jesus, You’re my friend.
Life with You will never end.
You are with me through each day,
Giving love and peace always.
You will ne’er abandon me.
From my sin You set me free.
You died on that cruel tree,
So I’d live eternally.

Soon You’re coming back for me;
From this world to set me free;
Live with You eternally.
Oh, what joy that brings to me.
I will walk with You in white;
A pure bride, I’ve been made right
By the blood of Jesus Christ;
Pardoned by His sacrifice.
