Day 181

Biblical Principle - Absolute truth from God’s Word:

God is both the defense attorney and judge of the righteous.  God is the judge and executioner of the wicked. 

Psalms 7:10-11 My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.

 God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.

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.

Since God will be judge and executioner of the wicked, those who are righteous should put away those who are wicked.  This may seem like judging on our part and taking away from God’s judgment.   However, we are to make judgments so that we can protect ourselves from falling to the wicked and to protect others as well. 

1Corinthians 5:11-13 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.

 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?

 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.

Day 180

Biblical Principle - Absolute truth from God’s Word:

When we face the troubles of the day, we begin with seeing the forces of evil all around us and a feeling of hopelessness.  But when we see the Lord and call on Him we then see the victory. 

Psalms 3:1-4 Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.

 Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.

 But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.

 I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.

When we realize the God is greater than the world we then can know the difference between truth and lies.

1John 4:4-6 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.

 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

Day 179

Biblical Principle - Absolute truth from God’s Word:

The people of the world believe they know the truth because they can imagine it in their minds.  They set up rules and ways of living that oppose the Lord to convince others to follow their ways.  Those who hold to the truth are not to fall into the trap of those people and their thinking.  All of the worlds thinking and philosophy are laughable to God as they are so small as God is go Great.

Psalms 2:1-5 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,

 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision.

 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.

When we try to pick between people we are going to follow it always end in trouble.  The practical to the principle is to always follow Christ and He will always bring us the leaders we need to follow.

We need to be rooted into Christ and established in the faith in order to avoid being spoiled with worldly thinking and philosophy.   

Colosians 2:6-8 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:

 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.

 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
