Day 172

Biblical Principle - Absolute truth from God’s Word:

David knew his God.  He knew a Triune God who spoke to him.  David understood the truth that God requires those who are in authority to lead from the position of justice along with honoring God Himself.  In this passage, we see God the Father in the God of Israel, God the Son in the Rock of Israel and God the Holy Spirit in the Spirit of the Lord.  No doubt of whom God is including in the Old Testament.

2Samuel 23:2-3 The Spirit of the LORD spake by me, and his word was in my tongue.

 The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spake to me, He that ruleth over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God.

Practical - Works that apply Biblical Principle:

This section is for you to find a way to apply the truth in your life. I will try to give only one as example; there may be other practical ways. This is what makes the Christian walk so important and makes it important to have a deliberate purpose in everything we do.

Those who rule must do so with justice and fear of God.

Titus 1:6-9 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.

 For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;

 But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;

 Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.
